I'm actually convinced enough by Spore's impassioned defence of LISA that I'm going to pick up a copy this weekend and give it a try before committing to a vote in this poll.

I was actually crafting a post saying I'd buy it for any three people who PM me about it. I'm donating to the Lisa Super PAC.

Couldn't get into LISA, personally. I gave it a shot but it was a little too raw for me - which might be a good thing for some!

I committed to Fallout 2. Personally I think the original was more groundbreaking, but very much enjoyed 2 just the same.

Resident Evil Revelations was a really good entry in the series, especially on a handheld.

My first abstention. I liked Cryostasis and Tribes: Ascend but I couldn't honestly vote for either of them in a BGE poll.

If I'd have played Fallout 2, I no doubt would have voted for it. Sadly I haven't got round to it yet.

No vote from me.

Fallout 2. Probably the easiest vote I'll make this round. Absolutely love the game. Always a tossup between 2 and New Vegas for my favorite in the series.

Stuck with a single vote on this one. An easy choice for the simple fact that I haven't played the bulk of games here, but with a specific snub to Revenge of Shinobi on the grounds that Shinobi 3 was superior and generally more fun. As for Fallout 2, it was a superior addition to FO1 and stands as one of the true greats in the series.
