I agree that Dark Souls is the better game. Still a very tough vote.

And again, it's so unfair to CT, as with FF VI before it, but choices must be made and The Nameless One gets the nod.

I dig the KC quote in your signature. First time noticing it.

Really kind of unfair to FF VI to have it matched against PS:T because the latter is literally the only remaining game (and one of only a few, period) that I would vote for over it.

This is another tough one, although not as tough as the DOOM vs. Super Meat Boy poll. Super Mario World is my favourite Mario game (I don't need to specify 2D, since the best game in the series must by default be a 2D game), but it's not a quantum leap ahead of Super Mario Bros 3, which largely did...

I like both games - Superstar Saga continues the tradition of funny Mario RPGs that don't take themselves or their characters entirely seriously. But if I have to vote for one of these, I think Guacamelee is closest to being a Top 8 game (though as noted above, I don't really think either of these a...

The thing about Chrono Trigger that I love most w/o having already written about it in the earlier rounds, is that the time travel mechanic creates wonderful opportunities for moments of humor, pathos and triumph. That you get to see the outcome of your actions, or what happened to people and places...

^ What he said. The first Zelda is a great game and, unlike a lot of the games of its era, still playable and fun to this day. But Torment has to move forward here. EDIT: As I elaborated on in extremely verbose fashion in an earlier post several months ago, I think there's a point when evaluating gr...

I'm gonna have to sit down and think about this one for a bit...

EDIT: See SMW vs HL thread for explanation. I could vote for Galaxy here, but owing to the matchups we have, I think doing my best to advance SMW and FF VI is the best compromise among the four games.

I don't have a strong enough opinion of either of these games, relative to each other, to cast a vote. Abstaining.

I don't know where my vote is going here. SM64 is the definition of genre-defining and groundbreaking at the same time. Yeah, the camera is....yeah. It can be somewhat trying to get all of the stars, in part because of said camera. But if you're not obsessed with all of the stars, and just want to g...
