1. Abstain - Haven't played Chrono Trigger. Pretty sure I'll like it more than Portal if I ever do. But no vote for me.
2. Super Mario World - Tetris is wonderful, but it's about high enough. Depending on when you ask me, Super Mario World is the answer I'd give for my personal BGE. It's wonderful.
3. Batman: Arkham Asylum - Yeah, this game is so good. SotN is also great, but it's not even my favorite Castlevania entry. AA rocks, and I'm still not sure I've played a beat 'em up as good since, although I'm interested to see how the new PS4 Spider-Man's combat feels. Been meaning to play that for awhile now.
4. Metal Gear Solid - Mario 3 is also one of my favorites ever, but I gotta give the nod to MGS here. I may never be able to conclusively decide on my favorite Metal Gear game, but MGS1 will always be in the conversation, and I'd also argue it probably stands up the best as a solo game. It earns points for influence in so many categories too! Stealth games, 3D games, cutscene-driven games, voice acted games, etc. I love it. Might be time to give it another playthrough sometime soon.

Let it be known I vote for
1. Portal
2. Tetris
3. Symphony of the night

Thankfully for you, all three won their brackets so none of your missing votes would have been difference-makers.
