Welcome to the first round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the set generator at Random.org. There's no seeding, no ranking, and no preference or prioritization.

The results of the pools will determine how each game stacks up in the elimination rounds, coming later this year.

HOW TO VOTE

Voting is ranked, but it's not super intuitive, so listen up.

• You have 6 total votes to distribute.
• You can only select up to 3 options.
• You can only give each option up to 3 votes.
• NOTE: The number you pick is not the RANK of your choice (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the number of VOTES you're giving it.
• The more votes (bigger numbers) a game gets, the better for that game.

EXAMPLES

• You could pick three games and order them by giving them 3, 2, and 1 votes.
• If you like three games equally, you could give them 2, 2, and 2 votes.
• If you only like two games, you could give them 3 and 3 votes (or 3 and 2, etc.).

This gives you a lot of granularity for how you assign your votes and thereby a lot of influence over which games can do well. Use your power wisely!

If you have questions, ask before voting!

Splatoon 2 was an excellent follow up to the original, and remains to be a very unique series in the third person shooter genre.

Arkham City wasn't bad, but it wasn't Arkham Asylum, that's for sure.

I gave my main votes to Dynasty Warriors 3, which is where we finally saw the true beginnings of what we now know to be the Omega Force Warriors formula. DW1 was a fighting game, and DW2 transitioned to the big-map hack & slash but with major technical limitations. DW3 was a huge leap forward in terms of draw distance, number of enemies on screen, and character handling.

Second vote to Terranigma, and third vote to this version of Mega Lo Mania, just to keep it boosted for future rounds.
