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!

NBA Jam: On Fire Edition is the best game in the series, and that's saying a lot. I technically played more of the 2009 (?) release, but OFE is the superior product. Absolutely outstanding arcade gameplay that can rope in even the most sports-apathetic people I know. A transcendent game.

TMNT: Turtles in Time is so good at what it does that I have seriously considered buying it.

Xenoblade Chronicles is probably my favourite jrpg, definitely up there.

Shout out to COD 5. Last one I really played. Spent a lot of time on the campaign and even dabbled a fair bit in the online mode.

I cast my sole vote for the Turtles. Pretty much perfect arcade beat'em-up.

Sorry Xenoblade, but you didn't impress me after all the hype. PS2-lookin' vanilla RPG. Maybe the remaster will live up to its own standards.
