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!

Spyro Attack of the Rhynocs is the best post-Insomniac Spyro game outside the Reignited Trilogy. Really loved that game.

Meteos is the clear winner here for me. Loved that game. Vice City is one of the few GTAs I really got into and was my intro to the series. Daytona gets a vote for its main theme alone.

I split big votes between the excellent Vice City (even though I think I honestly preferred vanilla GTA 3), and the excellent and difficult Slitherlink. Part of the difficulty was that it was in Japanese, but it did hook me into the puzzlesystem enough that I also bought a version on Vita as well.

I voted for only Meteos here. For someone who doesn't like games like that as a rule, I loved this one. It's easy to play cheaply if you choose to, but that doesn't make it a bad game...
