Welcome to the second round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence 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... realistically in early 2021.

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!

Again a list with unknown games .. just gave a vote to King of Fighters as I have played an entry in the series (GB)

God of War really is a good game even though I got distracted from it.

I'm surprised you don't know Cannon Fodder, as a European PC-gamer of a certain retro vintage.

I gave my main votes to the excellent God of War—wish there had been more of it!—and Borderlands, with my remaining one-off vote for CF.

Ah well, I may have played a shareware version of it but didn't like it that much. Had to look up some images of the game to see if it looked familiar.

Ah god of War the average to good gameplay that basically holds it up with the fantastic story/visuals

Borderlands gets 3 votes from me.
I bought it in 2009 shortly after release based on the excellent cover art alone. Ended up being a series I would really enjoy and buying the sequels on launch. The first game has a lot of flaws and things that were mostly all improved by the best game in the series (BL2) but I have a soft spot for where it all began.
It was my first time playing a looter shooter too which is a neat genre.
