Still punting for Pokemon Snap. A sequel is needed!

I dislike this.

Ah, was wondering if I'd get to see Rogue Squadron on the list or not. Any game that let's me fly various Star Wars craft will be fondly remembered. So what if you could only see fog instead of the actual level ahead of you?

Don't worry tooie, paper please and mass effect will all beat it out.

No vote for me here as I haven't played anything besides Pokemon Snap, which bored me.

Another courtesy vote from me for Papers, Please. This will likely be the last round I throw in for it.

I also voted for Fallout 3. I won't go on too much about it, but I put well over 150 hours into this game and never felt bored. I think Bethesda did a tremendous job of moving the spirit of F.O. 1 & 2 into the first person space, maintaining the lonely, terrifying, often hilarious setting and ensuring combat retained its free-tactics sensibilities. This one gets a vote from me on the combat alone. The ridiculous havoc I was able to wreak speaks to my opinion that this is one of the finest RPG battle systems of all time. Glorious.

Gary? Garrrrrrryyyyy...

Papers, Please, Mass Effect 2, and Fallout 3 will advance to the next round!
