I'm going to think about this one a bit. Zero Mission is good, I'm just not sure it's worth a vote. I've only played it an hour or so too.

Probably not worth a vote if that's all you've played of it. You didn't have enough time to be underwhelmed by the map design and turned off by the attempt at changing things up in the false ending / endgame. There are better Metroid games. This one feels like they were phoning it in.

I'll be voting for Day of the Tentacle and Doom II. Trying to decide about my third vote.

Kong, if you don't boot up Bloodborne this week I'm going to be very disappointed in you.

I'll be very disappointed in everyone if Thousand Year Door doesn't make it through, it's top 50 material, nevermind top 128.

For what it's worth, Humphries, I disagree with this completely. I've only played Super Metroid and Zero Mission to completion (I've also played Prime 1 and Fusion about half way through), but I think Zero Mission is superior despite Super's vaunted reputation. I really can't say enough good things about it. I loved it.

Metroid, Metroid: Zero Mission, and Doom II: Hell on Earth will advance to the Top 128.
