Astil Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 The first tournament will be ... Best Video Game. So to send in your nomination send me a private message entitled Power Poll. In this message list your top 10 favorite video games, from first to tenth. In the interest of fairness I am going to say for right now no Grey Dog Software games. For example mine would be: 1.

nZane Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Went with Best Cartoon. With the various age and geographical differences on this board, I figured that'd be the most interesting. That, and we [I]are[/I] just coming off of Cartoon Chaos Mafia. Best Video Game would also be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdgoldeneye Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 IDK if you guys remember, but we had a zillion "Best [INSERT THING HERE] Ever" threads that were exactly like this a few months ago. Not that it is a bad idea, but Best Wrestler and Best Cartoon has already been done (Cartoon by me! :D ). Best TV show too, maybe... I think it started with "Best Song"... (Flair won best wrestler, losing to Taker I think. Best Cartoon fizzled out when The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, and South Park basically stalemated each other.) So, I chose best video game... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris caulfield Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I choose Best TV show as there is so many to choose from. Also think Best video game would be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astil Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 The winner is... VIDEO GAMES! Updating first post to explain nomination rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 So, do we each get 1 nomination, and a list of our personal favorites? Or, can we nominate more than 1? I'll PM you a few just in case... 1. Goldeneye 007 - First really successful console shooter. See: My Name... Multiplayer FTW... 2. Resident Evil 4 - REALLY long, REALLY fun... Nothing like the other wannabe RE games... 3. WWF No Mercy - Great Game... Period! 6. Super Mario 64 - N64 System Seller... One of a few, actually... 4. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Super Big, Super Awesome! 5. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - My first console game. :) 7. Halo 3 - Forge puts it ahead of 2, plus, it had an ending! 8. Halo 2 - Good game, IMO... May have flaws, but I've spent DAYS in this series... 9. Civilization IV - Really fun, and addictive! 10. Guitar Hero III - Sweeeeet... I have tons others, and this is just quick from my head. Geometry Wars is cool too, but no way will it win this. I liked both Kingdom Hearts games, but I'm not fan of any other Final Fantasy related game. I've rented and played hundreds of games, and for some reason I'm at a loss trying to remember most of them... (GTA San Andreas was replaced by CivIV... I liked it, but I had to move it down. Rock Band is right at equilibrium with GHIII too...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
