    Geez! Shadow Hearts' cover is kinkier than Rumble Roses!

    Anyway, glad to see Gears of War and a Twisted Metal game make the cut.

    GoW and SW: Aarcade are both great games. I didn't vote for either though.

    I guess...yes? :p and thanks :)


    thanks. :)

    Yes, a lot of people participated from other forums. It was really nice to see! :)

    And there were sooo many games with 1 or 2 points. :p

    Fire Emblem: PoR was around #20 on my list if I recall. Nice to see Metroid Prime 2 up there as well, I thought it would've been ranked a little higher, but whatever. At least they didn't get cut.

    I'm actually surprised so many people actually play Fire Emblem (or at least PoR) for it to receive more than 15 votes. There's almost no one around where I live who's even heard of the franchise, and those who have don't play the games.

    Oh, and great job getting this up and running Yane.

    I'm actually surprised Metroid Prime 2 didn't rank a little higher- it wasn't as revolutionary as MP1 was, and the multiplayer was lacking, but it improved or refined the gameplay from MP1 in many places, some only smaller touches, others more significantly. Additionally the graphical upgrade was most impressive, and the introduction of dual-world mechanics (though obviously nothing new since ALTTP) took the gameplay structure in different directuons- especially with the safe zone aspect added in.

    I also would have thought GOW's more recent existence would have landed it slightly higher as well.


    Glad to see Symphonia ranked- I really need to get deeper into that game.

    16 low votes right? I mean, if five people put the same game as #1 then for sure it's on the list.

    Oh...I misunderstood...

    When I said 16, I meant a game had to have 16 points to be on the list.

    I don't know if it received 15 votes or not, but it did get more than 15 points.

    And thanks. :)

    you can thank me for that. I'm the only person who voted for it. :p


    but yeah, I put it in my number 5 spot, which would give it 16 points which was just enough to get it onto the list.


    And it should be noted that while Yane is a fantastic person... she obviously can't tell the difference between crappy PSX graphics and less crappy PS2 graphics. The picture she posted is from twisted metal black, not twisted metal 2. :p

    Silent Hill, one of the first games I played on my PS1 (a rental.) Freaky as ****, even though I only ever made it to the hospital. Really really creepy game.

    Fallout 2, disappointing for it to be this low. Any game that lets you sledgehammer your enemies in the groin, or shoot them in the eyes with a minigun, should be higher :p Not to mention it was a great RPG, with interesting mechanics and skills and a decent storyline. I really liked the branching epilogues.

    Settlers II, cute game, too complicated for my liking (stupid road system :p).

    Soul Calibur III, nice fighting game but I still prefer Tekken.

    Empire at War is the only one I've played, but the sheer insanity of large-scale space battle is a load of fun.

    SimCity 4 wasn't as widely played as the others though, I think. I imagine 1 and 2K will be a bit higher (dunno about 3 though that was my favourite.)
