Video Game Draft Playoffs - Rd 2 - Ground-breaking Arcade Games

[SacKings7]

Round 2 begins now. Congrats to all those who advanced. However, you still have a long ways to go to win this thing. We had 2 upsets in the first round. Unfortunately for the higher ranked guys, I'm following a bracket format, so there will be no re-seeding.

Choose who should move on between:

Bump just to let everyone see it on the forums page

That is one tough matchup...

 

[SLAB]

I think PONG should be the trump card.

Grandfather of ALL games.
Of all games on both lists.
Of all games on EVERY list.

In it's prime?
Now thats just a force to be reckoned with.


And don't forget...
"Vote for me!"

 

[SLAB]

Bump to remind this is still open.
Vote for me!

A thrashing... this is what I get for not picking up any Mario, Final Fantasy, or Zelda games... oh well, the big names always sell. At least I stayed true to myself and did not pander for votes. Three cheers for idealists!

Word.

I voted for the other guy because he had Rock Band 2, but truthfully I like your whole list better. But I'm hopelessly addicted to Rock Band.

Sorry!

 

[Jerryaki]

sorry nobonus, you had two things working against you: FFVII was an excellent game, and you picked The Sims: Complete Collection...after one year of working for that franchise, i am ready to kill those gibberish-spouting denizens!

I voted for you.

And if you look in the iPod thread, I am in the same boat there that you are here.....

The "vote for change" thing isn't working in our little island setup.

Right... surely you couldn't pick Final Fantasy or Zelda because you thought they were superior games... That unpossible! It must be that you were following the herd, and just played the games because they were big names.

I stayed true to myself too (I assume everyone did). I happen to be a big fan of the games you listed, FF especially. I didn't pander for any votes, I just picked my favorite games that were still on the board. It's not my fault they happen to be more popular than the ones you chose.

EDIT: I'd just like to add...you already eliminated venom, who had 2 great Zelda games, the original SMB, and FF Tactics

Thanks to everyone who voted! (And thanks for voting for me! ) Also congrats to tradepeja on making it to the semi-finals! The semi-finals will most likely be up tomorrow evening.
