Finals of the Video Game Draft Tournament!

I didn't play only because the method of draft seemed awfully cluttered and I didn't feel like keeping up. I'd probably be more interested if it was organized a bit better and less picks would help.

I think that the drafting was the most fun part of this whole thing. Building up a hugh list, racing to pick the game you want, re-adjusting after others steal your future pics. Much more fun (and faster) than if we just drafted one after another.

I agree, the daily drafting was the most fun.

Individual matchups:
1. Call of Duty 4 (Xbox 360)
vs.
3. Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360)
4 is greater than 2, so Vryce gets +1 MP
2. Legend of Zelda (NES)
vs.
1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
I played the Legend of Zelda (NES) recently, and the graphics suck, so +1 Zelda points to Jeremy
3. Final Fantasy II (SNES)
vs.
2. Final Fantasy III (SNES)
Both of theses games are numbered incorrectly, so they both lose a star.
4. Ico (PS2)
vs.
4. Pac-Man Championship Edition (Xbox 360)
Ico is a person, Pac-Man is a creature who can be killed by colored ghosts. Man > creatures. +2 points for Vryce
5. Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
vs.
5. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)
I can not in good conscience give any points to a game that encourages thievery. Vryce gets a 10% boost for this pick.
7. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)
vs.
8. New Super Mario Bros (DS)
Yoshi's Island is not respectful to Mario in that it shows him in diapers. Also, anything with New in the title automatically gets my vote for best Mario game released on a system w/ 2 screens.
6. Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)
vs.
7. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)
This is tough as both games are played with controllers that have motion sensing abilities. However, everyone knows Metroid prime is not a FPS, but rather a FPA, so it loses. A+ to Vryce.
8. Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)
vs.
9. Battletoads (NES)
Both games feature animals doing things they should not normally due. Battletoads is more violent, so Jeremy gets +5 HP for this pick.
9. Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS)
vs.
6. Guitar Hero 2 (PS2)
I don't even know why these two are matched up, but I would much rather be a fake musician than a fake tenant. + 3 star power to Jeremy.
10. Loco Roco (PSP)
vs.
10. Gran Turismo 2 (Playstation)
Loco Roco is racist, so it loses this round. 3 stars for Jeremy.
The winner: Vryce

Re: Finals of the Video Game Draft Tournament!
I don't care too much these two lists. The game I like more from there is Gears of War 2...
But to make the voting more interesting I'll vote Vryce.
Maybe we can have another tie.

Jeremy. GH2 and Gran Turismo 2 are two of my most favorite games of all time so even though his list is weaker than Vryce's overall, he gets my vote.

Re: Finals of the Video Game Draft Tournament!
Another close one, but I think the best games in Vryce's list:
2. Legend of Zelda (NES)
3. Final Fantasy II (SNES)
4. Ico (PS2)
5. Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
7. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)
beat the best games in Jeremy's list:
1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
2. Final Fantasy III (SNES)
My vote goes to Vryce, but both lists are quite good and it's a tough call.

Re: Finals of the Video Game Draft Tournament!
I win under protest..

I'm tossing out Blue's vote. his/her voting never made any sense at all.
And I'm counting Mordred's vote for me since he basically said my list was better..

Therefore I win by 1 vote..
