Best Game World Cup 2009 (Updated! Now with Matchup's)

[Grace]

also, i would really like it if one of you took the time to actually vote...

[John]

Seriously this is the most biased pairing i have ever seen. SmaXa you have obviously paired games in this pattern:
One of SmaXa's fav games, yay
vs
A bunch of games grouped together so noone will vote for them, muhaha

It's not all like that, he has just paired up similar games (both genre-wise and fame-wise) with each other. It's quite a good thing imo, if you have played one of the games there's a great chance you've played the other one as well. This means the risk of good and less famous games falling off the game early will decrease. Now people can make a proper decision easier instead of voting the only game of the two that they have actually played.

[FinMan]

Runescape

rofl

[Zweq]

Warcraft, Starcraft are both there, c&c i was going to put in but didn't.

no they aren't and wow is an mmo. There is basically none of the classic RTS' from the 90's and that's only one of the many problems in this ... but fine let's do it your way, we can always make a new round anyway.




Legend of Zelda* series vs. Mario Series
Tetris vs. Pacman
Civilisation series vs. Age of Empires series.
Counterstrike vs. Half-life (1 and 2)


Zoo Tycoon games vs. Rollercoaster tycoon games.
Duke Nukem 3D vs. Doom series.
Quake 3 Arena vs. Unreal Tournament games.
Scorched Earth vs. Worms


Fallout series vs. Farcry series.
donkey kong Series vs. Bomberman

if it's against the rules to vote only some of them, sry, but I don't want to vote on pairs I don't know anything about

[Xiphias]

wtf.. counterstrike vs halflife? .. counterstrike is like Halflife xD

that's like saying Dota vs Warcraft 3 =/

[roope]

Ye, Counterstrike = Half-Life. Espesially when you say that Portal is excluded, it makes you assume that all other mods are included. Actually quite stupid to say that Portal is excluded, as it's just another game by the same maker.

why is portal twice there?

Because portal is still one of the best games ever made, even when you play it for the second time.

[Chris]

Fallout series vs. Farcry series

What Have you ever played Fallout 1 or 2. You can somehow compare Farcry and Fallout 3, but comparing to Fallout series is totally ridiculous.
I would have put Fallout vs Baldur's Gate..

[Zweq]

there are so many odd pairs, wonder how fallout series and farcry fit together. maybe fallout vs jagged alliance or baldurs gate or arcanum. like xarthok said, cod vs moh.

or diablo2 vs dungeon siege. Mafia vs GTA. Little big adventure vs monkey island. max payne vs f.e.a.r. the list goes on, maybe for future use :K

[Grace]

Lol, i just realised what the Starcraft and Warcraft problem is, i had them both there (against each other) in my draft but missed the last line of text from my notepad file when copying into here...

One thing i find stupid in this world cup: It is a best game world cup, not best series. How can one game compete against a whole serie? For example, Dead Space is better than a few Resident Evils, but not all. Same goes for Tony Hawk games. The first 2-3 games were insanely good, but the latest weren't so good, if not bad. Same for megaman, some gorgeous games, some pitiful. It just doesn't seem right, or fair to do the cup this way.

Oh and yeah, i see Bomberman and Bomberman series in two seperate iterations, is that a problem?

[Jalli]

I still vote for The Longest Journey...

[Grace]
