All I can say is: What the hell were they thinking pitting JK2 against HL in the first round?! Geez, get some decent competition if we're talking about Half-Life! Like.. Doom or Q3 or UT or something. I was also very disappointed that TIE Fighter lost to GoldenEye..

I was also quite disappointed to see System Shock 2 lose so easily to Deus Ex.

And finally, all I can say is: How in the heck did Super Mario Brothers 3 beat out DOOM? Albeit, it was only by a tenth of a percent, but still..

Here's the link, for those of you who want to check out the results, thanks to DSettahr: http://www.gamespy.com/titlefight/brackets.shtml

I want to know why JK2 was voted into the competition and the original JK was not.

Because SMB3 is just outright better than Doom.

I think SMB3 shoudl have beaten out Half-Life, just because SMB3 is, like, that cool. But I also think it was good that Goldeneye won a bit too, among other things.

It's funny really, when people see lists written up by gaming magazines and websites, they'll obviously cringe at some of the choices.

So you think a "people power" one would get it right. But then you see Diablo II as the 3rd/4th best game ever created.

Was it good? ye.. well... it was passable
Was it that[/i] good? hell no

Okay How the **** did Vice City beat Metal Gear Solid?! WTF IS THAT?! Vice City is so boring after a while. MGS has a wayyy better plot and gameplay.


Final Fantasy VII lost to......

Chrono Trigger

wow. That isn't right.

People are stupid to vote for the right games. Even though I like Chrono Trigger, I love FF7 more [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif] Same with MGS...

JK wasn't a hit (hit like Quake (2) or Doom) like JK2 unfortunately was (not a hit like Quake (2) or Doom, "hit" however [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif] ).

I was pleased to see Ocarina of Time go as far as it did. But I would have liked to seen it go farther.

Yes, but JK2 was only a hit because of JK. The hype about simply having another game in the DF/JK series was enough to drive the sales of JK2 upwards.
