GameFAQs' Own 'Best. Game. Ever.' Contest Launched

XtremeLeader writes "Just days after GameSpy releases its Best All-Time Game competition, GameFAQs answers with a much more interactive Spring 2004 Contest to vote for the best games (you need a GameFAQs account to view the page). Unlike the GameSpy awards, however, this is completely gamer controlled. It begins by a registered user submitting their choices for favorite games (one per system, with more than a few systems), of which any game you want can be nominated. Voting ends at the beginning of March, and the polls are slated to begin late March/early April. The top 64 nominations will be accepted and placed into a series of polls that we get to vote on. Hopefully, this one doesn't have great games like Chrono Trigger thrown into the potpourri category."

    that shit FPS games like Quake 3 or Unreal Tournament 2003 will win despite being nothing new or great.

  2. X-COM? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    X Com? Isn't that a network card?

    They can't come up with original names for games. It is like when Sony decided to copy the PS2 name from IBM when they made their current game console. "We'll use this old IBM product name. No one has heard of IBM; we can get away with it."

  3. Chrono Trigger, the potpourri category? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why not put it in "crapper category" where it belongs?

  4. Too bad not many people had a Saturn... by Stormwatch · · Score: 0, Troll

    Many awesome Saturn games, such as NiGHTS: into dreams, Radiant Silvergun, and the Panzer Dragoon series, have little chance, because most people don't know them - back in the day, they were playing turds like Trash Bandipoop on their PlayStinkys...
