  1. 4 of the top ten are Final Fantasy? by Gr8Apes · · Score: 4, Funny
    What was the question worded like?
    • Finally, what was your favorite fantasy game of all time? (Don't forget to add which sequel if your answer is "Final Fantasy"!)

      >>Now just because something is a sequel doesn't mean it can't be innovative (see the Zelda series) - it's just in Final Fantasy's case, they weren't innovative and just more of the same.

      I would describe Zelda as being "more of the same" before Final Fantasy. At least Final Fantasy has a story with unique charactors. Zelda doesn't even [i]try[/i] (for the most part, though Ocarina did have a cool storyline) to have a unique story or well-made charactors.

      That's because the point of Zelda is to ignore the clicheed story and enjoy the gameplay while the point of Final Fantasy is to ignore the clicheed gameplay and enjoy the (equally clicheed) story.

  2. No Katamari Damacy? by RobertB-DC · · Score: 5, Funny

    No Katamari listed in the top 100 Japanese games? Outrageous! We are most displeased!

    Where was cousin Ace? Playing Animal Crossing (#43)?
    We have no idea what you are talking about.

    Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.
