Let's do this

I don't mind taking the reigns on this one! If anyone wishes to help out by doing some counting that would be awesome! Blurbs will also be needed at some point. I'll let you know when I'll be compiling the list of those who wishes to do each blurb

One rule I do want to implement is that votes from people with a post count under 50 won't be accepted. I feel it's best to stop people duplicating votes by creating extra accounts etc.

Voting is the same as the 'Top 100' small screen polls that are going. List your top 20

First choice = 20 points
Second choice = 19 points

and so on.

And this is for all consoles past and present.

Happy voting

Just to add, i'll be closing voting on June 30th. And if you want to make any changes can you edit the original post and PM that you have changed it. Cheers!

And here is my list!

1.Gears Of War 2 (20 points)
2. Sonic The Hedgehog
3. Red Dead Redemption
4. Grand Theft Auto Vice City
5. Goldeneye
6. Arkham Asylum
7. Mass Effect 2
8. Dead Space
9. Gears Of War
10. Mario 64
11. Left for Dead 2
12. Road Rash
13. Grand Theft auto 4
14. Enter The Matrix
15. FIFA
16. Sonic 3
17. Mario Cart 64
18. Killer Instinct
19. Super Marios Bros
20. Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare

Can we vote for Football Manager as a series? Because it's pretty futile trying to pick best one.

I know a few of you will probably think I'm mentally retarded including TFU II, but although it was ridiculously short, the game play and story were superb, IMO. I think Mafia II is underrated too. An absolutely brilliant story.

I did that with FIFA. If it's not acceptable, then, well... I'll have to think of something else...

fifa/pro evo/football manager etc all fine as one entry. Things like Call of Duty I'd say are to be classed as separate though

I'd say Street Fighter is ok as seperate editions, same for most fighting games. Mainly due to new settings/characters etc. Games like FIFA are essentially just a tweak on the same game which is why they are better grouped.

Sound ok?

Also could a mod sticky this?

Great idea Joedini, thanks for sorting this out.

Here goes!

1) Halo Combat Evolved
2) Half Life 2
3) Syndicate
4) Banjo Tooie
5) Lemmings
6) Super Mario Kart
7) Star Wars KOTOR
8) Captive
9) Perfect Dark
10) Elder Scrolls Oblivion
11) Knight Lore
12) Rainbow Islands
13) X-Wing Alliance
14) Project Gotham Racing 2
15) Viva Pinata Trouble In Paradise
16) Elite
17) Conker's Bad Fur Day
18) Gods
19) Portal
20) Grim Fandango

Tricky to decide and will probably change tomorrow, but these are the games that I go back and play and enjoy. Thought about games like Little Big Planet and Ico but recently replayed them and just couldn't get into them again. As for Halo on the top spot, well I played that non stop for at least 2 years and the multiplayer kept me and my buddies off the streets for many a drunken night. GoldenEye almost usurped Perfect Dark, but still prefer the multiplayer in the latter and the games are too similar to have two spots. Resi Evil 4 almost made it too but Dr Salvador has a special place of hatred in my heart and thumbs.

Edit: remembered via a drunken conversation that I played Elite for nigh on 2 years non stop back in the day, so goodbye Speedball 2 (I only ever liked the Player Manager bit as was unbelievable crap at the main game),
