How the Game Awards polls are shaping up

tman · 2004-12-28 19:22:49

thought you guys might want a quick glimpse at what games you can expect to see in the polls (i'll be creating them within the next few hours... or possibly tomorrow if this beer doesn't stop pouring itself down my throat) i've been trying to keep the nominees between 4 and 5. Gamecube GOTY mp2:e Pikmin 2 Animal Crossing…

Can't you include the disgraceful FFX-2 in the most disappointing game of the year section unless it got less votes than I thought. However it will probably get swamped by the others in the list and the steam haters.

it only got 2 votes, so would have been vying for a place along with 4 others.
it was easier for me to just choose the games that got 3 votes and over
(i was pretty damn tempted to lump crystal chronicals and X-2 together in an effort to get them in the poll)
