The gameplay is overall sound though but I would favor CoD 4 over the later installments because CoD 4 was the only one of there modern shooters where it was possible to fail. | ||

I really think picking genres is a poor way to do it. Let the games stand on their own, and if the top 5 are all Mario and Zelda then so be it. | ||

That may be sort of the case, but CoD1+2 at least were good and 'actual' full games that spanned more than 5hrs in total. Every CoD since MW2 and BLOPS has been boring and done little to nothing to improve or innovate upon the previous experiences. | ||

Fix the racing and sports brackets. Excitebike over forza. How do you not list forza really? gran tourismo vs mario kart in the second round. lol doesn't even make sense Mario kart and gran tourismo are two of the top games there. Under sports no Madden? no wii sports? Classics? -Pong, freecell, Maijong? Action- Prince of Persia? The movie sucked but the video game was fun. Also, like Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 listed but not three. I thought three was better than both 1 and 2. In fact 3 is my favorite of the series. | ||

I'd actually say just end it with a top rankings, but a tournament can be fun so why not. But, series shouldn't be limited, and to be honest, video game genres are incredibly subjective and trying to push a certain game into a certain genre can be tricky. It's simply better to say "I like Super Mario Bros 3. better than Mega Man 2 and Braid" then trying to actually figure out of MM2 and Braid are actually platformers in the first place. AND, picking the genres you use is also absurdly subjective. "Stealth genre" ok, that's a bit of a stretch. But you know what genre tends to be definitive and you overlooked? Shmups. I really think picking genres is a poor way to do it. Let the games stand on their own, and if the top 5 are all Mario and Zelda then so be it. If you have a tourney, it should be segmented into genres, that way games with similar experiences compete with eachother. I would never want Ultima IV to be competing with say, Quake III, as they are entirely different animals (and two games I enjoyed a lot). Edit, if you then wanted to for fun put the winners of each bracket into a tourney, then that could be fun and interesting, but then the top 16 or 32 (or whatever appropriate number) that made it into the brackets would actually mean something. | ||
