I first wanted to sort all games for this round by metacritic score, but it really didn't make sense, since all of them fall in the 85-90 rating. It would have been the same as a random sorting. So I switched up plans some minutes ago and made a sorting based by publisher (kinda). I could easily group the American publishers, but I had to do some randomization to figure out which Japanese ones I put together. Hope it makes for an interesting round.

Tagging lists will be coming later, back to my daytime job for now.

@CthulhuFhtagn Both games ending up in second place was a sad sight to be sure.

2) Resident Evil 2 (PS1)

May PT be blessed with a litany of votes. There’s definitely a part of me that feels it’s the GOAT.

My votes for 2.4.

1. Pong
2. Streets of Rage 2
3. Silent Hill 3
4. SSX3
5. Steins;Gate
6. Paper Mario

2. Streets of Rage 2
3. Pro Evo Soccer 2
4. SSX 3
5. Parasite eve 2
6. Super Mario 64

ROUND 2.4 (the penultimate, now sorted by publisher)

1 - Soul Calibur 2 (PS2)
3 - PT (PS4)
4 - SSX3 (PS2)
5 - Ratchet & Clank (PS2)
6 - Paper Mario & The Thousand-Year Door (NGC)

@somnambulance I agree. I could live with PT winning this whole poll.

Even less for me on these ones

List 2 - Resident Evil 2 (PS1)

Not sure anything I've voted for has gone through yet either 😄

List 1 Pong
List 2 Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
List 3 PT
List 4 Spyro The Dragon
List 5 Nothing for me
List 6 Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire
That last list was a difficult one for me, Ruby and Firered are my favourites from the series but I'm going with Ruby as it was my first and that always going to be hard to beat.

Round 2.4

List 1: Pong
List 3: PT
List 4: Spider-Man 2
List 5: Ratchet & Clank

List 4: Nope
List 5: Nope

Yikes, this is easily the least I've been able to vote for in a round. So much I've never played, especially with the heavy Nintendo presence and the fact that there are so many ancient games this time around. Oh well.
