Notes:

* Each game mentioned scores 1 points, up to five listed. If you mentioned more than five without an order of preference, I ignored all of your nominations.
* If a series was nominated, I assumed your vote was for the latest version (i.e. PES = PES 2008).
* All Orange Box games were lumped into one nomination.

1. Burning Crusade
2. Bioshock
3. Metal Gear Solid 4
4. The Darkness

If PC games don't count, knock BC off, push all games up one and add CoD4 to fifth.

I'm quite amazed Mario Galaxy isn't getting many votes. Either it's just outside of everyone's top five (as it is for me) or the audience on OCUK isn't that large enough.

Maybe voting should be done by counting how many votes a certain game got in its place, i.e. the game with the most votes in first place is first place, if you know what I mean?

Shamikebab · 14 Jul 2008 at 19:58

yeah, say 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points to keep it simple.

Personally, it doesn't even come close to my top 5. But then I've never liked any of the 3D Mario games as they lack the instant gratification of their 2D cousins.

Most people didn't order their nominations so that wasn't possible. It would probably change the results quite dramatically though.
