"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

FS in the "Extra Life Section?" What's with that?

BTW The first place of TA is more justifiable if you take a look at its Modding community. Absolute Anihilation for instance completely changed the feel of the game - and there are terrible AIs to plug in that beat the crap out of you in 9/10 ocassions.

The only game on that list that deserves to win is System Shock 2. All others pale by comparison.

CastleVania was a heavyweight Nintendo franchise in the days of the NES, but now lags behind the likes of Metroid and Zelda. The heroes of the various games are usually sucessive generations of the Belmont family who kick vampire arse with bullwhips and crossbows and whatnot. The originals were 2D jump-and-whip-stuff platformers but the modern versions are pretty decent 3D adventures from what I hear

System Shock 2 > Freespace 1 & 2 combined, any day of the week. Its a masterpiece of gaming that won more awards, both critical and popular than both of the Freespaces combined.

I would argue, btw, that Castlevania was never a 'nintendo franchise'. Whereas it was indeed on the nintendo, it was a Konami franchise. Zelda and Metroid, by comparison are Nintendo franchises.

I liked System Shock 2, but I'm going to break my consensus from System Shock 2 because of two things: 1.) Deus Ex, made by Warren Spector and much of the System Shock 2 team, is already in the tournament and already represents an evolution of the System Shock 2 design, and 2.) Freespace 2 hasn't had a chance yet. While I was sad to see System Shock 2 lose, it has already gone head to head with its predecessor and been dropped.
