I stopped caring about this contest when Final Fantasy mainstays lost to Halo and Gears of War characters. So disheartening.
Also this Launchpad/Einstein/Dogmeat business is absolutely ridiculous, as is Epona beating Cube (yeah I haven't played either Portal game, but I would actually vote for both of them if they were against any game that Epona is in because I'm not such a huge fan of OOT, MM, or TP - the only top tier Zelda games to me are LTTP and WW).
None of Gamespot's prior contests was this stupid. I mean take a look at this:
Hero contest - Samus gets to the final four by beating more "mainstream" characters, and we get a worthy winner.
Villains contest - Kefka losing to Sweet Tooth and General RAAM's run was pretty stupid, but my current playthrough of StarCraft is telling me that the voters chose an excellent winner.
This contest - Luigi and Yoshi are both already out, whoopeedo. What an awful contest.
