Kleenex’s Analysis

This is a tough one. On paper, 2010 looks great. Galaxy 2, RDR, Mass Effect 2, God of War 3. These are some goddamn video games. But, they aren't necessarily video games that this website tends to take a liking too. And even Galaxy 2 couldn't beat the original Mass Effect last time around. There weren't even any God of War games in the last contest!

2002 doesn't exactly inspire confidence either, but at least Metroid Prime and Kingdom Hearts have some results behind them (although KH1's loss to FF9 last contest is worrisome). I don't really think the likes of Morrowind, GTA3 and Warcraft 3 add a whole lot to the equation. Also hey, Mario Sunshine came out this year too. It's not even listed on the blub! I wonder if that's to protect 2002 from its negative influence.

At the end of the day, I think I'm going to trust the year that has at least one game we know is worthwhile, and that's 2002. This is one of the few matches this round I could see going either way, however, so I won't be shocked if 2010 manages to win the honor of getting crushed by 1991 next round.

Kleenex's Prediction: 2002 with 56%



Guest’s Analysis - whatisurnameplz

Yet another blowout. If this match was on any other site, I have a feeling it would be at least debatable; 2010 was a great year for gaming, with Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Starcraft II, etc.

2002 has some decent depth but doesn’t have a really strong “anchor” game. Thankfully for it, 2010 doesn’t have a strong anchor either, so 2002 should easily be able to break 70 here.

2002 – 76%



Crew Consensus: 2002 ftw
