Notes:
- I opted not to pick portable games because of how they conflict with this generation. It seems like a big problem until you realize that you’re really just sidelining Pokemon which doesn’t have a great chance to go far in this bracket anyway. Newer Pokemon games have never done all that well. Please don't get into a big argument about this!
- If you held this when the console generation actually ends, you could have a much stronger field – Diablo 3, Bioshock Infinite, FF13-2, Mass Effect 3, maybe Assassin's Creed 3, etc etc.
I could get behind such a contest. I’m not sure who wins, let alone some of the stickier midcard matchups.
