Board 8 > ~*~ Best Playstation 2 Game Ever - Nominations ~*~

(+) Yeah! (+)

Seeing transience's DS game contest has inspired me to run a contest on one of the greatest consoles of our generation. Now I've been told that a similar contest was run a couple of years ago, but I believe that was just a straight knockout, whereas this will not be, and I'd also like to see how things have changed.

This contest will be run using different formatted rounds to keep things interesting. The first round will start off as a division based round similar to that of Uoty. How many divisions and how many qualifiers from each group will be determined on how many nominations i receive and how many i decide to let in.

Rules regarding Nominations
1. You may nominate up to 20 games on your first day of voting.
2. 24 hours after your first vote you can nominate another 5 games, different from any other games you have nominated, and can continue to do so after every 24 hours has passed since your last vote, until nominations end.
3. Nominations will end a week from today.
4. No alts/rallying etc.
5. The game must have been released for the PS2 system (obviously)


Think thats probably it, any questions, please ask.

So multiplatform games are alright? Even if the PS2 version came way later?
