Author Topic: Help HL2 beat WoW for title of best game of the decade.  (Read 2119 times)

WoW has 2 votes more. D:

WoW is better than HL2.

What is crispygamer and why do we care what a poll on their site says about the "best video game of the decade"?


For being an overrated piece of stuff.

Halo: CE won 1st place
Only because one guy casted over 2000 votes lol

The fact that half life 2 beat fallout 3 and a halo title made it to the final four is reason enough to not trust this poll.

How so? It's better than both of them.


Maybe for Fallout 3, but not Halo.

I have played both games, I like HL2 better.

The issue with a tournament style-poll is that it doesn't work well.

A better system is to have a large poll of every title in the tournament. Each voter ranks each title from 1 to n(number of games)(1 is best, n is worst) without repeating a number. These votes are inverted (n-x where x is the vote number) and added up, the title with the highest number wins.

If you're set on elimination, eliminate the lowest scorer every X amount of time and allow everyone to replace their votes. It will still go down to a championship round, except that each game has an equal chance of making it (instead of, say, WoW being paired up with games that obviously weren't going to get far regardless of who they were matched with early on)

In the meantime, I'll steer clear of this KFC-add infected site.
