This is the field that we've come up with based on the replies we got here, on MM, and through staff discussion. Oh, and before anyone wants to know why MLB 08: The Show isn't on there, we decided a game must have been out for more than a couple of days in order to be considered.

Never even saw that thread. Oh well, no biggie, but having Forza 2 over one of the most revolutionary racing games of all time is a bit of a travesity.

I would also figure out which Fire Pro you are using for that, since you aren't using Madden, High Heat series for any other game, it shouldn't be used for Fire Pro either

EDIT - and Gran Turismo was mentioned twice in those 26 posts It would probably be knocked out in the first round anyway..LOL

Right. I was basically just pointing out that you, personally, don't have a right to bitch.

LOL! I'll remember that when you complain about MLB2K8 again...oops, nevermind

Anyway, pick one, since it's been released oh, about 30 times.

a couple of quick points ...

- Like i said there was over 100 games nominated. A lot of the decisions to cut games to 64 were tough (some weren't lol).

- If you feel like a game was over looked, remember that for next year.

- Somebody is bound to bring up The Show 08. After some debate we decided not to include it this time around, simply because as good as it may be, its tough to tell if its truly great being out only a week. If it lives up to its early buzz, it'll be on the list next year.

- We had two Fire Pro Wrestlings nominated - regular Fire Pro and Fire Pro Returns. I have no problem changing it to Returns if folks think it was a better game and makes it easier to figure out what you're voting for. Just lemme know in this thread those that care. If there's a concensus i'll change it.

Well, there is no actual game called Fire Pro Wrestling that I know of, they all have something after the name, like Fire Pro Wrestling X, Returns, etc.

I don't care which you use, but you should pick one since it's a long running series like Madden, Tiger Woods, NHL, etc.

I agree with you guys on The Show 08, no way it belongs in this year's tournament.

Other than Gran Turismo's omission, it's a great list. I can see the Lakers/Celtics and Bulls/Blazers argument since they were basically the same game, but Bulls/Blazers improved every facet of it.
