I choose Anders. I prefer games and the person.

Re: First Round: Anders vs. ThePlatypus
Thank you. At least it's been fairly even on the written vote.

Re: First Round: Anders vs. ThePlatypus
Anders
1. The Last of Us (PS3)
This is my favorite game of the decade. The multiplayer is criminally underrated. I sunk more time into that than any other online game of the past 10 years.
2. Super Mario Kart (SNES)
Fun at the time, but ever sequel has been better.
3. Halo 3 (Xbox360)
The best Halo. Not my favorite series, but the Metroid Prime influence is felt.
4. Sid Meier's Pirates (Commodore 64)
5. Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
Really, really fun Mario game. A nice return to the big 3D "open" worlds. Perfect on the Switch. The cap mechanic always kept things fresh.
6. Gran Turismo 2 (PS2)
7. Bloodborne (PS4)
My third favorite game of the decade. A steal this late in the draft.
8. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (Xbox One)
I've stated it several times, but I just can't get into this one. Excellent story, side quests, and characters, but the gameplay is mostly a clunky mess.
9. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
Very solid Zelda game. I actually prefer it to Ocarina.
10. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA)
ThePlatypus
1. Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
Fun game, but not worthy of a first round pick.
2. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (PS1)
Now you're talking. This series is a prime example of one that would likely still be around if they didn't release one every year.
3. GTA V (PS3, XBox360)
Best GTA game, but it hasn't really stuck with me. Tons of things to do in the open world. Online is really fun too with the right group of people. I really like the variety of races.
4. Mega Man X (SNES)
5. Injustice 2 (PS4)
6. Yoshi's Island (SNES)
Prefer this to Super Mario World. This is definitely a Yoshi game.
7. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (GBA)
8. Super Mario Maker (Wii U)
infinite replay value. Prefer it to most of the New Super Mario Bros. series. Desperate for a Switch version.
9. Batman: Arkham City (PS3)
Best Batman game.
10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (SNES)
I can't even count the number of times my buddy and I beat this. Great beat em up.
This a tough matchup. Jorge has a lot of doubles and triples, but Anders has several home run picks (Last of Us, Odyssey, Bloodborne) that put him over the top.
Anders gets my vote.

I was going to take Bloodborne before I decided to only take games I had experience with. I've never played Bloodborne but it looks amazing.
