Contra wins

I’m going with ABNorman for Ocarina of Time and DOOM for the old shit and Portal 2 for the new ish shit. I know I played Psychonauts before too but I can’t remember what it was about, I never actually had that game.

Joey’s first two picks take this one for me. Doom was also a game changer.

[Anders]

Not overly familiar with ABNorman's list. Of course, Doom and Portal 2. Durden gets the vote with Resident Evil, Star Wars, Madden.

I struggled with ABNorman's team in the first round, too, because Deus Ex is one of my all-time favorites but the rest of the team doesn't do much for me. This is an easier choice, though, because of what I said about Joey's team in the first round: it's got a running theme that makes it a "team" like other teams in the tournament don't have, so I don't feel like I'm just adding up point. However, I worry about how it'll fare against teams that have more of my favs on it, but I will vote for Joey.

ABNorman's team is so strong. He has impeccable taste. I think I'll have to check out the 3 games I haven't played from his list: Psychonauts, Dungeon Keeper, and Subnautica.

Congrats ABN!

You've got a stellar team, my friend. Best of luck in the rest of the tourney.

And thank you, MD for running this thing. It's been a blast. The looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
