    • RE: The EZA Community Top 20 Best of 2009!

      I feel the same about New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I think it's the only 2D Mario I've never played, and I have absolutely no desire to do so. It really strikes me as having no personality, no "theme", indeed no soul.

      I'm sure it's still extremely competent as a platformer, but it just feels... skippable.

      So I figured out what happened, but not how it happened. I distinctly remember noticing two different lines in my Excel for Mario, each had 3 points, and I thought oh weird, let me merge them.

      Now checking @Phbz votes again, it looks like I didn't register his Cursed Mountain vote anywhere. Same for @Sheria. So that's what the extra 3 points were. Somehow the line for Cursed Mountain got renamed to Mario in my file, and when I saw that I merged the two Mario lines.

      Long story short, Mario only earned 3 points and doesn't belong here. I'll post the real #20 tomorrow, I have to sleep now. Sorry for the false start!

      @phbz Shit I completely messed up. I'll change it up when I have some time, Mario didn't make it y'all, my bad!

    • The EZA Community Top 20 Best of 2009!

      2009 was not the most exciting year. It had, like all years, a few classics but it also had a LOT of filler trash. It was also the peak of music games, and arguably the beginning of their end.

      The Wii was coasting, the PS3 was starting to find its legs, the 360 was diversifying, the DS was still around... That's a lot of games across a wild variety of genres, resulting in 75 games nominated, from only 32 participants!

      This spread means that not enough games scored high enough to warrant a place in the list, and therefore we can only put together a Top 20.

      Let's #checkalook!

      It seems like a mix of different things.

      Some of the people who always participate didn't this time, maybe because we're going too far in the past and it gets harder to remember how much you liked one game over an other? I know I struggled with that too.

      But 2010 was one of our record years in terms of participation so it might just be loss of interest like you said.

      It's also a bit unlucky: with the current amount of voters we could have ended up with a top 25 if the votes were spread differently, but this ended up being a very "top-heavy" year where a small group of games got a lot of points, leaving only crumbs to the rest, that's why we've got tons of games at 5 points or less. That's just the nature of the game and means extra praise for the games that made it.

      I'm sure when we do 2020 it'll bounce back :)

      No new votes at all the entire week, I think it's safe to say we won't get any more.

      I'll officially end the votes on Sunday 23rd to give some one final chance to participate, and start revealing the top 20 on Monday.

    • RE: Resident Evil Village (PS5/XSX/PC/PS4/XBO)

      @scotty There will be a graphical downgrade but I don't expect any other issues. It's not an open-world game that requires a lot of memory and interacting systems. It's actually a very basic game when you boil it down. If RE VII could run well, this one should too.
