Greetings fellow gamers.

As part of the VGG Czar goals project, I am giving away 200 to you for ranking video games. Our goal is to get at least one entry to over 900 rankings. I am sure you have played a lot of these games so, please take some time to rank them!


Contest rules

Rank video games in the first 25 entries on the list and then thumb the ones you ranked.
At the end of the contest I will randomly choose a winner for each game and they will win 8 . The winner must have ranked the game to win the prize.

EDIT

The prize for thumbing the thread has been removed by site moderators. Due to the rules of GG contests, I am unable to give away prizes based on the thumbing of the thread itself. While I had hoped that I could finish the contest and fulfill that promise, I am unable to do that at this point. My apologies to contestants who were hoping to win that prize.

Contest ends Saturday March 3rd.



While you are doing it, you may consider entering your collection and ranking those games as well.

Thank you and enjoy!

One of the best stories for a CRPG. This game should have been emulated more than it was.

I actually really like what I've seen of 4 so far, but it has a weird effect on me, that being that I have such a strong sense of the character I'm playing I feel really bad going out and just running over pedestrians and smashing things. It's a testament to their ability to immerse me into that role, but at the same time it makes me want to assume restrictions on my mode of play that I just KNOW will be fun. It's very bizarre.

Yeah. I only played 4 for about an hour, and I put it down and won't be back. I saw 3 as a great satire of society, but 4 was just too...realistic. It might do a better job of analyzing the criminal mind, but that's not what I want when I play games. In 3, I could run semi-pixelated people over and no one really cared or reacted, so I could appreciate that side of things without feeling like it actually modeled real life in anything more than a bombastic, superficial manner. I ran over someone in 4 and other pedestrians ran over and started crying. That's not fun, to me.

It's hard to write this without sounding like I'm validating Jack Thompson, but I guess what I don't like is that it seems like 4 takes itself more seriously. When people die in 80s action movies, it's funny because it's so over the top and poorly acted. When people die in war movies, it's tragic because it's very serious and at least somewhat relateable (we probably all know someone who's been in war before). The end result is the same (a lot of people die), but the aim seems different. Hence, I can enjoy 3, and 4 makes me ill.

Well, that's the trap I suppose - you have to treat 4 differently, but if you're going in expecting mass uncivilized mayhem with few consequences, you'll not get that at all. I think the biggest problem with the whole thing is making it a GTA game. The name evokes that chaos of faceless slaughter and mass destruction, and 4 doesn't want you to get that. I think it can be fun to follow the story though, and the characters are quite well developed (especially considering they're developed at all compared to past GTA games). Personally, I can't wait to see that through to the end. Of course, if that's not what you're in it for, then I can see how the game would be hard to play, but when I drive I go out of my way to be careful of people and even obey traffic laws.

Out of curiousity, have you ever watched Godfather, or the Sopranos (or had any interest in them)? Just wondering if you have no interest in those kinds of mob dramas, in which case that would probably be another point against GTA4.

That's a really good point - other than the GTA name, I suppose the game wasn't actually pushing me toward mayhem. Contrast that with, say, Prototype, a game that literally made me feel physically ill with the way it basically forced me to treat human life (if you haven't played it, you have to find people, usually pedestrians, and "devour" them in order to replenish life...it's very graphic). I hadn't thought of that; I think if I gave 4 another shot and treated it like the other side of L.A. Noire, I'd probably like it more. (Probably moot, though; even if I was still playing single-player games with any regularity, my wife has asked me to not bring either GTA4 or the original Doom into the house. If those are the only two games that bother her, I can respect that, and I don't want to push it.)

I saw the first Godfather - I thought it was good, not great (and that Goodfellas was both more entertaining and better made). I saw 3 or 4 episodes of The Sopranos and thought it was OK, but it didn't grab me. I wouldn't say I have no interest in mob stuff, but I don't seek it out either.

I REALLY need to finish this. I would've loved to play this for this month, but I don't think I would've had the time to finish it. I don't think I'm going to get to finish more than one long-form game except Alan Wake this month.

I have an emotional attachment to this game, so my ranking is a little inflated.

When my husband and I were first dating we were to broke to really go anywhere, so we would just play Halo together and got to know each other over the panicked cries of Covenant minions with plasma grenades stuck to them.

This one didn't fare well with me, as I could not help but compare it (unfavourably) to its 2D predecessors. The world felt lifeless and unengaging. Maybe it was just an uninspired start area, as I never got further than that.

IANAAdmin, but I'm pretty sure the policy is that you can't have contests that require you to thumb the list itself, and the reason is to keep people from spamming the front page. I don't think they care about thumbing items within lists.

That would be correct.

Honestly, that was my intent. This contest is specifically designed to get people interested, visiting and contributing to the VGG. Getting it up in people's view is critical for that.

It was also a way to give someone a grand prize. If I have future contests, I will plan to do that with a first item on the list for that purpose only. I would do it now, but I don't think that would be fair to all of the poeple who already came to this list, contributed and probably won't be back.

In other news, I enabled people's ability to add games to the list that they want to see rated.

Contest is all wrapped up.

Thank you all for your contributions. I am sorry that not everyone could win, but in the end, the VGG community and site are winning.

Great effort everyone. I hope it was fun for you too!
