An extension, eh? OK I’m up for that. I genuinely had a few others I was thinking of. If you’re serious then I’m happy with an extension.

Sixteen is good, I've got a few more games, I'd like to draft.

Also, given we're on a wrestling message board, I knew I was gonna draft a wrestling game, so pretty happy with that.

Hooray! I'm looking forward to my next turn when I find that all my potential picks have gone and I weep in regret at asking for an extension.

Ness out here doing a 180 and drafting good games.

EWR man...that is a fantastic pick. I spent so much time playing that when I was 13ish and saw it on an old abandonware site that had it in it's freeware section. I loved pushing the Bashams for some reason. Maybe I just liked the leather...anyways, the new TEW is out soon.

I'm terrified now that Ness is getting serious.

I was trying to figure out that pick too since 3 wasn't the worst one. But I think we misjudged Ness's list. It isn't a worst game list it probably is a fan biggest letdown list. The ending for ME3 let down many fans. That number one pick hurt big Superman fans like AngryJoe. And a lot of games in that list could be seen as let down instead of just bad.

Am I?

If Ness final four cause him to win just remember whose fault it is. It probably be on the one that originally suggested an extension.

:woot:

@nighty

Where is the love for Kirby? I know you gotta get a team together that will win votes, but throw your boy a bone! 

Kirby is on Team Ness.

I like Kirby games.

Wolf among us was very good, cant wait for season two. Good pick @nighty,figured one of the nerdery guys or gals grabs it!

Loved Wolf Among Us, way back when, I bought volume 1 of Fables, read it, and enjoyed it, but not enough to spur me into the series. But after playing Wolf Among Us, I returned to it with a new appreciation for the characters, and then ended buying the whole series, which was phenomenal...though the ending was a bit of a let down.

Got a lot of mileage out of EWR back in the day, but not a thing I could return to, I think. Just no longer the same passion for wrestling as my youth, the rise of real combat in MMA really drew me away from my soap opera for dudes. Didn't help that all the werestlers I cared about were leaving and I didn't so much care for some of the up and comers. Also seemed to become more watered down (at least at the time, not sure about now), as they wanted more family friendly fare. And World Wrestling Federation I could respect, but World Wrestling Entertainment...soft. Though I can still appreciate the physical feats.

Kirby Super Star was an original game, so you are good. Nice pick. 

And Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a masterpiece. Huge steal as far as quality goes, even if it's not going to be popular here. 

OH GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.

THIS IS ALL YOUR GOD DAMNED FAULT CIG BRINGING UP HIS NAME.

I ain't even mad.

Divinity was one of my more risky picks since I never heard it mentioned here, but just went for it. If nothing else maybe someone will see the video, think it looks cool, and give it a try.

I feel like I may really be dropping the ball with my last two picks. Amazing games, but not sure if anyone else has ever played them.

Then Blindy snags Viewtiful Joe to make me feel like a real fucking moron for not choosing it myself.

The game slaps man, it's so much fun. It's not the longest game but the ability to go fast or slow mo is so fun and it can be really challenging on the tougher difficulty, tried to do a run of it on highest difficulty and struggled to even get past the tank

Must play for any PS2 or GC owners. Wish I still had my PS2, would love to play this. 

There has been some excellent shouts, but cig clearly won Round 12. Yoshi's Island remains one of the greatest 2D platformers of all time, bursting with personality and creativity at every section. I love how each level is as easy or as difficult as you make it depending or not if you're going for a completionist ranking and it was such a nice spin on the platforming genre to make each level explorable. It seems to have inspired Mario 64 to that degree, hiding key items through out each level and testing a player's prowess by challenging to collect them all. The bonus levels are no joke either.

There were some excellent pick ups this round, but CIG just won me over big time.

Thanks Pete, for my taste, it'a between this and New Vegas as the steal of the draft...though I am probably a bit biased.

Yoshi's Island is the best Mario game on the SNES (Unless you count Mario All-Stars)

I have no idea what Lionheart's last pick is. Has he swapped roles with Ness in picking bad games?

Jet Set Radio is a cult classic, I was unaware there was a sequel though.

JSR and JSRF are decent plays, but unlike other fare, I kind of feel they dated out. Tried to return to them, and just didn't re-find the enjoyment like I do with stuff like the first 4 Tony Hawk games.

Individually I'll take Yoshi over 3/4 of All Stars. Might just play through all 5 games via let's play and post them here complete with lame commentary.

Ya know, I thought Blood Money was already taken, or I'd have taken it ages ago. Not sure how I made that mistake.

Gonna give RT some time to edit before I go.

@nighty I was going through my game library and Shadow of Mordor was my next pick. Damn you.

Decided to go with the arcade game I spent countless hours on in high school. My friends and I had tournaments at lunch time. Good times.

One second.

That always makes me paranoid. I did word search and then scroll through just to avoid the egg.
