The THIRD Annual Official Unoffical Quarter to Three Awards

Games
1

Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, these are the awards you love to hate!
The official unofficial QT3 Game of the Year awards!

This year’s awards will (once again) be tabulated using instant runoff voting, so order counts!
Voting is open until midnight PST on January Second (Friday).

Any votes made after that will not be counted unless it’s Tom.

In order to be counted please observe the following rules:

1. Vote for your top three (3) choices in order of preference.
Games must have been released in the calendar year 2008 to qualify.

There are TWO categories:
Console and PC

You may choose 3 entries in both categories

  1. Please format your vote post as follows:

PC

  1. Game Name
  2. Game Name
  3. Game Name

CONSOLE

  1. Game Name
  2. Game Name
  3. Game Name

Remember, order counts in instant runoff voting.

It’s really important you use the
#. Game Name
format

Not

  1. Fallout
    or
    1-Fallout
    or anything else.

Please put a space after the dot.
All of this allows me to more easily, quickly, and accurately process the entries.

  1. Use the game’s full name whenever possible.
    Call of Duty 4
    not
    COD4

I’ll try to figure stuff out. But acronyms are a nightmare.

  1. You may re-edit your vote post as many times as you like up until the cut-off time.

  2. Have at least 30 posts on the board.

Life is full of arbitrary rules. This is one of them.

  1. These awards are unfair, arbitrary, stupid, broken, and wrong
    As are all awards.

Get to voting!

EDIT – After some more thought, FO3 can just go in the PC category since that’s what I played it on. Also, somehow forgot Sins. How did I forget Sins!?

4

You can.

5

Anyways,
PC:

  1. Fallout 3

Consoles suck, and are like, babby toys.

12

  2. iRacing
  3. Fallout 3

DCS is an acronym standing for ‘Digital Combat Simulator’ but “DCS: Black Shark” is the official name of the game according to the developer and publisher. If you would prefer the entry to read “Digital Combat Simulator: Black Shark”, let me know and I will edit the post.

13

PC

  1. Wrath of the Lich King
  2. Age of Conan
  3. Fallout 3

Not sure if Puzzlequest was this year or not.

And Age of Conan was a GREAT singleplayer game about leaving Tortage

14

  1. Left 4 Dead
  2. Fallout 3
  3. Space Rangers 2: Reboot

CONSOLE

  1. GTA 4
  2. Fable 2
  3. Call of Duty: World At War

I haven’t finished Witcher yet, but it’s been a sparse year for games on the PC for me, despite how many good big releases there are.

15

PC

  1. Fallout 3
  2. The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
  3. Left 4 Dead

CONSOLE

  1. Burnout Paradise
  2. Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

PC

  1. Left 4 Dead
  2. Crysis Warhead
  3. Mass Effect

CONSOLE

  1. Saints Row 2
  2. Mirror’s Edge
  3. Rock Band 2

ok, technically I played mass effect on the 360 but I ran out of space on the console side and I couldn’t think of a more worthy game on the pc side.

18

Mine’s shuffled around a teeny bit. I lost a bit of enthusiasm for FO3 and have been getting back into Sins. Also, I’m sure I could knock GTA4 and SC4 off the list if I’d played more console games this year (like maybe Dead Space, Prince of Persia, or Mercs 2).

PC

  1. Left 4 Dead
  2. Fallout 3
  3. Sins of a Solar Empire

CONSOLE

  1. Rock Band 2
  2. Grand Theft Auto IV
  3. Rez HD

Edit: You know what, fuck SoulCalibur. Rez HD was this year, wasn’t it?

19

This thread is going to make me buy Sins of a Solar Empire and try it again, isn’t it? Bah. I couldn’t get into it the first time around, but it’s on so many lists already.

PC

  1. Fallout 3
  2. FarCry 2
