G4 is in the middle of the Videogame Deathmatch. This is the best idea, ever!
The idea is that fans get online and vote for their favorite gaming franchise. This means, any game that has one or more sequels, or prequels to it.
They started out with 32 of the top gaming franchises of all time. Fans voted and winners moved on up the brackets. Currently, they are taking votes for round three.
Round 3 consists of 4 battles:
Assassin’s Creed vs. Fallout
Grand Theft Auto vs. Legend of Zelda
Mass Effect vs. Resident Evil
StarCraft vs. Warcraft
I am already flabbergasted by which franchises have been beaten by others. For instance, in round 2, Assassin’s Creed was up against Call of Duty. Now, I have played and enjoy both franchises, but I really thought this was a no-brainer when it comes down to the popularity of the two. And yet, even after 7 highly successful games put out for Call of Duty, versus Assassin’s Creed’s 2, Assassin’s Creed came out the winner.
The lesson here boys and girls, is get your asses out there and vote! Voting really does make a difference!
