Who the fuck is Starwarrior?
 
I see a bunch of no's @ prince of persia sands of time and I'm really confused.

Either everyone thinks it's based on the recent movie and therefore is giving it a no or nobody voting it has played it. I'm voting yes on the PS2 version of the game. You need to clarify what system games like this are for, because the 2003 version is much better than any remake there may have been. If people think it's a game based off a movie they are going to vote "No" regardless of if they've played it.

Yeah all things considered can we just not count spacewizard?

Prince of Persia needs to be up for redemption. It is possibly the influential game ever made, causing a schism in platforming that led to games like Shadow of the Colossus and Uncharted.
 
technical point, but votes are counted up to the line where the error is thrown. their prince of persia votes would have still been counted.

i don't know why i'm mentioning this, i know it won't change your mind...
 
Group 14 has concluded, and the following games were eliminated:

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Punch Out
Quake II
R-Type Delta
ratchet and clank 2
Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time
Resident Evil 3; Nemesis
Resident Evil REmake
Rhythm Heaven Fever
Rhythm Tengoku
River City Ransom (NES)
Rock Band

Also, I'm keeping track of important games that people have suggested for redemption. So far, the games I have are:

Call of Duty
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Frogger

Redemptions will be discussed later, after voting on all groups has completed. Also, redemptions will be based on coherent arguments by multiple people in their favor, not one person going "omg _____ should be redeemed because fuck you".

Group 15 is now underway, and voting will conclude Friday, July 13th at 11:59 PM PST.

Deciding yes or no on Runescape = serious first world problem. Yes won out in the end because (bias) there were too many good memories + (non-bias) it was one of the most successful mmos of the last decade. I do miss those Runescape 1 days, the world was such a happy place back then!

RuneScape was an amazing game, but since the game receives updates every month and since it hasn't been good for a few years now, it's a nonsense candidate.

I've stopped voting in this thread due to the sheer amount of disappointment that comes with each passing round. Seriously, how the fuck do games like Kid Icarus: Uprising, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time get removed? I don't feel that the sample size participating in this thread has actually played enough of the games listed, causing great titles to get dropped in favor of the same old standard "mainstream" choices you see on every single list ever. This is pretty evident by the sheer number of ballots with abstain on every title barring two or three.

I'm hoping that games which are given a strong argument supporting their presence on the list are more likely candidates for redemption, because honestly I don't see this project proving itself to be any more respectable than any other random list of games.
