We have 10 reviews this time around, so we're going to do 2 sets of 5 with the top 2 from each setting moving onto the final 4. The winner of the final 4 will be the overall winner, and then there will be a Zero pick as well making a second winner.

Rules for voting:

#1. Please read all of the reviews listed below before voting. If you can't read them all... don't vote! (And definitely don't just read the first one or two and vote, that's not fair to everyone!)

#2. Please vote based on the quality of the written review (however you define this), not on the author, game or platform!

#3. Please do NOT create extra accounts just to vote for yourself. (I'll be tracking who is voting / IPs / etc.)

Reviews for Round 1, Poll 1:

Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS)
Batman (NES)
Bike Rider DX (3DS)
Pokemon X / Y (3DS)
Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)

PS. I know that you will obviously see who wrote what when reading them, but I'm trying to keep names out of things as much as possible so... that is why I haven't listed who wrote what in any of this.

PPS. I will not be voting in these polls, as I will be choosing a "Zero's Choice" winner afterwards. I will be reading all of the reviews though!

PPPS. Each poll will be open for um... about 5 days? If there are any ties I might keep that poll open a bit longer for the tie-breaker. So that means that barring a tie this poll will be closing Monday night midnight central time, at which point the next poll should be up.

10-4. I'll be rereading them tonight.

I'm not allowed to vote.

Did anyone else notice that the poll results make a symmetrical pattern?

@Zero
I noticed that. Crazy.

@Mr_Mustache
I could have sworn more people voted last year.

I think people aren't noticing because it's stickied at the top.

@PogueSquadron Yeah but I let it go normal for a day and it dropped instantly. Tough to know how to get people to notice.

I think the competition just didn't have quite as much steam this year either. Still, will be fun to see who wins!

I was planning to strategically bump it when I saw that it fell.

I voted!

The poll is sorta shaped like a space ship from Galaga.

I like video games.
