1. Making me vote against Mega Man 3 is the most vile thing a person can do to me.
2. Conker was something special back in the day and the multiplayer games still hold up, in my opinion.
3. RE2 was the first game I played on my PSX and to this day it is a wonderfully meaty game. I'd love for a REmake of this one. Voting against Layton hurt a bit though.
4. I never played Okami, unfortunately so Mega Man X wins by default. It's too bad because I love MM3 way more!

1. (1) Final Fantasy VI vs. (9) Mega Man 3
2. (13) Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles vs. (12) Conker's Bad Fur Day

3. (2) Resident Evil 2 vs. (7) Professor Layton and the Curious Village
4. (14) Okami vs. (6) Mega Man X

1. Mega Man 3 is one of the better ones, but there's little that beats out the magic of FF III/VI.
2. I'm just voting for Sonic on the virtue that I don't think Conker is third-party.

3. Never played either, chose the one that looks more interesting.
4. Not a fan of either, but I think I'd rather play Okami again if I had to choose.
