You Decide: What Game Must Certis Buy For Me?
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 - 11:57am
As explained on GWJ Conference Call Episode 105, I won a free game from the GWJ Donation Drive prize drawing, and I put it before the community to decide what game Certis has to buy for me.
The options:
* Left 4 Dead (PC) (Votes: 28.5)
* Gears of War 2 (360) (Votes: 12)
* Fallout 3 (360? PC?) (Votes: 8.5)
* Mirror's Edge (360) (Votes: 3)
* Bratz: Lobzter'z Mom (Bed) (Votes: 1)
(vote tabulation services provided by Diebold)
You guys vote, Certis buys, I play. Pretty much the way it should be. 
Guaranteed to be more satisfying than any other election this fall!
Voting closes whenever I say it does.

Edit: Was Fallout 3 (PC)
Now: Left 4 Dead (PC)
Simply for the fact that we will want all the Goodgers we can playing Left 4 Dead.
XBL/PSN/STEAM
Hmm, probably the one that you'll play for the longest. That way every time Certis sees you playing the game, he'll die a little inside. I'm going to go with:
Left 4 Dead(PC), so that Steam can constantly remind every member of GWJ that you just started it up.

If there's a collector's edition available, do you want it? And is that an option for your prize? Fallout 3 has 8 editions possible when you include the different platforms.

Since I assume you will be getting all those games anyways I would go for a 360 game to make him pay more
.
Gears 2 gets my vote

Bratz Chernobyl!!! Bratz Chernobyl!!!
barring that,
Left4Dead, because I can see it getting a ton of mp GWJ action, thus giving you more opportunities to rub salt in the wound.

If I were hand selected to receive a free game I would request Fallout 3. That being said, there are some coherent arguments for both Bratz: Chernobyl and Left4Dead.

I'd actually go Gears of War 2. It's more expensive
You still have to get Left 4 Dead though.

There is absolutely no question that I will have Left 4 Dead one way or another. Don't anyone worry about that.

Left4Dead. That way whenever Certis' brain gets eaten, it will add insult to injury.

I was going to say Fallout 3, but I want to vote strategically and keep Gears 2 out of the running, so I'll say L4D

Where's all those Gears & Beers drunks? I thought Gears would easily have the upper hand, or at least there'd be a nice three-headed race.

Well if he had to go in and pick it up personally I would have said anything with barbie adventures or something equally shameful to be seen holding, but since there's a list of choices I would say:
Left 4 Dead
