It's really sad what games are winning and by what margin.
You mean people have different tastes? This came as a shock to me.

Quite an interesting pairing, to tell you the truth.
It's more like "what games have you actually played"?
Poor Grim Fandango... Kids these days...

SimonG: It's more like "what games have you actually played"?
Yeah, just the thing I was thinking about.

For statistical reasons, there should be a line that asks you "have you played both games?"
Where in the heck is Deus Ex .... any of them ...
damn what a random selection of games

Edit: Ow, Best Story, that makes more sense I guess

What's diablo 2 doing in there?
System Shock 2 and Grim Fandango are really taking a beating. I guess they are probably quite unknown outside long-time hardcore PC gamers, but at least it is nice to see them as entries. In fact, I'm pleasantly surprised how many PC-only entries there are.

On the other hand, Planescape Torment is doing better...

And KotOR is barely winning Assassin's Creed II? What's wrong with this world?
Did Shadow of the Colossus even have a story? Isn't it more like "in medias res" pure gameplay taking down giant monsters?

It's only logical. Unlike System Shock 2 and Grim Fandango, Planescape Torment has actually been available for purchase for a long time, even in retail.

Well, it was a pretty standard Star Wars story, nothing special. Not that AC had a better story ...

I have to disagree. The redemption story may be standard, but that's not what the whole story is about. Heck, every main character from your party has a story worth of a game.
Why are the vast majority of these games shooter and action games (which aren't usually known for complex or interesting stories)? Where are the adventure games???

Also, I've never even heard of Shadow of the Colossus!
