I figured someone might say that but it's the game that got the most votes. I give the people what they want.

sure, sure I'm not complaining, thats just the way it always goes with competitions, its either racer or FPS

maybe I'll give it a shot, just to be a good sport

Just curious, what genre would you like to see for a competition?

Sounds good

dunno, I guess anything goes; fighting, puzzle, shmup (= NOT fps ), fishing, even a level of a platformer (shortest time/most rings/coins collected), a mission in an action game (on time or something), a level of toy commander, how deep do you get with mr driller while only yelling into the microphone (trust me, this is hilarious),charge 'n blast,ooga booga, spawn...the list is endless. use your imagination , be original

So anything but FPS or racing...got it I've been trying to get some new stuff in there but we'll see what people vote for. I added Wetrix+ to the pre-poll which is one of your suggested games so vote vote vote! I also added a game which I thought would be perfect for a competition, Silent Scope. There are a few different modes and it gives you a score and accuracy rating (which would be great for an achievement).

would be good if we could avoid light gun games! I know they are fun but a lot of us (namely me!!!) can't run them anymore as we don't have an old CRT ANYWHERE in the house.

I'd love to see something like Outtrigger as that has lots of different game modes and can be judged by score, I also suggested JSR but no one ever backed me up on that one, maybe something like railroad tycoon? Spawn? Heavy Metal Geomatrix? You can't really do action adventure game levels as that requires each player to unlock said level, which isn't reaonable as a competition. Sonic Adventure, for example, you can't play certain levels until you progress far enough to open them.

Alien Front Online is a wicked shout, maybe trickstyle? I still like the idea of Tony Hawks 2 and I'm always up for a racing game myself.

I'll give this a quick go tonight and see if I can get an ok time, haven't played this game in probably 7 years!!
