TNL's Games of the Month 2006

[ As usual, straight ports, retro compilations, and retro XBLA, Virtual Console, and PSN titles are ineligible. Exceptions can be made for ports if they have not otherwise been released domestically. ]

Late this month, due to the database; poll will still be open for one month in its entirety. Anyway, yeah, that's pretty much it --and I was really reaching for about half of those. Very light month.

The lull has worked out well for me, to be honest, because I've been really busy over the past month or two anyhow, and all I've managed to play lately has been Guitar Hero II (which, yes, is ineligible, before everyone asks).

I'd probably vote for Super Paper Mario, if I had a Wii.

None of the above.

I'll probably vote Red Star, but I'm going to need to think about it. I'm enjoying Pokemon more than I expected.

Worst month ever.

The only game on that list I've played is The Red Star. However, considering the other candidates, I would probably still pick The Red Star had I played the other games. Old school, two-player simultaneous shooting, dodging, and melee combat wins over all April contenders.

btn.

did not play one of these games this month.

Played most of the games on that list, Paper Mario wins by a longshot. The Red Star is great for what it is, and Pokemon is tried and true, but Paper Mario gets the nod because of the nice combat system, funny dialog and a neat graphics engine.

Pretty much shouldn't make a thread for May's though, because Odin Sphere has got that shit locked.

If fucking Pokemon wins this, we should just shut the site down, because we failed.

I voted Pokemon LOL.

It's the only game on the list I've played. And honestly the only other game on the list I'm interested in is Super Paper Mario... but LOL Wii.

ban pls

Valhalla Knights... lol that game won't make GOTM if that is the only game out in that month. I voted Super Paper Mario because the rest of the list is just garbage (well LOTR Online might not be garbage but MMORPG is not something I want to play).

Needs a "April fucking sucked" option.

IBTN.

I'mma go ahead and say that voting for Boom Boom Rocket is worse than voting for Pokemon.

It's sad that this month sucked so bad that I can pick a game based on the art style.

Fuck april.

Proudly voted Pokemon :D

Super Paper Mario is pretty good, too, but it didn't hook me like Pokemon.

if i had a wii, id probably have gotten into super paper mario, but didnt get any games this month.

i shoud get the pokeemans

paper mario's good moments are goty. just cut out the write down crap crap


[edit] jesus christ, when did i hit another level of retarded?

GHII. Or the return of all those BC Xbox 1 games. That's what April was really about.

Card Fighters DS?

Seriously AFX?

Have you actually been playing and liking that?

I voted The Red Star. I really like Super Paper Mario, but I dunno... I think it would have been better without all the RPG elements.

What no odin sphere?

That was May I believe.

Odin Sphere isn't even out yet.

EDIT: What bbobb said.

My bad. Still Odin Sphere is next month's winner.

Anyone played Chocobo Tales? Review scores were pretty good.

This list is severly lacking.

The only game I've played on the list was Pokemon Diamond/Pearl for 5 minutes... so it gets my vote, lol.

I voted for Street Fighter III: Third Strike on Xbox 360, even though it's not emulated 100%.

I support teh banstick for the following voters:

bbobb, Hot Like Wasabi, mannerbot, MarkRyan, maruchan, Nomi, portnoyd, Xeno G

Hell, seven of them should be banned for agreeing with MarkRyan, regardless of the Pokemon vote.

edit: e tu, Chux?

I'll admit it, I did it just to annoy you.

I figured some of those had to be for that reason.

The Red Star. No competition at all. If it had come out the same month as EDF I might have had a hard time choosing, but for this month it's a no-brainer.

James

pokeymans cause I gotta catch 'em all

Forgot about Raiden III.

My vote is for Catan, as the only game I bought.

That came out in May as well.

WTF is so hard about this people?

I didn't play any of those games. Except Boom Boom Faggot. and I don't like that game.

You missed a good one, not playing The Red Star. You don't pay for these things anyway, what's stopping you?

James

Time/desire. I don't care about most of these games anymore.

pokemon owns your soul... stop fronting foolz...

pokemon lol

i saw pokeemans 3 times today and each time i told myself it'd be around long after i die, so i didn't feel the need to buy it.
if i had seen Choc'bo Tales, i would've gotten it.

Virtua Tennis 3, I guess. What a shitty list.

Fuck, that was March too.

SNK Vs. Capcom Card Fighters is the most underrated game of the last several years. GOTY so far.

This has to be AFX's new gimmick, although I hope I am wrong.

I was really torn on what to buy two weeks ago pokemon or battlefield 1942. I kept thinking about how great everyone was saying pokemon was, but then I snapped the fuck out of it and came to my senses. WWII>pokemans

When given that choice, the correct answer is suicide.

Not a fan of battlefield I take it.

It's EA developed and not a Hot Pursuit. Therefore I have never and will never play it.

I picked Lord of the Rings, mainly because my dad won't shut up about it because he's addicted.

I really couldn't care less who published it, it's the developer who matters. Unless Dice is owned by EA, in which case I still don't care because it's an awesome game.
