PSXE Best Of The Best Poll Update: Metal Gear Solid Leads The Way
Metal Gear SolidWell, the first round of PSXE's Best of the Best Action/Adventure title is over, and as expected, Metal Gear Solid easily took the #1 seed for the second round.
As for the rest of the top 5, it was a pretty big battle, with only Resident Evil 2 slightly separating itself from the rest of the pack. Sypro: Year of the Dragon snuck into the fifth and final qualifying spot for this week, although for the life of us, we can't figure out why Castlevania: Symphony of the Night didn't make it. Widely considered to be one of the best PS1 games of all time, we firmly believed it would end up going head to head with MGS for the overall action/adventure victory, but...well, it's not up to us. It's up to you, the loyal reading public, who would rather vote for Spyro than Symphony. 'sigh' Oh well, we all have our own opinions, and it'll certainly be interesting to see which title nabs the Silver and Bronze medals at the end of next week. You never know what can happen; in the RPG competition, Chrono Cross barely made it into the top 5, then somehow came up and snagged the Bronze in the final week. Here are the five action/adventure games that made it into the second round:
Metal Gear Solid
Oddworld: Abe's Exodus
Resident Evil 2
Sypro: Year of the Dragon
Tomb Raider
The poll for Round 2 is up and ready to go, so place your votes now! As usual, you can always discuss the results in official thread in our forums. Which one of those final 5 really is second best to MGS...?

I'm still upset crash bandicoot 1 - 3 Isnt in there & Die Hard Trilogy, Spyro fails in comparison to the Crash Trilogy. You will be doing a survival horror poll wont you, that would be interesting. RE2 shouldn't be in the list.
a good survival horror poll competition:
Alone in the Dark - A new Nightmare ( I think , the one that was also on the Dreamcast.)
Dino Crisis
Parasite Eve II
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Silent Hill
Consider it.

For the PS1? I don't think so.
MGS is gonna win solely because of MGS4, I'm betting a lot of people who voted for MGS haven't played the first one.
Shame that Twisted Metal 2 went out so quick.

However, we ARE doing a special PS1 category to round out the top 5 PS1 games of all time. It'll happen after the last poll (Sports/Racing) is over, and it will include any and all PS1 games in all genres that weren't previously nominated. I'm taking suggestions on which games should be on that list in the Poll thread in the forums. :)
