The nominations are in. It is time to send in your ballots. Your top 15 (or fewer, if you don't have 15) PS2 games, with your thoughts or images or videos you believe should be included, should all be sent to the fancy new email address made for just this: ps2✧✧✧@gm✧✧✧.c✧✧!
Points will be determined by place. Your favourite game will get 15 points; second, 14; all the way down to 15th getting 1, if you include that many picks.
The due date, for now, is April 1st. Send us your picks!

It is possible that I've missed something. Have a quick look and make sure I didn't if you get a chance.

I guess I mentioned it wihout explicitly nominating it, but I do think the Eyetoy games should be on there (probably as a single choice, same as sIngstar).
― JimD, Monday, 15 March 2010 11:02 (fifteen years ago)
sent my vote, blurbs forthcoming!

there was 3 more games I had nominated:Street Fighter Alpha AnthologySSX 3Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves
― CaptainLorax, Monday, 15 March 2010 20:44 (fifteen years ago)
Dang it I knew I would somehow miss something. Mods would it be possible to add those 4 games (3 from Lorax + eyetoy) to the OP?

― forksclovetofu, Tuesday, 16 March 2010 05:19 (fifteen years ago)
could we maybe make the voting deadline the end of April? there's a couple of games I wanted to at least try out before the deadline but April 1st is mighty soon.
― /no cobo (jamescobo), Tuesday, 16 March 2010 17:10 (fifteen years ago)
That's a fair point-- it also means I don't have to make stuff during exams.
― Quantic Dream, So Hard To Beat (Will M.), Tuesday, 16 March 2010 21:57 (fifteen years ago)
am i really considering getting a ps2 and replaying/playing some of these games before I submit my ballot when I don't even have time to play 2009's ps3/360 games?

wondering why orig gran turis and mgs aren't in there but i guess i should have wondered that during the nominations stage.
― take me to your lemur (ledge), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 10:25 (fifteen years ago)

another mod requestination: due date to Apr. 30?
― Quantic Dream, So Hard To Beat (Will M.), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 15:34 (fifteen years ago)
gottit
― forksclovetofu, Wednesday, 17 March 2010 16:06 (fifteen years ago)
So I am going to push back the date for this thing again because
1) Due to exams I didn't really get around to bugging people into sending their ballots2) I think everyone forgot about it due to that3) Very few ballots have actually come in.
So what are y'all thinking would be a good date?
― Quantic Dream, So Hard To Beat (Will M.), Monday, 26 April 2010 13:52 (fifteen years ago)
good, cos i STILL haven't got round to playing SOTC yet. damn.
― aztec gamera (zappi), Monday, 26 April 2010 14:12 (fifteen years ago)
I don't wanna drag it on forever so I'm thinking May 14th will be the (final this time) due date. Gives people long enough to deliberate and means it'll get done, you know, in the near future.
― Quantic Dream, So Hard To Beat (Will M.), Monday, 26 April 2010 14:50 (fifteen years ago)

I'm not going to vote in this as tbh the Gran Turismos, GTAs and PES don't need boosting from someone who's barely played anything else in the past 8yrs, but I'm looking forward to the results, and some ideas for things to pick up.
― ketchup scam (useless chamber), Sunday, 9 May 2010 14:06 (fifteen years ago)

ledge, there is one person whose ilx name isn't included-- are you iain? if not, you have not sent a ballot!
― Quantic Dream, So Hard To Beat (Will M.), Sunday, 9 May 2010 18:39 (fifteen years ago)
for ilxors, these people sent in ballots:
forks, onimo, lamp, abanana, me, and iain (i'm assuming an ilxor). i have a few non-ilx ballots but yeah. not an awesome turnout so far!!!
― Quantic Dream, So Hard To Beat (Will M.), Sunday, 9 May 2010 18:41 (fifteen years ago)
i am not iain. i might have knocked one up and saved it at work, if not will do one from scratch tomorrow, probably.
― I had gained ten lewis (ledge), Sunday, 9 May 2010 19:02 (fifteen years ago)
I am iain! I put 'if' at the end of the email but it's not exactly obvious I guess.

done mine
― bracken free ditch (Ste), Monday, 10 May 2010 16:30 (fifteen years ago)
sent mine in yesterday; I'm only voting for 10 because no sense in padding my ballot. wish I'd had more time to get into Persona 4 though; it's awesome as shit 2 hours in but given the amount of content I haven't seen yet I can't in good conscience vote it any higher than #10.

I think I only voted for 13
yep you only voted 13, if you want 2 more let me know but 13 is still a whole bunch of games!
i think only PS3 got nom'd, 4 was 4gotten

as in, uh, pro skater 3, not "...is currently a game system"

No I only want to vote for 13, I hadn't played most of these

Question for Forks because I forget: did you break ties by # votes THEN # of 1st places, or the other way around?
― Quantic Dream, So Hard To Beat (Will M.), Monday, 10 May 2010 19:43 (fifteen years ago)
for the coint and plick you mean? number of votes was tiebreaker one then number of #1 picks.

man, what would you vote for that isn't on the nomination list already? It's pretty deep!
― ₣õ®₭§©₤¤∵釰ƒü (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 13 May 2010 22:26 (fifteen years ago)
A ballot is a device (originally a small ball—see blackball) used to record choices made by voters... yankee.
― cozen, Thursday, 13 May 2010 23:03 (fifteen years ago)
i would submit a ballot, but i think i've played maybe five PS2 games ever, and don't really want to skew results with that kind of thing... though i guess if Shadow of the Colossus doesn't get #1 by exactly 15 points you can yell at me
― Nhex, Friday, 14 May 2010 08:58 (fifteen years ago)
espgaluda came to mind immediately. prob the shmup I spent the most time with on the ps2.
list is pretty deep, tho!
― original bgm, Friday, 14 May 2010 14:17 (fifteen years ago)
oh yeah, and mushihime-sama!
but I understand if you don't want my import shmup nerd stuff that's not even listed in the noms clogging up the list.
― original bgm, Friday, 14 May 2010 14:19 (fifteen years ago)
pfffffff. shmups are fine. stuff that is great belongs on here, even if it has to get written in.
the one write-in that i accepted was guilty gear xx, because it seems worth allowing and i feel as if it may have been nom'd and i just forgot, or something.
anyway, i am starting to put together the ILX posts for this, but if there are late ballots i will accept them.
― Quantic Dream, So Hard To Beat (Will M.), Saturday, 15 May 2010 21:53 (fifteen years ago)
ps only THREE people not including myself gave me blurbs!!! two of them are not ilxors and one is only an occasional poster!!! i am making grebt use of ILX search to grab quotes i find funny though.

Were the results of this ever posted somewhere?
― Godzilla vs. Rodan Rodannadanna (The Yellow Kid), Monday, 29 August 2011 18:02 (thirteen years ago)
No. I think the problem was not enough ballots?
― polyphonic, Monday, 29 August 2011 18:38 (thirteen years ago)
The results to this were never posted because the number of ballots was kinda bad, but also, because I stopped working for 2 years to go to school & when I'm in school I am shit @ doing things like using the Internet (seriously).
BUT I am out of school and working again and have time again and I could post the results. HOWEVER everyone's ballots are mad old, and I never got blurbs from people.
SO WHAT DO YOU SAY ILG? Here are some of the things I can do here:
- Start posting the results, 2 years later - Reply everyone the ballot they sent me and see if they want to change their ballots (anyone who didn't respond, I'd use the old ballot, and anyone who wanted to send a ballot before the new deadline could) - Throw the whole thing out and start over (I like this less than options 2 and 1)
Doing the images is probably going to take a while so I'll be slow.
ALSO I NEED BLURBS. When I was first doing it I was running around using the search function to find quotes about the games, which isn't bad but doing it for +100 games is going to be brutal.

Was clearly scraping the barrel with some of my picks but I see no reason to redo it. Will try and provide some blurbs though.

Somewhat surprised I apparently only ever played 15 ps2 games though.
