Bull sh*t. That's what it is. GameSpot might as well have RIGGED the votes. Let me demonstrate.
"Shodan vs. Glados"
Okay, so in the FIRST ROUND, your pairing a well known villain in a popular game released in 2007, against a villain in a game few people played released in 1999. OMG LOGIC.
I'm not picking favorites, but don't VOTE unless you know both villains. I have no room to go and say Unreal is much cooler than TimeSplitters because I've never played TimeSplitters. If you voted for Glados and don't even know who Shodan is than shame on you.
Also, I'm sure Portal will have reduced price on Steam when Glados wins.
"RAAM vs. Sephiroth"
So wait, Gears of War against Final Fantasy 7? I think they hired someone who knew nothing about either games to pair them up. Really, both villains couldn't be more different. Once again, absolute crap.
Okay, people are familiar with both games, but Final Fantasy fans are greater. But that doesn't make me as mad as this contrieved pairing.
"Cyberdemon vs. Andrew Ryan"
.........okay Gamespot, wtf.
"The Guardian vs. Dr. Breen"
Not picking favorites.
Once again, they pair a unknown villain, against a villain from a game everyone played. And from 2 insanely different games. You have Dr. Breen from Half life 2, a game in an Orwellian utopia. And The Guardian from Ultima, a dungeon based fantasy game.
Stupid.
"Revolver Ocelot vs. Team Rocket"
yes, Ocelot from the M rated Politically charged stealth action series Metal Gear Solid, against Team Rocket, from Pokemon.
Okay, this competition is clearly one of the worst things ever held on the internet. Therefore, I will say this.
Where the hell is Mecha-Hitler.
