Yes it's that time again! You must all still remember the grand showdown we had last year: Valve vs. the mindless Farmville horde of Zynga, which thank god resulted in a triumph for Valve and quality gaming!
It'll be fun to see what drama we'll get this year. Got to feel sorry though for Mojang and Team Meat, they're up against Nintendo and Blizzard respectively in their first round :v:
The voting begins March 14th and lasts until April 5th!
The bracket looks pretty poor. I wish they had some logos or something to make it easier to spot a company.
The Escapist sucks and would be nothing at all without Yahtzee
To be honest,the only good thing on the escapist is Zero Punctuation,Extra Credits and The Big Picture.

I always thought The Escapist was Yahtzee's site. :xd:

Which isn't really saying much, to be honest.
Doraleous and Associates is an entertaining show too, although they've been on hiatus for a few months now.
But who cares if you like The Escapist or not. Thought you guys would be interested in the contest, looking back at what it sparked last year.

Pretty much this. Might as well call it "Yahtzee's website".
Also the victory against the hordes of Zynga fanboys was glorious.
blizzard vs. team meat ? Sucks to be team meat I guess.

Welp, here's my bracket.
[editline]2nd March 2011[/editline]
Hardest choice was DICE or Bethesda.

Mojang AB beating Nintendo, Rockstar North and Epic Games ? Uh okay.
Some of these pairings are completely unfair.
Yes. :v:
Probably going to be Bioware vs. Blizzard at the top, and Either Nintendo or Mojang vs. Valve at the bottom.
My prediction is that in the end, it will be Blizzard vs. Valve, and Valve will win.
I think it'll end up Bioware vs. Valve. They gave Valve a tough time last year in the semi-finals.

Blizzard vs. Team Meat for example
They're going to get slaughtered by WoW/Starcraft fanboys
Did anyone watch unforgotten Realms when it was on the escapist ?
Mojang shouldn't even be in there.
Blizzard against Team Meat?
PopCap against Treyarch?
Uh-Oh

It's not like they'd have a chance later on anyway. It only gets harder.

I doubt Blizzard would lose to Team Meat

That's my personal opinion, notice the "my bracket" up there ?
Also I feel that it is unfair to vote for a company whos games i have never played.
Luck wasn't on Team Meat's side it seems. Blizzard will destroy them (and rightly so, Team Meat made 1 very good game, Blizzard has made several not only great, but legendary games).

But, knowing the size of Blizzard's fanbase, the odds are heavily in Blizzard's favor for that.
Bioware V. Dice? FFFFFFFFFFFF
[QUOTE=markfu;28388070]Bioware V. Dice? FFFFFFFFFFFF[/QUOTE]
Valve vs Crytek
(I know it's not said but do you really think those two will lose to their stage one opposer?)
[QUOTE=JesterUK;28386890]The Escapist sucks and would be nothing at all without Yahtzee[/QUOTE]
Most sites dedicated to video-based game journalism tend to be like that.

Notch & co will not survive the Nintendo onslaught, we can be sure of that.
