Last week was the final round of the Nintendo 64 odd debate brackets. GoldenEye 007 is one of the most talked about N64 games of all time, and if there was ever a game from the same era to put it to the test, then surely The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time would be the one most worthy. Many people expected landslides in both directions, proving that each side underestimated its debating competition. Both games put up a good fight, yet one clear winner remained standing in the end. Here are the results:
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (71 votes) — Winner!
- GoldenEye 007 (44 votes) — “I’m in-VINC-ible!” — Oh wait . . .
This week we enter the PlayStation 2 round of odd debates, and to celebrate, I’ve rehashed the very first game debate ever posted on this site. Originally, the way these debates would work, is that I’d pick two commonly debated games, as well as two games you’ve almost never heard compared before. The results would often be interesting and educational, and that’s why I started these odd debates once again.
So this week we see Katamari Damacy and Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty face off yet again. Their gameplay controls? Nothing alike. Their graphics? Couldn’t strive for more different extremes. Their stories? One line plot versus several hours of dialogue. This debate should be challenging, and demands some lengthy consideration before casting your vote. Don’t just go with your gut; weigh the pros and cons of each game and really think about your answer.
Which game do you think is better, and why? Give it some serious thought, get some PS2 childhood friends to share their opinions as well, and check back next week for the winner.
Bonus Question: What’s your favorite PS2 game?
