Last week's debate brought us to the end of the PSP odd game debate brackets with two very deserving games in the finals. The votes were a dead tie half way into the tallying, but in the end one game broke ahead and never looked back. Here are the results:- Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (24 votes) -- "Da da da dahhhhhh da da DA da dahhh" -- Winner!
- Patapon (15 votes)
This week we enter the PC odd game debate brackets. For those of you keeping track, this is the last of the very lengthy "odd game debate" tournaments. After that, by the end of June we'll return to reader suggestion based debates, as well as a healthy dose of the regular hair-puller debates that I think up.
For this week, which game do you think is better, and why? The two games have more in common than you might think at first glance, although the vast differences are what you'll need to consider the most before making your pick. Give it some serious thought, get some PC friends to share their opinions as well, and check back next week for the winner.
Bonus Question: What is one thing you don't like about the game you voted for?

Contest:
Bonus: It's insanely high learning curve. I've played many a FPS, but something about this one needs to have everything in place to even get a kill cause people can kill really quick from far as shit, and while you try to do the same, it doesn't quite work. Or maybe I just suck. lol
CS get major bonus points of mods and unlimited servers and maps. But WoW gets even more bonus points for having annual (okay, every few years) expansions.
Vote: World of Warcraft.
Can I give a (-1) to both of them?
2 years of my life destroyed.
A promise is more than enough! I'm just vexed because you have so much to say in your Debates, but never flesh it out.
Pick: WoW
Bonus Question: What is one thing you don't like about the game you voted for?
The fact that it's possible to solo the entire game from 1-80
So neither HURR HURR HURR
I remember when I first played World of Warcraft too. It was literally magical. The world was so big and everything seemed so new and interesting to me. I spent hours exploring, even if it wasnt for quests, and I wanted to learn everything. Playing it now, with two expansions out that feeling has passed but I still have a game that usually gives me something interesting to do, amazing places to see, and an incredible lore to delve into and enjoy.
Both were fun, but I'm only playing one now and it overall has given me more enjoyment and that's:
World of Warcraft.
As far as Wow, its more of a Grindfest than anything, even though an equal ammount of time could be sucked into both. Personally, I feel more satisfied playing on CS, as over the years the variety of stuff to do in game (climb maps, surf maps) increases and is added onto by community.
If Wow had a bigger community contribution ability, I'd probably be more sucked into it, and thus it would be a winner.
(Bonus) I hate the riot shield in CS 1.6 ... which is why I moved onto Source... but generally I don't like getting stuck on a team who gets themselves killed far too easily (general peeve anyways of course).
The one thing above all that I hate about WoW (despite voting for it) is that people take it far, far, far too seriously for a game. I know a few people that have literally thrown their lives away to play this game, because they feel its so goddamn important, that is makes me sad. Depressing, I know, but I'm glad I know how to enjoy it even after seeing that happen to people and to make sure I never let a game do the same to me.
i thought long and hard about which one is better and lasts longer
at first i thought wow due to it being an mmo and how it had in-depth skills and such but then i thought no counter strike is "better" than wow because of the modibility the possibility for CS are literally endless be it skins, maps,
and other such mods. because while wow may is deeper game-play wise and thats it. while counter strike wins in every other respect, thus is the nature of valve games.
bonus: like i said CS isn't very deep.
Bonus: I guess the fact that I'm not very good at it?
pew pew pew.
bonus: while modding was one of the most magical parts of CS, it also completely ruined games at times, with bastard 12 year old kids using steroid-like hacks that made them invincible.
Bonus: Mainly the cult people build around it. Believe it or not, by now there are about a hundred far superior shooter out there. It's no longer necessary to play CS.
