Poll Results – 15/10/08

This is a big old month for games, and despite it being halfway through the month, most of the big hitters aren’t even out yet. I hope you all managed to keep some money in your account for these!

So, we asked you what your most anticipated games were for this month, or at least tried to. 13 people voted, 2 of them for Fable 2, 2 for Fallout 3, 2 for LittleBigPlanet, 4 for FarCry 2, and 3 for none of the above. No one voted for Saints Row 2, or Dead Space. But I’m just going to assume that people will be picking up most, if not all, of those games, anyway.

However, if there’s anything to go by in this poll, then FarCry 2 is going to sell a bucketload. It does look awesome. For me, personally, I’m split between Fable 2 and Fallout 3, but I think Fable 2 edges it just a little. Expect a Fable Retrospective soon, people!

Poll Results – 28/09/08

In our last poll, we asked what your favourite current generation home console was. Needless to say the results were not actually that surprising, with the Xbox 360 taking 66% of the votes. Next followed ‘family man’, the Wii with 25% of votes. And lastly one of you out there felt pity for the PS3 and seemingly passed a sympathy vote to bring it up to 8%.

The Xbox 360 – our winner – appears to encompass a ‘games for gamers’ attitude as well as fantastically seamless on-line functionality. Not only this, but it is technically the cheapest of the consoles offering the most bang for your buck in terms of hardware.

The Wii took a different approach however and aims at an audience just outside the reach of the PS3 and Xbox 360. The ‘casual player’ such as your parents or others who wouldn’t usually pick up a pad. Add to this the consoles inventive control schemes, utilising pointing and motion sensing technology, and you have the ultimate party machine.

Sony’s PS3 console offers the most in terms of power and is aimed almost exclusively at the ‘gaming hardcore’, as well as having a free online service. Taking a leaf from Nintendo’s book, the consoles controller also has tilt sensors built-in for that extra degree of manipulation. In conjunction, the machine is also touted as the cheapest Blu-Ray player on the market.

Not a bad 5 minute summary if I don’t say so myself…

[Update] New poll is up!

Poll Results – 07/09/08

New poll results! Again, they’ve been up for ages, but let’s go through them anyway.

The ‘run by douche-bags’ option was merely there as the Essential Comedy Poll Option™, and isn’t really relevant to what you think about the content of the site, so we’ll notch those three votes as positives. In other words, you three fell into our trap! Haha! None of you said ‘it sick’, so thank you for that. If we’re being honest with ourselves, the person who voted for ‘needs improving’ is right. All those that either said you liked it, or went for ‘it’s fuppin’ grand’ made us blush our cheeks off. So, thank you!

New poll up soon!

Poll Results – 15/08/08

Despite being closed for a number of days now (I’ve only just noticed) the results are in! 22 people voted (moar plx), 45% said that they would indeed like to contribute (I’m guessing a few already have, bless ‘em), 45% said maybe, which is lovely enough, I guess, and 2 people (9%) said they wouldn’t, which is rather mean-spirited, but at least they answered.

I guess you’re all thinking the same thing as me at this point; 45 + 45 + 9 does not add up to 100, it adds up to 99. That mean-spirited duo went and borked our poll! The traggots!

The new poll should be up just as soon as I can think of one. And, no, it won’t be crisp-related, as that one’s already been done.
