Rate the Game: Week 82

[M-A-G]

Welcome to another morning, folks. We're ready to say goodbye to October as we're dealing with the last Rate the Game of the month. It certainly hasn't been as spooky as I had hoped but it's been fun nonetheless. Last week's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City brought all the boys to the yard, or however that expression goes, and it was quite engaging and it certainly stirred up some memories amongst us. That is what Rate the Game is all about, boys and girls. But, in the overall scheme of things, how well did it do and where shall it fall on our glorious leaderboard? Let's roll out the ever-growing list and see for ourselves....

Well, making some more history here as we don't just have any regular ol' tie. We have a tie FOR FIRST PLACE! Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time are going to be forever duking it out in the same spot up there at the top with a nice average of 4.8. Well, maybe something will knock them down off of that number one spot, or at the least join them in a three-way. Could we have a game that surpass these two behemoths that can claim the number one spot solely as its own? Let's dive right into the bowl and see what we can drag out....

Well, the bigger question is how does it fare with you? Let's make it a good one as we roll into November! Rate and discuss and vote and rant and see you next week!
