Editorial comment: It’s clear to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that jferro won this round.
Hardly. My brother Tim is responsible for 22 of those 28 entries.
So many of those sound like must-play titles. And because I’m bored:
Frank Miller’s Sim City
The Legend of Kane’s Mutiny
A Treatise of the System of the World of Mana
Mr. Ko Ran Ran
Although you did pick one that was genuinely mine for the title. Yay, me!
Soul Food Reaver
Ratchet & Tank Girl
Wild F-Zero
Descent of a Woman
Godfather of War
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Characters
Resident Evil Dead
Crazy Taxi Driver
Mega-Man of LaMancha
James Bond: View to a Gil.
That’s enough for now, methinks.
