So there was this one game I picked up for $10 sometime back. It was called Nier. I played a bit of it, but threw it in my backlog, as it felt mediocre. Upon seeing Kaushik’s review, however, I digged Nier out of my pile of games and started playing it. I was able to get through it this time around, and even get all four endings.

Gurren Lagann (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) – 68.91% vs ARX-7 Arbalest (Full Metal Panic) – 31.09%

Big O (Big O) - 59.35% vs GN-001 Gundam Exia (Gundam 00) – 40.64%

Judge: Hahahaha. I was actually surprised the Big O won. I thought the newfags would vote in the Exia. Thank goodness for real mecha fans.
Lavaetein: I was worried this would turn out like SaiMoe, where mostly recent stuff wins. Good thing people remember shows from the past. Continue reading »
