Yeah, just figured that out, I didn't notice HoC's post the first time round, and I don't instantly associate "HoC" with "Chris" so I didn't bother to check. :)

I know its got no chance of an overall win but I'm hoping Rome Total War does well as it's fantastic and hasn't aged badly at all :D .

I'm not sure how, but I'm pretty sure OoT will still find a way to win this.

I was joking about the fact that it always wins these types of polls and I get the feeling it always will even if better games have been made since as its almost become a self fulfilling prophecy.
