See this is what happens when people have to cast more than one vote! In an election the public is apt to end up with everyone's second choice for president. Gimme one man one vote any day!
My routine votes are Final Fantasy, Grand Theft Auto, The Sims and Resident Evil. Ahhh Ressie, we've had some good times... I can't believe Silent Hill isn't on there though! My brother loves the game genre of Survival Horror. Hey, what's everyone's favourite game company though? I actually hate EA. THey milked all the money out of us with their expansion packs for TS! They're so tempting!! And I'm a Konami lover.
This is not good. I've voted every day, my other three votes being for whatever happens to be at the tail end of the list. How long does this contest last?
Try voting for the games that nobody else is voting for to help deprive the current leaders (apart from Sims of course) of votes. Sly and sneaky! I'm voting for Tetris and PacMan. I actually like both those games - I'm not voting for them to be sly and sneaky! Lynet: I think it lasts 'til Octerber 31st.

Actually the EQ sites have posted their own vote posts on their websites. As an EQ2 player Ive seen these up. I imagine the Tomb Raider sites have done the same.
My estimates at this point is there's at least 750,000 Everquest and Everquest II players. But that doesn't compare nearly to the millions of Sims players in the world... Same with Final Fantasy and Lara Croft...the numbers don't add up. Note: I'm also assuming that people don't play both..just one or the other
The truth is simple, surely. The Sims is so good that players don't have the time to bother with fansites. Games like Lara Croft require fansites because half the players could never complete even level one without a walk-thru. I don't know about EQ but FF seems also to need a high degree of walk-thru-ery. The Sims franchise is so simple even children can play it, those of us who go in for the full custom content/modding experience (creating it or using it) are, I suspect in the minority of the wider, but still loyal, fanbase.
