Well, it looks like things aren't really going to change this Holiday...except they really should have weighted it somehow...a 1st place vote worth 5, 2nd worth 4 and so on.

If someone told me to pick out 5 games I could get for free I'd take COD even though I have no plans on buying it...but then again I will be spending a lot of time on other shooters so I might take Madden for the hell of it.

My top 5:
Gears of War 3
Battlefield 3
Dead Island
AC:Revelations
Madden 2012



SURPRISE GAME

Quote : Deep Silver’s Dead Island represents the lone new IP included on this year’s list in 16th place with 7%.
