Guessing Yahtzee's Top/Bottom 5

[remnant_phoenix]

So, someone already tried to do this thread in early November, but it fizzled out after 9 replies.

Besides, it's only now that we have all of his reviews to draw from. His past patterns indicate that next week will be the joke montage video and the following week will be his year wrap-up video. He used to do the "Zero Punctuation Awards," but last year he did the "Top 5 / Bottom 5" instead. He implied in his Driver: San Francisco video that he'd do "Top 5 / Bottom 5" again this year.

So, anyway, if you're interested, why not indulge a little guessing game and plot out your picks for Yahtzee's Top 5 and Bottom 5. It's like fantasy football brackets for gaming geeks!

For each one you get exactly correct, 2 points. For each game that is on your list and Yahtzee's corresponding list but isn't in the same ranking, 1 point.

Whoever gets the highest score gets the "Yahtzee's Mind Reader" Award. (Considering this award is arbitrary, made up by me, and has no physical substance, the award can and will be given to all the top-scorers in the event of a tie).

I took the liberty of compiling a list. The ones in parentheses in all likelihood won't make any lists because they're retro reviews or reviews for a system/peripheral. However, the 3DS and Kinect videos did have mentions of some games that he reviewed while using the devices.

Top 5

5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
4. Driver: San Francisco
3. Infamous 2
2. Minecraft
1. Bastion

Bottom 5

5. Dead Space 2
4. Brink
3. Hunted: The Demon's Forge
2. Call of Juarez: The Cartel

I agree with OP for the most part, but here's my version of the list:
5. Skyrim
4. Yakuza 4
3. Driver San Francisco
2. Infamous 2
1. Bastion
~~~
5. Duke Nukem Forever
4. Brink
3. Demon's Forge
2. Call of Juarez: The Cartel
1. Mindjack

Minecraft is removed from the top 5 and Yakuza 4 goes in instead, while Dead Space 2 isn't quite bad enough to be edged out by Duke.

I'm going to bet that Portal 2 and Driver San Francisco are going to be in the top five. I can't be sure about the rest.

And how the hell could you not guess Portal 2 in the top five?

Other than those, I have no clue as to what's going to be in his list.

"Is Portal 2 a good game? Yes! (So were more than four other games this year, according to Yahtzee.) Is it better than Portal 1? No!"

He was harsher on Portal 2 in Extra Punctuation if I remember correctly.

Oh, yeah. Forgot about Resistance...But I'm standing by my current list: I doubt Resistance will go that high because of the tendency to act like Half-Life 2, even if that was just played as a joke...We're also all agreeing that Mindjack will be the worst game.

Even though only three people entered, you sir, with a score of 7 points, win the "Yahtzee's Mind Reader" Award.

Do a little dance and be proud.
