The BIG DS Voting Thread, Coming to You Weekly: Thanks For Voting!

 That's almost a top five there, then, especially if you add in MKDS. Unlike the Wii version, the DS seems to have been well regarded, so I'd be surprised if it didn't place.

I'm going to take a guess that five of my votes will make the top ten.

The top five's opened out to an extent - but I can certainly see at least three of the top five slipping to the bottom half.

I have a very good idea of what my top ten is going to look like, and I definitely know what my first choice is. The hard part, for me, is putting the remaining nine into an order that does each game justice.

I've got a top nine. The last game is one I've not figured out yet. I'm not wanting to vote for another Layton or another Pokémon though, as that would be a bit dull.

My top ten is getting pieced together slowly. I have six titles that are definitely going in - make that seven, just thought of another - but it'll take some doing to put them into an order that I feel is right.

You've got till Sunday at least!  

My top 10 was only a top 8, if it's any consolation.

You guys' problems is... you've all played too many DS games! You wanna be like me, bad at handhelds! Then you only have 15 games, and can discard 5 bad ones.

There goes my top ten. I've had to leave some seriously good stuff out.

Votes coming in steadily now - still waiting on some votes from regulars (Zero, Silver, Stu, not counting Andy because I'm fully expecting those at 5:30pm on Sunday) to fully flesh out our top 10.  

I didn't have Silver as a regular.

I can only guess he's working out if an RPG-only top 10 is viable.  

The answer to that is 'yes', by the way! Go on, Silver, you can do it!

Howdy good people. So, we're approaching the deadline for votes and we have an issue - outside of the top 3 games, the rest of the top 10 is a clusterfuck with many games having the same number of points. Now, what I'm proposing to you all is this: in order to better separate the top 10, in addition to having more first place votes, shall I add how many votes a game receives as a tiebreaker?

I feel that'd help us avoid a "so next, it's our fifth 4th placed game" situation.

There should indubitably be some form of separation, but I'd do it in the opposite way: outside first places, which game got more seconds, then thirds, etc. Those are the games that more people will have overlooked, but those that have played them will have liked more. Since part of the point of the thread is to alert its readers to games they may have missed but might like, I'd say that these are the ones we should prioritise!

That's a decent idea. It's more work for me though, but a very good idea. Curses.

Sent off my votes.

Cheers Jas.  

Just to let everyone know - the first results post on Sunday will be later than expected, something has come up so unfortunately for anyone champing at the bit to know the tenth and ninth placed games will have to wait till around 11pm/12am!

My votes are in! DS may be my favourite console and I'm very biased, but the scope of genres in my top ten is surprising. Could've easily written a top twenty.

Not to get you hyped or anything, but depending on what Andy votes for (he's our last regular to vote) then any of the top 5 could currently jump into pole position. There's nine points between 1st and 5th. It's refreshing to see such a wide spread of points - there's no clear winner here whatsoever.

Ive only ever played the demo of Touch and Go in a shop in France, it was naff!

Currently wrestling with my top 11 after knocking 4 from my top 15. Should get it done within the hour! (I hope)

I've got a good feeling about Andyman's votes and Infinite Space.  

Sent off just in time  That was a hell of a tough list to order. Poor old Bowser's Inside Story didn't quite make the top 10 though Sorry guys!
