Finally, Decide-o-tron features Joystiq editors' top picks

by Christopher Grant on Nov 10th 2011 7:00AM

Ever wondered what your favorite video game journalists would classify as their favorite (semi-recent) games and, if so, which order they would be placed from one to ten? Us too! And the same evidently goes for the chaps at Penny Arcade, whose Decide-o-tron iOS app offers just such insight.

The Decide-o-tron is a database app, used to catalog the games you have (Library), the games you want (Wishlist), and the games you don't know you want yet. That's where the Celebrity Lists feature comes in. You can see both Justin and I's top three games above, but where does WarioWare: Twisted land and on whose list? And what about Evidence: The Last Ritual? There's only one way to find out, and it's at that Source link just below for the fair market price of $0.

Too expensive, who can afford such a thing?!?!

Also,
1. Final Fantasy Tactics
2. Portal
3. Star Wars Battlefront II

1. Oblivion
2. Portal
3. Bioshock

Pretty much mine in a different order

Decide-o-Tron.
Well, I like that over a "jump to conclusions" mat.

@foxhound
That's greeaaat. Now, about those TPS reports...

@twocows

Have you seen my stapler?

1. Super Meat Boy
2. Oblivion
3. Psychonauts

You seriously expect me to spend hours typing in every game I've played since the dawn of Spectrum 48K just so to make a list?!!

Well OK, let's get started then...

@Pure Black World Tendency
It will actually sync with your Gametag/PSN.

Mind you, this adds every game you've ever played, not necessarily owned.

1. ET - (Atari 2600)
2. Superman 64
3. Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis

In no specific order, all my favorite games.

@Ryuk So I'm guessing Big Rigs is at #0, cause there's no way you could've left that out of the list

Why no Android love Penny Arcade.

1. Majora's Mask
2. Abe's Oddysee
3. Mass Effect

1. Tales of Symphonia
2. Ocarina of Time
3. Diablo 3

So many more.

1. Manic Miner
2. King's Quest 2
3. Moonstone

No offense, but none of your editors are really "gamers". You are just people who write short blurbs about games with varying degrees of success. I find a lot of the “gaming media” just parrots each other anyway, so I'm sure what's listed as "favorite" for a given person is just what's going to be top 85% on metacritic anyway.

Go listen to the last four years of the old Joystiq Podcast and try again. "No offense" my sweet arse.

@Oddgirl I've listened. I've also played games with most of the editors either co-operatively or in a competitive context and I stand by my assessment. If my words have hurt your feelings, I am sorry for that.
