Welcome gamrConnect to the thread where we celebrate the amazing games of the past generation! It seems like it was just yesterday when we got our hands on the DS, PSP, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and new PC hardware. But these machines were just a gateway for us to play some amazing games, so let's take the time to appreciate all the amazing gaming experiences.

• Remakes, Re-Releases, and Remasters are not allowed in this event (there is a specific category in which you can vote for your favorites of that selection). This is an event to celebrate the original releases for the 7th generation of consoles. If the game was originally released on any of the 7th Generation hardware, then you're free to vote for it!
• Please do your best to work within the genre perameters that I have provided. I've done my best to adequately describe each genre and give examples that can help you understand where your favorite games go. If you have any questions, or are hesitant on where a game should go, PM me and I'll do my best to help you out. This event can only work if we vote within the guidelines provided.
  
• Every game should only adhere to ONE SPECIFIC GENRE. For example, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction would be categorized as an Action Adventure game and that's it (Not a Platformer). For games that blend genres, ask me and I'll my best to point you towards the best genre possible.
  
• 1 should be the favorite of your favorites, and from there go down to the correct number of slots asked for for each category (every category asks for 10 games except for the final topic, which asks for your top 20).
• If you dont have enough games to fill out a category, don't worry about it! Just put in the amount of games you can put in (as long as you don't go overboard!) and move on!
• Be sure to include the console(s) that the game is found on when you vote.
• The voting will be ended at May 8th, 2014. I know it's a lot, but make sure you cast your votes!
