So it was pretty interesting that the month that they announce that Metroid Prime 4 is being restarted with Retro at the helm and somehow it was the number 1 game. No votes even came after the initial news came out so it stuck with the top spot. xD January does have a history of being a bit brutal as far as votes go, but with the releases of Kingdom Hearts and Resident Evil 2, there wasn't much to make up for those losses. Throw in the rumored Nintendo Direct never occurred, and that's why it's so quiet. This month we have a few titles that are spending their last month on here, the most popular of those being Metro Exodus and Crackdown. Here is this months voting thread.

Hmm voting seems to have dropped lately.

Gonna be interesting how Prime 4 does this month lol

How is Cyberpunk 2077 not number 1. That game is going to be revolutionary. Its the type of game that comes every few years and shakes up the industry setting and raising new standards to judge games by from henceforth. I understand every gamer is different with their own tastes but Cyberpunk 2077 is too ambitious to not be number 1. Games like GTA, Red Dead, and Elder Scrolls are games the entire industry are most anticipating. Now that Red Dead 2 has released all eyes are on Cyberpunk, ES6, and of course the inevitable GTA6.

Since the poll is conducted in VGChartz, results will be skewed but if the poll was conducted universally Metroid would not be number 1, a game with next to no information in development for an under powered console. Pokemon I understand since its a massive brand but results would most likely be Cyberpunk 2077, ES6, and Last of Us 2 which are all potentially industry defining games.

Great job as always axum!

did you just get into gaming a month ago? this is a pathetically misinformed perspective

If the poll was conducted universally, Fifa 20 and Call of Duty whatever would most likely win.

OT: I don't have much to say about the results, but thanks for doing this every month axum!

Thank you!

Thanks axum :)
