Thank you all for your patience! This was a strange month on here for various reasons!

First off, we have our new number 1, which is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. 4 of the top 5 are RPGs (and every individual platform's top performing game was an RPG as well). Tekken makes a huge jump into the top 5. Tomb Raider Remastered also makes a leap into the top 10. And following the release of Spider-Man, Insomniac's The Wolverine makes its top 10 debut as well. 

Speaking of debuts, the other surprise is the highest debut is not a game but a peripheral, the Playstation Portal. 

Combined Chart

The combination chart is also a bit different this month as well. While Final Fantasy and Mario RPG hold the top 2 spots, Persona 3 charges into the number 3 spot. Prince of Persia makes a solid debut in the top 10 with The Lost Crown as does Tekken 8. 

Adding in the placing of the games into the games with release dates to show where they ended up. Of course the usual suspects are in here. This placing is based off where they stand in the combined chart, though I only show the top 20 of that, so it might go a little below the top of the charts, number 21 and 22 both had more than 1 vote a piece at least. We'll see how this goes next month as Mario, Star Ocean, Like A Dragon Gaiden, and The Talo Principle all release this month. 

There's actually a tie for the top spot in PC games between a Reload of 1 game and a Remaster of 3 games. PC still has a lot more games in it than its console counterparts though. 

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth obviously beats out the rest of the competition this month. In fact, if you combine Tekken, Like A Dragon, and Metal Gear Solid 3's total points, Final Fantasy would still have more. 

The hype for Baldur's Gate is real. It leads the pack of Xbox titles this month.

1. Super Mario RPG - pre-ordered, cant wait for it - been wanting a remake of one of my most favorite RPGs from the SNES (so far FF6, Trials of Mana and now Super Mario RPG have been re-made or ported over in some form - only two games left on my top 5 SNES games I want to be remade/re-released - Chrono Trigger and Terranigma)

2. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - pre-ordered it, about to play the first one before this comes out.

3. Paper Mario TTYD - played the original back in 2016 and loved it - cant wait to play it again.

4. Tekken 8 - big fan of Tekken, I finished Tekken 7 last year , even though its on my list of interested titles, likely wont be buying it until its available on a humble bundle and then get the DLC when its fully out and discounted - which is what I did with Tekken 7.

5. Star Ocean The Second Story R - disappointed that the PS4 port was not released in the west but I'll take this which looks better than the PSP/PS4 remake. Hopefully Star Ocean Till the End of Time gets the next remake treatment.
