I don't buy the notion that Cornered was more deserving than the songs that were picked, especially the Objection theme (which, you know, absolutely crushed all other 49 tracks in the same set).ZealousD said:In terms of songs that already have 3 entries in the contest, is there any chance you could make an exception for Phoenix Wright - Cornered? In other rounds, we had time to make suggestions on changes prior to you putting them up, but since the Ace Attorney series was in Round 1 we didn't have the chance. It seemed like that was an extremely unpopular decision to me.

Complete results for round 7 can be found here.
- Turnout seems to have leveled off at the mid-50s.
- We had an aggressive ballot stuffer this time around (first time I've noticed anyone voting more than 2 or 3 times). Seemed to be a Halo fan, as several of those songs dropped like a rock in the results after I axed the votes.
- Hang-On snuck into the top 10. Even though I nominated it, I didn't expect that. Shenmue fans coming out of the woodwork?
- Ikaruga had a very strong showing. It's one of my favorite games ever, and I think the soundtrack is used to great effect (perfect choreography with the action onscreen and whatnot), but I'm not sure it's that worthy.
Round 8 is up.

It's only going to be considered if I really have to stretch things to fill out a complete set.

It isn't about my opinion. There are other selections in the current nominee/finalist lists that I disagree with, but I'm not going to break the 3-per-game limit for any of them. Period.ZealousD said:Oh come on man. This list shouldn't be about your own personal tastes. I counted 4 people in this thread that would have liked Cornered to be on that list. I respect your opinion but that's 4 against 1.
I honestly feel like Cornered would have even beat out Objection.
Wasn't a huge fan of this round's #1 and #2.Timber said:crap i forgot to vote!well, vortal combat made it.
and i do love the ico songs, but i think the save game music shouldve been added. its very simple but i have a special affinity for it for some reason![]()
"Under Cover of Night"Sixfortyfive said:I generally like Halo and Half-Life's music. Halo is one series that I really do feel like I fucked up when it came to picking the nominees.

Fuck you guys for denying Jack's Theme.
Fuck you all!
:lolZealousD said:No, it's pretty clear you're not a big Zelda fan, because you didn't include the most iconic songs of the series, like the overworld theme or the dark world theme. Although it is pretty clear you played OoT because you listed all the OoT songs first. =P
Drakken said:From what I can tell, most (6) of the King of Fighters tracks are arranged. London March (Billy Kane) is in-game, and the first half of each of the KoF XI tracks is in-game. The others come from arranged albums. Shame to waste 6 spots. :-/
Also, I'll be voting very shortly.
Drakken said:Fun fact: The Clock Tower song used to make me go crazy. I guess that was a year or so after I had played the game, hearing that song would bring back memories and just make me scream or something.
Title is pretty much the best NES song ever. As someone else mentioned, it's a full-out prog rock tune, but made with the NES soundchip. Ah, I <3 the Follin bros.
Lonely Rolling Star is definitely one of the best KD tracks, so I'm glad to see that here. Such a fun, bouncy song. Cherry Blossom-Colored Season isn't one of my favorites from the KD OST, but it's solid enough to place.

More like four, but close enough.Masked Man said:Sakurairo no Kisetsu was SO close--only one point! ;_;

EDIT: Round 8 also received more last-minute votes than usual. Seems most of the regular participants couldn't get around to this one over the weekend.
grandjedi6 said:And boo at no Song of Healing. Failure! Though I am happy at the We love Katamari song making it. Plus the other Zelda songs are quality too
