System Wars is a one of a kind destination where gamers can discuss, rant, and debate about systems, platforms, handhelds and the games. Not many people survive System Wars. The mightiest system warriors back up their arguments with facts.
Rules are simple:
- Read the Terms of Use and System Wars Survival Guide.
- Must be Level 10 or higher to create topics.
- Keep your discussions around what belongs here: platforms, games, developers, publishers, and stats.
- Don't quote more than one image in your post.
- Do NOT post or bump extremely abusive discussions (adult material/illegal activities/illegal advertising/etc).

SYSTEM WARS AWARDS HISTORY
Like I said, the System Wars Awards happened this year against all odds. And this was thanks to the combined efforts of many, many users. A whole lot of whom came together and decided to throw away everything else they were doing to plan, coordinate, and then undertake such a massive undertaking. These users deserve to be recognized and acknowledged for what they did. So, in no order, thanks to Stevo_the_gamer, whose banner and background designs were used for this award; to Blabadon, who came up with many of the Award titles. To charizard1605 and freedomfreak, who spent hours counting all the votes. Also, thanks to Badosh, funsohng, CaseyWegner, timmy00, Verbtex, MusicalMac, and AdobeArtist, without whose help and support this would have all fallen apart. And a very special thanks to our (only) two time System Wars King, DarkLink77, who set the entire thing in motion and ensured it would happen.
A special mention must also be made of psymon100, jonwh18, and Soulitane, all of whom rose to the occasion magnificently when some urgent help was needed to ensure that the Awards would occur as scheduled.
Most of all, thanks to everyone who voted, thanks to everyone who participated. It's only special because you make it so. So, above all else, thank you System Wars.

Kevin Van Ord wrote:I just want to say--again--something I have said many, many times before: Dispel the notion that a game starts at a 10, and gets points "docked" from it. That would be a really silly way to review a game.Game reviews aren't mathematical logarithms. They are the result of an experience that makes an impression on the mental and emotional superhighway of the game reviewer. I don't have a spreadheet that starts with a 10 and has calculations built in, where "low frame rate" = a .25 hit to the score. It doesn't work that way, and thank God for that.
