We're at the end of this polling series, and with it, the last of my polls... for the time being. For all of you who have stuck around for many of these polls, thank you! You gave me some much-needed support throughout this series.
For all those who hated these polls, I hope you can at least look to these graphics and find something new to enjoy or finally get around to playing that one title you keep overlooking. Regardless, I worked extra hard to give everyone here something to be proud of.
Special thanks to u/JeskaiJester for getting the list of winners in text form for you all to peruse. Those should be in the comments shortly.
Again, thank you for the support and please use these images however you'd like. They are just as much yours as they are mine.

RULES ON VOTING:
A game's votes will come from the comment with the highest number of upvotes. I will tally all of the responses and upvotes under each game's "comment thread" and use that to count the votes.
Spill-over comments of the same game will not be counted.
What this means is if you want to nominate a game and see someone else has already nominated it, reply to their comment so that it counts! All upvotes in that comment thread, including the ones you get, will be counted towards the tally.
Thank you!

I've also gone ahead and made graphics for the top four slots of each game category! Take a look and soak in all of the Xbox 360 greats!
I also just wanted to say thank you to all of you for making this so fun and exciting. And for indulging me in this artsy endeavor! I hope you enjoy these graphics as much I enjoyed making them; these are just as much yours as they are mine.
The 360 was the first HD console I owned, and so many of the games that helped shape my gaming interest, or even disinterests, were found on this console. I remember the first time I loaded up Battlefield 2 and was just mesmerized with the first level and the motion blur. Literally, I spent so much time just moving the right stick around and being left in awe.
So, please, keep those 360s alive and thriving. Keep playing these games, and also use these images however you see

Today’s vote: Which Game has the Best Animations that started on Xbox 360?
Comment your choice and the most upvoted game comment thread will win the spot! So engage in the discourse and argue well for your choice!
I've recently picked up my Wii again after some time and am hardpressed to think this isn't one of the most impressive consoles to have released. No it doesn't play DVDs natively, or stream any apps (anymore), but the console is king when it comes to retro gaming.
Take the Virtual Console games: They span all previous home console generations of Nintendo hardware plus a few from the competition (Neo Geo, Genesis, TurboGrafx). So, many give you hours of fun and little cost to you. And if you get an early model Wii, you can gain access to the Gamecube's library of game.
I don't know if you've all checked, but GCs go for double or triple the price of Wii's these days, but the Wii is overall more capable.
When I look on Craigslist, I can purchase a Wii for about $20-$70 depending on the seller and bundle.
Anyway, if you wanted to get back into Retro games on a budget with acheap or free CRT, the Wii is your best bet.
What do you all think?
So, I keep wanting to revisit Skies of Arcadia and actually beat the game. But I keep getting stuck choosing between the Dreamcast and GC versions of the game. I have both consoles and the means to play this one, and do prefer playing on original hardware.
I like the novelty of the Dreamcast but the encounter rate sounds brutal. What do you all think I should run with? Which is your preferred method of play?
