Oh come on matt, it's not like we were doing exactly what you told us to stop doing....




We need to get some more organization going rather than OMG THIS GAME and OMG Ill OWNZ Y00z
Hmm, ahh, okay, so maybe we were.

Edit-

So far we have several games that people are interested in seeing.

Rockband
Guitar Hero 3
Burnout
Wii-fit/sports/play
Mario Party
Mario Kart (in SOME format)
Goldeneye

I'm thinking one from each would suffice, my guess is one racing, one Wii-themed, mebbe an FPS of some sort, and one of the guitar type games. It has seemed to be determined that Mario Party will be used to determine the overall winner from the last two teams standing.

My Vote would be for Guitar Hero 3, Wii Sports, Mario Kart, and Goldeneye.

Reasoning:
GH3 Because Its the game a number of people have, and also cross-platform so those with only x360 or Wii can still have played it.

Wii Sports is good fun, and resonably easy to get the hang of.

Mario Kart because, well, its Mario Kart, I'm willing to bet most have played it. For those that havent its a real easy game to pickup and get the hang of without learning proper drifting techniques.

Finally Goldeneye, best FPS Console game ever IMO, its classic, pretty easy and tons of fun.

Another game that NEEDS to be there (if we are tossing in retro games) and that I have is Tecmo Super Bowl. I will murder you all at it, and you will love it.

Also, rockband>guitar hero, up to 4 people at once, it's really fun.

How about the overall structure? I do like the idea of teams, like the real olympics, because that way, even if someone sucks ass at a game (I've played Goldeneye maybe 4 times evar) the team can be competitive overall.

Once we get the list of games narrowed down (I think 4-5 is a good number), then maybe we can get a list of for-sure participants, and start to figure out how we can set up some evenly-matched teams. Perhaps, each person could rank the games we are using from 1-5 in order of their adeptness at each game. That would give us a start at being able to put teams together. From that point, I say it would be up to the individual team to strategize practices and sub-teams (for coop games), etc.

Another consideration for games: ones that have multiple possible "events" would be a plus. For example, different levels or gameplay styles. One-on-one and coop modes, etc.

If it is an olympic style event, we need some sort of fighting game... *cough* capcom vs snk 2*cough*.

Right. Using me as an example- i'd say a 5 @ Wii sports (have you seen me dominate bowling?) a 2 at Goldeneye ( I can't stand that fucking game) 5 at Burnout (I've beaten every Burnout. EVER.) 4-5 @ Mario Party (I can whup ass at strategy, but sometimes lack at mini-games) a 2-3 @ GH, mebbe a 2 since i've never played GH3 for more than 10 minutes. Put the ranks up, set captains, and call it!

The next asshat that posts OMG THIS GAME is getting the uncle morty treatment!!! :D

In all honesty though, ranking yourself on each game might work out, but we need to get a Set list of games first to do that!

Hater... You do need a fighting game though.

Mortal Kombat does sound pretty fun, I owned MK2 back in the day. But we really need to try and limit the list. And we can have more than one of these switching the games up for future tournaments.

Charge THIS!!
one racing, one FPS, WiiSports, GH3 (which i have yet to play btw), and one fighting. One game from each main genre.

but we also need a witness present from one of the other teams to make sure that there is no cheating going on.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. We need some sort of setup to prevent people from trying too many do-overs on games that are not direct battles.
