Player's Choice: Top Ten Classic Game Animations

When these self-proclaimed experts unveiled their hodgepodge of Square's morbid CGs, Microsoft’s commercial blockbusters, and Kojima’s parody films, they were predictably met with fierce backlash from enraged gamers.

With their heads full of bumps, the editors came up with a way to make amends: simply hand over the voting rights to this unruly mob. Below are the results of the vote, with comments in quotes from GameSpy.
