Fallout 3 and Halo 3 close Round One quietly |
|
✓ |

|
Fallout 3 and Halo 3 advanced in a nearly perfect staircase, making the final first-round match one of the contest's least eventful. The shared Xbox and genre-heavy field produced very little movement.
LFF: The writeup attributes some of Mass Effect's weak showing to overlap with fellow Western RPG Fallout 3 in an unusually homogeneous field.

|
Metal Gear Solid 4 and Fallout 3 advanced in an orderly match with little suspense, while Portal briefly made the lower positions interesting. The writeup treats it mainly as a quiet setup for later rounds.

|
Brawl decisively reversed its close Game of the Year history with Metal Gear Solid 4 and dominated the divisional final. The writeup treats the result as final proof that Brawl's contest strength was legitimate.

Fallout 3 opens Game of the Decade with authority |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fallout 3 opened the Game of the Decade contest with a dominant win and immediately established itself as a serious entry. The writeup notes the unusual absence of Nintendo from the traditional opening slot.

Fallout 3 restores order against Deus Ex |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fallout 3 crushed first-round upset winner Deus Ex and restored the expected hierarchy. The writeup briefly entertains SFF as a possibility but ultimately treats Deus Ex as simply weak and focuses on Fallout's strong daytime profile.

Batman validates itself in a respectable Fallout loss |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fallout 3 beat Batman without suspense, but Batman's respectable showing reinforced the writeup's view that Arkham Asylum was a genuinely strong new entrant. The match mattered more for Batman's validation than for the winner.

Fallout 3 delivers its first fully convincing statement |
|
|

|
|
|
The poll disappeared entirely for the opening hour, but the eventual match gave Fallout 3 its first clear statement against a proven contest game. The writeup treats the result as the moment serious upset talk against Fallout largely died.

Fallout 3 survives Prime in a timing-sensitive quarterfinal |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fallout 3 survived a strong Metroid Prime challenge, with the writeup again arguing that match timing may have changed the outcome. The recent New Vegas release is also cited as a plausible boost for Fallout.

|
Fallout 3 gives Brawl a major semifinal warning |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fallout 3 performed far better against Brawl than the writeup expected and resisted even Brawl's normally dominant daytime strength. The result is framed as an excellent loss and as evidence of growing voter fatigue with Nintendo and Square dominance.

Undertale spillover exposes Fallout 3's rally vulnerability |

|
Fallout 3 was cruising on the release day of Fallout 4 until Undertale rally spillover suddenly made Life is Strange much stronger. The winner remained safe, but the late bleed exposed how vulnerable Fallout could be to outside traffic.
Rally: The writeup says Undertale's simultaneous outside rally spilled into this poll and directly shifted votes toward Life is Strange, sharply reducing Fallout 3's percentage without threatening the result.

|
Fallout 3 looked safe for most of the match before Undertale's rally transformed the poll into a historic comeback and then a decisive win. The result launched the rally momentum that would dominate the rest of the contest.
Rally: The writeup says Undertale's massive outside rally erased Fallout 3's huge lead in only a few hours and continued accelerating after taking first.

What this is
Each row's Headline and (on filter) narrative come from a
ChatGPT reading of that match's Board 8 wiki writeup. The five flags
(SFF same-fanbase factor, LFF low-fanbase
factor, Rally outside rally, Cheat cheating
alleged, Pic match-picture factor) are set only when the writeup
asserts that effect — never inferred from the numbers. Hover a check for the
note. †OT marks a writeup that mostly wanders off the
match.
