Neopets a Video Game Hall of Fame Finalist

[Ian Wolf-Park]

I wasn't sure if this was the right place, but seeing as it is partially Neopets related, it might be best. Anyways, Neopets is one of the finalists for this years Hall of Fame.

The site has some tough competition, though, as it's going up against heavyweights such as Metroid and Resident Evil


Additionally, you can vote for Neopets as a Player's Choice ballot

... You know, considering some of the games on here, I have to question this voting method. Quite a few of these games should ALREADY be in a video game HALL OF FAME. And then I looked at the inductee list they have and I see, among games I expect to be on a Hall of Fame list, they have The Last Of Us and Barbie Fashion Designer. Don't get me wrong, TLOU is a great game (no idea about Barbie) and I'm sure both do have their place in history, but to be put in a Video Game Hall of Fame before Asteroids, Metroid, MYST, Resident Evil, Sim City, and Ultima? REALLY? Heck, I'd probably consider Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, & Tokimeki Memorial before TLOU. This is supposed to be a Hall of Fame, not a popularity contest. Or at the very least they should have WAY more inductees.

Now, as for Neopets chance... heh, I don't know. I don't consider Neopets a video game, I consider Neopets part of Internet/Web History. Also, at the very least, they could have used one of the actual Neopets video games like PS2's The Darkest Faerie.

Fame is a state of popularity, though. XD
