There was a lot of curiosity about how Skyrim would do after its dominant GotY performance a few years earlier. Unfortunately, it got a tough situation right off the bat to make it look as bad as possible. First off, it got the Board 8 mascot series, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, as its 16 seed. Secondly, it had to deal with some residual rally spillover from the day before, and it seemed to favor PW. It only had 53% at the freeze, and even after a massive rise to get a doubling, this felt like a disappointment. It was hard to envision it having a chance against Mario 64 down the line.

There was also some interest surrounding GoldenEye and finally seeing what it could really do in a one-on-one setting. GoldenEye > Skyrim was Ngamer's upset special pick for this contest, and while Skyrim looked vulnerable, GoldenEye didn't appear to be the one poised to take advantage of it. It was hard to imagine Skyrim being that close to Diablo II.
