Haven't listened to the songs yet, but this seems interesting.

Listened, there are a ton that I recognize but very few that I just actually put a face to.

Just after a preliminary listen through, this seems a lot easier than previous months.

5, initially. I'm sure that number will increase, assuming I put the effort into it. But Game Over themes is somewhere I'm just going to get annihilated unless I really kill a lot of time searching (which I might do in my stubborn pursuit of a Top 5 overall placement). Just not a category I was ever going to do well in.

I got 7 of them right away. Then I got two 'i think these sound familiar' ones.

Go away Kleenex.

Hmmm... I knew 8 of these for sure, about 4 of them were really damn familiar, and there's one I think I know the series but not which game.

I got the first 11, and then nothing after.

Hey, that was my initial listen. Give me a couple days and I'll probably have some more.

This might be hard. Even with a lot of games I've played I've never heard the Game Over music.

Well, I'm doing slightly better now, and unless I just become totally incompetent (which has happened in past contests) I may yet put together a respectable entry. Still think this category is my natural enemy though. >_>

I'm at like eight but there are a lot of series I've never touched so I'm not surprised.

12 out of 25 so far for me. A few others I recognize but I just can't place the game name...

This contest is easier than the previous two.

You should nudge a Lead. Have them sticky the topic so you don't have to fill it up with bumps. *gets out an iron* Oo

*starts ironing*

There... all better.

Or lose their right to become a gamer, for that matter.

I have...7. I told you Game Over themes would be my death knell, but one is sooo catchy.

Okay, I guess I have to retract my prediction of doom. Sheer stubbornness and determination might yet pull me through this contest. Currently at 15.

Anyone who misses #8 must sacrifice their childhood.

Anyways, I might pull for the Top 10 if I can mark down a few more. Just a few more to go...

May have gotten 13, but not entirely sure on one of them.

I think I have 22, though I'm not entirely 100% sure of every one of them (though I am fairly confident). I'd like to think that means I won't be denied a Top 3 finish this time around, but we'll see.

I'm pretty sure that's going to be the case for me regarding #20. I know I can get that, but it just wasn't happening. Same with #25 to a lesser extent.

#20 was one that sounded vaguely familiar to me, but 21, 23, and 24 I think I'm going to feel very bad about missing.

#21 rounds out the three I don't have (unless my guesses somehow turned out right) and of the three, it's the one I was least comfortable with figuring out, though even there I feel maybe I should have gotten it too.

Okay, it's over now.

Like I said, I'm not entirely 100% sure on all of these, though it's mostly version differences that might have tripped me up, I think, if anything. Here's the 22 I'm pretty sure I have though.

3. Tetris
4. The Legend of Zelda
5. Sonic the Hedgehog

15. Pokemon Trading Card Game
16. Gears of War 2
17. Tales of Graces
18. Batman
19. Secret of Mana
