Nintendo and Mojang and then Mojang and Team Ico, and then Mojang and Valve, and then Valve and Bioware.
Mojang: They have one game to their name, and they're already taking on the biggest out there.

I don't think I get this March Mayhem business given that the two combatants left to fight for all the glory is Bethesda VS Game Freak.

I may amend my preditions if I ever want to win.

Look at the bracket closely, Zynga can't be in the final 4 until they beat Blizzard, because they are in the same division. With what Zynga did last year, people need to rally against them and get out the vote for Cryptic. I don't care if people don't like Cryptic, there is nobody more hated in the realm of gaming than Zynga.
I dunno, I think we need naughty dog to kick them out.
Nah, Cryptic beats Zynga because there will be an early preemptive strike against Zynga. Then Naughty Dog beats Cryptic, and Naughty Dog gets beat by Square Enix, Blizzard beats Square Enix and BioWare beats Blizzard and then in the rematch of BioWare vs Valve, BioWare takes it from Valve this time.

Edit: I compared our brackets and there are only 8 differences between them. We actually have the same final four, and winner.

I was gonna say, that sounds surprisingly similar. I guess you'll get second place! :p

We'll I'd be happy with 8 wrong answers, but still getting the winner right, since I only had 9 wrong answers last year and got the winner.

I'm just going to do it randomly except for Relic.

They will go all the way, no matter what.
Interesting, I did put that Relic makes it to round three. But I had to be real and have them getting beat by Valve.

But, BioWare has to go all the way........so I can get back to back wins on choosing the Mayhem winner.
I'd feel terrible if they had to verse Valve, hopefully Blizzard goes head to head with Relic again.

Ah well, my faith is strong.

Blizzard vs. Relic again?

Did they go up against each other in an MM I wasn't here for?

Because my first MM was last year, since I was new to the community only a few months before it started, but I still have a picture of my bracket and the official turn out bracket from last year, and Relic and Blizzard were in two different divisions and they never met. Also, if they had it would have been in the final four and not the finals.

I put Valve and Bioware in the finals like I did last year and since it turned out that way last year. I felt it would be interesting to see a rematch, and that I would be on BioWare's side instead of Valve like last time.

The toughest choice is deciding between which studio you want to win, and which one you know will win (and therefore award you more points).

I biased my way through it! *stands triumphantly* I just picked which developer made games I liked the most. I ended up with Bioware vs. Team Ico...now THAT was a hard decision, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be Bioware.

I see, and your language is just fine. I like speaking in a Ye Olde tongue every once in awhile. My favorite use of Ye Olde is from some behind the scenes footage I have of David Tennant on location for the Doctor Who episode "The Shakespearean Code". He goes around saying Ye Olde about everything:

Ye Olde sign, Ye Olde crates, and Ye Olde horse manure.

Back to the Escapist, I joined last year and my first comment was on Yahtzee's year end review. I said something about possibly buying Batman: Arkham Asylum, though that ended up never happening.

Then March Mayhem happened and I got caught up in it all. I think my post count went from 30 something to close to 500 during the Mayhem.

And this year mine should rise in a similar fashion too! Oh how do I love MM. I can't wait until the 14th >.>

I came out with the final being Guerrila vs Bethesda, I like Bethesda's games better but I worked with Guerrila studio in Amsterdam for a while. I did some of the sound effects in Killzone 3 if your wondering. So I kinda had to give the cake to Guerrila

I don't quite get the point of March Madness... I filled one out, but do we win some shiny badge for winning?

Yeah it was really hard, but I'm a little ashamed to admit that I just sorta shot through it really quickly when I couldn't decide.
