This is the seventh in a series of video game tournaments to determine the best video game of all time (according to the Avocado)!
Because this is such a broad category, and because of the difficulty in comparing, say, arcade games from the 70s with AAA games from last year, the tournaments are split up by generation. These generations will roughly follow popular console generations, mainly because PC games don’t have comparable splits.
The seventh generation is the Current Years. This will be the penultimate in the series of Best Video Game Tournaments — there will be one final tournament including the top-voted games of all previous rounds.
This tournament covers the newest generation of games, and so the rules are simpler than previous tournaments: anything first released past 2012 is eligible.
Important Rules Note: There was a lot of confusion last time over allowing dual-release PS3/PS4 games (and similar) to take part in the last tournament, and people were unsure if they should vote for them or not. As a result, I’m allowing those games to get a second chance here, since this generation is really where they belong.
