May 2002: Final Fontasy

How much do you pay attention to the way things are written, as opposed to what is written? How well are the styles of certain game titles embedded in your mind after seeing the titles on the boxes time and time again?

Let's find out.

On the next page, there are twenty-six letters, A through Z, taken from 26 the main titles on the front cover of 26 PlayStation2, GameCube, and Xbox games. All you have to do is identify the game.

With 2798 valid entries and an average score of 13.68, there were a total of 115 perfect scores, from people who managed to get all 26 answers correct. So, it all came down to the tiebreaker, and the 5 people who picked 14 as their tiebreaker got to settle things in a free-for-all bloodbath. Actually, it was settled by the order of their entries, as laid out in the contest rules.

The top five, in order, were: Ramsey Z, Robert Goode, Joe Negron, Jonathan Point-Du-Jour, and Geoff Johns. The three random winners were Whitney G, William Pilgrim, and Morgan Atkinson.
