(4)Half-Life 2 vs (13)Demon's Souls 2015

Ulti's Analysis
There's very little to say about this match, outside of the actual result being rather predictable. Predictable match plus no trends in a 64-36 match makes for a pretty easy writeup, which is nice to have once in awhile!

This entire fourpack was clearly set up to have a big Metroid Prime/Half-Life 2 rematch, and when Allen released the top 20 games in terms of picks to win the contest, Half-Life 2 was in 20th place with 104 picks. Metroid Prime did not make the list. Prediction percentage also lined up with Half-Life 2 while vote totals were rather even in round 1, so the major comparison point is whether you thought Demon's Souls or Morrowind was the stronger game.

Personally I don't think any of this really mattered, since we have a rematch precedent where we almost never see the first-time loser turn it around. But we'll get to that in round 2.
