Pop GO’s Official ‘Fan Favorite’ Tournament Bracket

Fan Favorite, our version of March Madness, officially begins today and will run all throughout the month of March!

32 of our staff’s personal favorite characters from 2011-2012 will battle it out in a 20-day, 5-round tournament. Each day you will have the opportunity to vote on match-ups between two characters and can help send one into the next round. Only 1 can be crowned champion when the dust clears on March 31, and they can only be crowned by YOU, our readers.

As you can see from our official Fan Favorite bracket above (view higher resolution), 16 Geek characters are lined up on the left and 16 Otaku characters are lined up on the right*. One character from each side will meet in a Geek vs. Otaku final to decide Pop GO’s ultimate Fan Favorite.

*Some video game characters were eligible as both Geek and Otaku.

Help decide the fate of these characters all month long!

I’m predicting Female Shepard meets Link in the Finals, with the Mass Effect 3 heroine scoring the upset.

Who you got?

A day in the life of a Shy Guy. I freaking LOVE Shy Guy and I’m not sure why I haven’t done comix about him until now. There are some small animated bits if you feel like hitting the Hi-Res.

Left 4 Dead presents: The Sacrifice

Valve has recently put out the first of a four-part comic called “The Sacrifice.” Each online installment will come out weekly, leading up to the release of a DLC of the same name for Xbox 360, PC, and Mac (Oct. 5). This arc follows the original Left 4 Dead characters after the military saves our heroes. The final chapter is in your hands as it is continued in the DLC.

A good read if you liked the first L4D game and characters.
