several others have said they can't do a monthly game so what if it was like this...  4 games a year per system but offset.  multiconsole owners can join for multiple systems if you want to do more than 4 a year but slow pokes like me don't feel over pressured either if i only do sony games. so:

a nintendo game kicks off in: january, april, july, october.

a sony game kicks off in: feburary, may, august, november.

a ms game kicks off in: march, june, september, december

 

..or some varient thereof.  we should probably make room for multiplats too.  hrmm.

I like this premise a lot. It allows everyone to have a few months. And those who have all systems can participate every month, if they so choose.

@everyone: what do you think of kitler's idea? Also, how should the games be selected within each month? Majority rules? Or should every member get to pick a game of his/her choice in order?


I think this is a good idea, but seeing how I play fewer console games than I used to I wonder if there's room for PC games anywhere. I have a feeling it'd be a little too crowded.

The logistics of this are probably the biggest sticking point; what games are selected and how. Giving the participants a stake in the process without defeating the purpose of the idea will be...difficult.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

And what are you waiting for? Go purchase it!

This sounds neat.

But why limit this to 1 game during 1 period of time? Seeing how people like different types of games on different systems, why not have a few of these things running simultneously...?

They'd have to be in separate threads, of course, to avoid cluttering up of posts and confusion. You could, say, have a thread for Titanfall on X1, another for Donkey Kong on Wii U, another for Infamous on PS4, and yet another for a PC game. Maybe a fifth one for some smaller indie title, or a multiplatform or handheld game?

I don't know, just throwing my point of view out there.

The Wii U isn't worth it yet, will likely buy one later this year or next.

I like this idea. Count me in. Though I can't promise i'll beat a game in certain time.

Systems: Wii, PS2, Saturn, Genesis, Master System II (it must be somewhere) and a crappy PC. Plus a PS1 with the lens broken and a Dreamcast with reset problems.

I'm in. Sounds like fun.

PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3, PS4, PC.

I love the idea. Not sure if I have enough free time.

But still great idea.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

A month is more than enough I think, but how would this work when a lot of people might only be dedicated to one console or another.

I'm in. Anything Sony, Nintendo, or Sega past generations except Wii.  Portables included.
