There is no such thing as "second party." If a game is being published by the first party, its a first party game. If its being published by the third party, its a third party game. Its acceptable as a slang term for games developed by third parties and published by first parties, or for the third party developers in such a close-knit relationship. But these cases are fairly rare (get it?), and you should still list the games as either first or third. At the least, most of those 17 games listed as "second party" are third party titles. MGS? FF? KH? Tales? Could leave in a second if the developers so chose. Until you've seen footage of a game, don't bank on it.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
