It's a great idea! But I'm not sure if I play enough to finish one game a month, not consistently at least. But I would give it a try depending on what kind of games we are talking about.
Also we could have separate clubs for each platform, that way we aren't restricted to multiplats.

Great idea!

Would these sub-groups each have a game every month? Or would members cycle on and off as the games change?


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?

Squeezol's Fanclub Member? is that how it works?

Why can't I hold all these no gaemz?

Always looking to improve my awful drawings ;_; 

What generation of games will we play? or does it not matter?

By the way, I love the idea, Veknoid

Thanks, Wright  

And thanks to all of you guys/gals for your interest.

I'd prefer that we play games from all generations. 

One of the things I want to get out of this is for us to discover games we missed or wouldn't normally play. Break us out of our comfort zone a little.

What do you think?

I'm perfectly fine with the idea of breaking out of our comfort zone, however it does make me worry that some of the games might be awful and a waste of time.

I was just wondering how'd I get the games lol.

Fair point. Maybe we should start off with modern games and see where it goes?

Virtual Console, XBLA, and the PS Store will be helpful with some legacy games.
