Just because a game is "bad" doesn't mean it's not enjoyable, interesting or have its place in video gaming history. There are a lot of "bad" games out there that I enjoy a lot.
A bad game can be enjoyable, but I'm not sure I fancy playing one for a whole month.
The reason I didn't nominate anything like that is, you play a game from like one year of a series and it gets old pretty quick. I'd rather a game that you can stick with for more than a week. THPS 2 was great because it had good length. I like the racing games we've picked because again, they'll last a while.
I don't really follow... if we were to pick something like Madden for instance, you have a whole season to get through in a month.
I just think sports games are boring. Also, a lot of them aren't very good at crossing borders - not only do most europeans not give a shit about basketball, american football and baseball, but actually, a lot of the games arent that easy to find here, and particularly with the older ones, never came out here at all. I get annoyed that we always try to choose cheap and widely ported games but that we've chosen games that weren't released in PAL region a few times now.
If we do go sports, I'd like to request its a sports game thats easy to find both sides of the Atlantic.
