A Game of the Week Club for 2014?

[SamIAm]

So be it!

January 15 - 21 -- Battle Royale
January 22 - 28 -- Drop Rock

I like the variety.

Keep 'em coming. I'll add a game myself after the first four or five weeks have been decided.

[roflmao]

Gah!  I don't have either on of those!

Howabout something more common and enticing next time around like Legendary Axe (I or II), Blazing Lazers, or Military Madness?

Maybe they aren't as common as the ones previously listed.  I'd be interested in knowing!

Maybe throw in a Bonk game early on?  Most folks ought to have one of them.

[SamIAm]

Which of those would you like to have for week three? Please choose one.

On one hand, I can understand wanting to go with only "greatest hits" stuff, but on the other hand, I can appreciate choosing games that most of us would never really think to play on our own. Even if they aren't great games *cough*Battle Royale*cough* we can still talk about them and try to beat them.

It's all good to me. Drop Rock actually looks really fun, too.

[munchiaz]

Really like the idea. I did this with a facebook group about a year back and it was a lot of fun. Ill have to pick up those 2 games. So if anyone knows where they can be purchases please post a link

There's one Drop Rock on ebay now.

There's also plenty of Battle Royales available if you search, and they're all pretty cheap.

Since I'm in Japan, I can swing by my favorite game shop tomorrow and see if there's an extra Drop Rock or two there. There are a few on yahoo Japan right now too, and for reasonable prices.

Just be aware that I presently take payment only in Cheetos.

so, if we have drop OFF, will that count?  or it must be the game that is chosen?
So if it's a PCE game, can we play the US counterpart (or vice-versa)?  Or is that shunned upon for this?

just askin'...

[SamIAm]

LOL, I didn't even know that there was a US version of that one.

Of course it's OK! This is for everyone to have fun, and nothing more.

I think it's a good idea to play games that aren't super popular, but I don't think that games like Battle Royale should be chosen as it is intended to be played by several humans at once.

I propose Silent Debuggers. I've been meaning to play that one for years.

[galam]

^^ Great choice. I can get behind that one.

[SamIAm]

Let's go ahead with Battle Royale. If we second-guess one game choice, we'll wind up second-guessing a lot more, and I'd like to avoid that. Besides, it's cheap and very available, and it does have a short one player mode.

What would you guys say to Bonk's Adventure for week three (credited to roflmao)? That gives us a solid A game nice and early on, and another one that's fairly easy to get. Then we could do Silent Debuggers (credited to vestcoat) for week four.

I feel bad for making everyone play Drop Rock/Drop Off, but we'll play the damn game AND HAVE FUN sharing our experiences

Who knows? Maybe it isn't that bad...




As for Battle Royale, I think there a few people here who have squeezed a few moments of fun from it. I spent more time with this game, back in the day, but all I remember doing is mashing buttons (and taunting other players with each wrestler's "catch phrase").... Executing moves should, theoretically, be more engaging. Time to open the Battle Royale manual and learn those moves.

I actually gave Drop Rock a spin on my everdrive just to get a preview. I think anyone who enjoys breakout will be able to enjoy Drop Rock, definitely.

There is hope.
