Am I really the first to suggest an FPS? Have we ever done one?
goooooood call on FPS DSH!! I concur actually. Can't believe I forgot.
FPS is a good call, how'd that get missed for so long? I like the idea of doing a RPG in January too, should be a good fit for the weather and school schedules. I tried to come up with some new ideas mainly for my list, I don't even have games in mind for some of them. Here's what I've got.
Jan: RPG Feb: Visual Novel Mar: FPS Apr: old and new (2 game in a series with a generation gap like Metal Gear nes/MGS or SMB/Mario64) May:Puzzle Jun: Sports Jul: Action adventure/rpg Aug: Shmup (possibly a couple games focused on a company or scoring mechanic instead of just 1 game) Sep: Rom hack Oct: Survival Horror Nov: Licensed game Dec: RTS
Another aspect. Instead of just popular well known games, Maybe a couple Hidden Gems months? Discovery of playing some hidden classics that didn't go mainstream, maybe shed new light of game play?
We should have a month for crappy games based on TV shows and/or movies. I call Gilligan's Island!

The original Rainbow Six for FPS?
