2011 Together Retro calender

[noiseredux]

based on user suggestions in this thread, and another thread from a few months ago, this is the list that Fastbilly and I put together. What is the generally feeling on this one, especially about the order of genres (pacing, etc)?

Jan - RPG
Feb - Fighter
Mar - FPS
Apr - Adventure
May - Puzzle
Jun - Shmup
Jul - Racing
Aug - Platform
Sep - Sim
Oct - Baseball
Nov - Strategy (TBS or RTS?)
Dec - Party

anybody else have any thoughts?

I love it that I recommended party and it's there When it's October, why does it have to be Baseball; I'm not that big of a Baseball fan. Also, what do you mean by sim?

Luke suggested Baseball for October (to coincide with baseball IRL) a while back. We figured we did horror-themed for October two years in a row, so maybe switch it up. A lot of us may not be sports fans, so the thinking is that maybe Together Retro would be an excuse to try a genre that we would normally ignore.

Genres like "Sim" or "Party" leave things vague enough to be open to interpretation. So I guess we'll see....

Baseball only if it's the Cube's Mario Superstar Baseball or one of the NES games. As much as I love baseball, the video games are mostly crap in my opinion.

Yeah, but of all the other sports, baseball? maybe we should decide it in a poll?

If we do sports, baseball would get my vote. We did basketball this year, and while I like all sports, people tend to pay the most attention to baseball in late September/early October.

That said, I like horror games in October and just because it has been done doesn't mean we have to stop. Tradition has its place! I'd vote for baseball in September.

Otherwise I don't have a problem with your proposal Noise - it is fairly close to my own. I'd happily get rid of the sim and/or strategy if we had to cut something. I don't like those genres much (and tend to associate them with one another). I'd rather sub one out for a beat em up or a run n gun.

I like that schedule. I was going to ask what was meant by "sim" as well. Are we talking SimCity or 688 Attack Sub?

I feel kinda left out with baseball, its not exactly a sport popular over here in Europe land. Could we not do something popular on both sides of the pond, Like Tennis, or Golf?

I'd also like some clarification on what constitutes a 'sim'.

Turn Based Strategy is my choice for the strategy month btw.

Sir, I don't know where you're getting your info, but no one in the U.S. likes golf. People play it to torture themselves after a long week of work because otherwise they go through withdrawal.
