Hey crackdude, interesting ideas!
Given George and I are currently doing the developer months and theme weeks, additional weekly blog posts for a game of the month could be a bit much. But I am totally for the idea of a game of the month/week on the forums - and it doesn't necessarily need to be tied to the overriding theme months/weeks.
If enough forum members are up for it, we could give it a shot. Would you or another forum member want to take the lead? My thought was somebody chooses a game, that game is the week/month's game, members play it that week (or they simply would have had to have played it in the past) and share their thoughts on it in a dedicated thread. Then the following week/month another member picks a game. Thoughts?
