Januarys Games:
Night in the Woods (PC/PS4/XB1)
Banjo-Kazooie (N64/360/XB1)
Suikoden II (PS/PS3/Vita/PSP)
Sonic CD (Genesis/Sega CD/PC/360/PS3/PS2/GC/Android/iOS/PSP/Ouya/others?)


What is Game of the Month Club?
Game of the Month is a community project open to all B8ers where users share, discover, play and/or discuss a select few games every month. The games featured each month are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck)

The Basics
- Each month will feature three games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated
- For each game you beat, you get a cool point on our just-for-fun standings as well as a nomination for next month's randomized drawing
- In order to receive the point and nomination, you must beat said game within the calendar month
- If you beat one of the current month's games in the previous month, you can apply for a "recently beaten waiver," but you will only receive a point and no nomination should you do so
- Drawing for next month's games is usually around a week before the end of the month
- If you periodically keep us posted on your progress and/or talk about different aspects of the games, then everyone will think you are super awesome!

Nomination Rules
- You get one nomination automatically each month
- You can receive up to three more nominations in a month for each chosen game that you beat
- Each game you nominate has to be different from both your and other users' noms and cannot include a game that has already been selected for GotM
- Each game must be a standalone game that can be acquired and played on its own (aka cannot be DLC/expansion that requires the base game)
- Nominations only carry over if you beat a chosen game after the drawing for next month's games but before the end of the month

That was surprisingly quick! I've been playing a lot of long RPGs lately so it felt really weird to beat a game in like 2 hours

Already several hours into Night in the Woods. It's interesting; not really my kind of game, but the characters are kind of interesting. The writing is solid for dialogue but poor when it gets to moments of deeper characterization.

Default nomination: Gladius

1 is pretty cliche now, and characters arent very customizable, but its still enjoyable.

2 is at least an order of magnitude better on all fronts

Well, I spent most of the last two days of my vacation playing Night in the Woods. It really grew on me over the course of the game. I guess I put in about 15 hours in the end. The real gem of the game was Gregg. Best character.

Played the GameCube version. Nice little snowy afternoon game and certainly one of the craziest 2D Sonic games. I might get Sonic Mania now.

I'll join in on the Banjo-Kazooie rankings when I finish replaying it. Just finished up Freezeezy Peak.

I also got around to getting a PS4, so I've just begun playing Night in the Woods, and I'm really enjoying it so far.

Since I've got an extra nomination, I'll choose Chrono Cros and Demon's Souls as my first two picks.
