Twenty-three more candidates than last season!

Good games fall into a variety of categories. Here are a few candidates from each of the potential list, but feel free to make your pitch for any others! I’ll link over to the SnakePit recap for each game, so you can refresh your memory. The usual rules apply, which for those of you with short memories, is as follows:

  • Go to the comments section.
  • If your choice is already mentioned there, give it a “rec”.
  • If your choice is NOT mentioned, provide the player’s name and date and make your pitch for it, as a new comment.
  • Duplicate nominations will get deleted.
  • On Wednesday, I’ll tally up the recs, and use those as a guide towards a list of five or so nominees.
