The former rules for picking the game:

1. Must be available on one of the following platforms:
   • PC
   • PS3/PS4
   • Wii (inc. Virtual Console)
2. The selection rotation is as follows:
   • Mike
   • Ting
   • Community (later on.. hopefully..)
3. Offer a choice of two, and the other picks one.
4. No repeat picks.
5. Alternative editions of the same game are considered the same, i.e. the original version and the GOTY version are considered the same.
6. Can specify the edition/version to be played.
7. Can specify certain game notes to hit, e.g.
   • Must start from the beginning.
   • Must play the multiplayer component, or a particular game mode.
   • Can specify DLC content.
8. Early access games/betas are allowed.
9. A minimum commitment of 20 hours gameplay expected (covering four podcasts).
10. Shorter games will cover fewer podcasts (assume five hours to a podcast).
