Nick's List - 16th June

I have decided to create "Nick's List" - a periodic post by me which contains a list of upcoming vidyas of interest to myself and therefore The Council. Why?

• So that I, Nicholas, can post on the blog about something semi-meaningful
• Because it is genuinely difficult to keep track of all the good upcoming games sometimes
• It acts as a forum of discussion (comments on my updated lists) about the vidyas, coherently between all Council members
  

The list will be sorted into tiers which indicate the potential for gaming excellence - as judged by myself, with welcome influence from others - for each vidya on the list. The tiers will be like so:

Zeus Tier (Z) > God Tier (G) > Demi-god Tier (D) > Messiah Tier (M)

Each tier will have a tier-leader title for the top ranked vidya in that tier, respectively:

Zeus > Athena > Hercules > Jesus
(I am aware that Jesus cannot technically coexist with the ancient Greek gods by the strictest principles of theism, but too bad.
>implying that any of them exist anyway, except for Hercules)

Be prepared for these titles and associated tier-leader titles to progressively change should I find them inadequate during the ranking process. In addition, I will attempt to rank the vidyas within each tier. The number of entries in each tier will not be set-in-stone, because, particularly in times of vidya drought, I might feel it unjust to promote relatively mediocre vidyas into the higher tiers, purely because of a lack of truly deserving ones.

Every time I play a vidya on the list after it's release, I will remove it from the list and then write a brief summary about it - less of a review than just a general flavour as to whether or not it fulfilled it's great expectations, in the minds of myself and the wider Council.

Finally, it might be hip to have other official Council lists, such as Greatest Vidyas of All Time and Greatest Films of All Time, as voted by the most members. I won't make them though. Someone else should be in charge of them, if indeed there exists anyone else who has enough time and also the desire to overcategorize such things into pretentious lists. Comment if you think I'm a dickhead and shouldn't do this list at all, but please state the reason for which you are mad though.

Sans your disapproval, expect the virginal list within a week of this post date.
