Four votes in polls of 7 is essentially a "kill the games you don't think should win" round, and I'm OK with it, because it leads to juicy winners. I'm still going to keep my voting trim:

1. Pokémon Go
2. Rocket League and Wii Sports
3. Monster Hunter, TF2, the first TMNT, and X-Men
4. Interesting games here. Journey has a lovely multiplayer mechanic, but it's kind of anti-social by nature, or a new/different kind of social... what does it mean to be "social"? I think I'll vote for it because it makes us ask that question.
