Alphabet gaming session game picks

So below is the shortlist of titles for the alphabet gaming marathon I've scheduled for Sunday 22nd October 2017.  tinyurl.com/y9u8ho4j   Whilst my aim was to have one big title, one indie and one other, it's been largely influenced by what I have available to me, and by how well it would be portrayed, seeing as I'm no expert for any of these games. And, in some cases, it's limited by the starting letter (and I was fairly ruthless in using the official title - a lot more 'The' titles than i was expecting) My twitter feed  https://twitter.com/ReprobateGamer  has live polls for the next few days with all of those listed, along with an option to add your own. Do feel free to comment below if there is something you particularly would like to see - not much time left! Still struggling on Y as well ... Assassins Creed 4 / abyss odyessey  / asura's wrath Batman Knight / Blur / badlands Call of Jaurez: Gunslinger / Crysis 3 / chariot /  Desti

After all, I wasn't getting ready to run an actual marathon. The idea just kind of popped in there I guess. If I wanted to avoid a single game, then that necessitated multiple games. How does one go about picking? I think the 26 miles of a marathon race must have crept into my brain somewhere. When the conscious thought of picking an alphabet of games, the 26 letters clicked. I still had then to
