How to choose

The poll leaves the final judgment to voters: imagine recommending only one new release from the month to a friend and select the game you would choose. Re-released games are excluded, but remakes remain eligible. PlayStation Blog describes those as ambitious, larger-scale rebuilds, citing Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Final Fantasy VII Remake as examples.

October’s featured field spans several kinds of new releases, including Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, Phantom Blade Zero, Silver Pines, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve. Players are asked to decide which one was their favorite.

How the poll is built

The PlayStation Blog editorial team will first assemble a list of the month’s most noteworthy releases to seed the poll. Once the voting period closes, the votes will be tallied and the winner will be announced on PlayStation Blog’s social channels and on PlayStation.Blog.
