Down From The Bully Pulpit

A shortlist of games you "ought" to play. This isn't based on essential quality or objective worth. This is a subjective list of games that are, to our eyes, inventive and interesting.

They may revive a genre, have a slick mechanic, or simply a beautiful style.

From wikipedia:
A bully pulpit is a sufficiently conspicuous position that provides an opportunity to speak out and be listened. This term was coined by President Theodore Roosevelt, who referred to the White House as a "bully pulpit", by which he meant a terrific platform from which to advocate an agenda. Roosevelt used the word bully as an adjective meaning "superb" or "wonderful", a more common usage in his time than it is today. Another expression which survives from this era is "bully for you", synonymous with "good for you".
