Game of the Month
Game of the Month is an honor awarded each month to the most deserving game of a respective month, though exceptions have been made for games just barely outside of the month it has been awarded. This is usually a fangame released on the mainsite.
Each month, one game is given special attention as the Game of the Month to increase its traffic and recognition. A brief review is written, usually by the site staff, complete with screenshots, and made available on both the main side and forums.
For years, MFGG staff and members had discussed adding a Game of the Month badge, until Supernova designed a badge on March 4, 2012. This badge is unique in that its recipients are chosen by MFGG staff (since 2010, usually VinnyVideo) instead of a community vote, as with competitions or MFGG Awards.
