Hmm, well, it's true that most AG staff prefer 3/P games as a general rule, but it's a little too convenient to write the list off to bias. We had Myst V and Voyage on until recently, and would be happy to include more 1/P games. But we won't add them as token minorities (which is how I interpret "fair representation" in this case). They have to earn their way on, and I'm just not seeing the same degree of public anticipation for the ones you mentioned. Rhem 2 never seems to generate widespread interest, Barrow Hill hasn't created much exposure for itself and has no publisher, and TAC hasn't promoted Sacred Rings much, as I said earlier. Scratches was definitely considered, but again the lack of English publisher works against its inclusion at this stage. When you can only pick ten, these things are pretty critical.

So, basically, the "hype" isn't there at this stage. Doesn't mean they're being ignored, though.
