Actually, I'd rather it not pick all games randomly. Because like, a third of games don't appear right on it. And the other games do not deserve to be recommended. You know the type. Almost all decent games are front paged anyway.
Also, one problem I see with picking higher rated games is that most of the good old games were here before the new rating systems.
And then again, like Hayo said, some games don't need to be spotlighted. Because when I see things from Hayo, Bibin, Pixelthief, or Phizzy, I tend do download them anyway

There could be an option for the approving admin to thumbs up or down the spotlightibility of the game. If it has funky screenshots or is one of those "you know the type" games, they just don't let it be on the list of games that can be spotlighted!

I was going to suggest a cycle of the recommended/highly recommended but OMC is a better more developed idea of that. OMC, you definately should apply for admin.
Could the spotlight be updated to have arrows on the left and right sides and we could scroll through more than 3 spotlighted games? It's similar to the iTunes scrolling highlights in design, but without the arrows. Just seems like the space could be used better.

Hey, that would be nifty! As an admin I've realized that it really should be randomized in some way to show old downloads too... You can go in every day and set it to the latest project updates and downloads, but when there's nothing new you'd have to sort through all those old downloads for a good one...
