[games_access] Future Play Poster 2006 and Top 10 List

[Reid Kimball]

The only thing that seems general to me is "Training options" and
"broad range of difficulty levels".

Is the term "Audio tags" merely to mean add sound effects for all the
events of doors opening, etc?

Other than that, the list is clear to me, but maybe I'm not the best
judge being entrenched in this stuff for so long.
