I was going to suggest what has been mentioned above r.e. current generation titles. Try and get sleeper hits or overlooked titles from this generation so that all people have to do is track down a copy of the game and then they can get involved.
Obviously there are going to be people who won't be interested each particular month because they've played that month's game to death but it may be worth a go to get more people involved. Off the top of my head suitable titles may include: EDF2017, Saints Row/2, Hitman: Blood Money (this would get my vote, actually), Lost Odyssey, Halo Wars.
It also might be interesting to try better known titles and see how people's reactions to certain games may have changed over the years - something like, say, LBP or Bioshock? It would provide people with an incentive to replay older titles which is often lost with so many decent quality new games being released throughout the year.
The other alternative is to go for PC games, with digital distribution services like Steam and GOG making it easier to get hold of these titles. I imagine less people here play PC games but there are plenty of classics which run on modern machines which would be worth revisiting: Hostile Waters, Sacrifice, System Shock 2, Thief/II, Grim Fandango, Ground Control.
