Comment (by kcrisman):
Okay, I looked at this for all of two minutes and have the following non-
mathematical comments.
* Many of these are ''very'' standard in the literature. There should be
normative references, whether to an undergraduate text like Straffin or to
some other source, such as RAND corp. whitepapers or whatever.
* Many of these games will have many different "versions" in the
literature - for instance, your numbers for PD are quite unorthodox, as
they are '''positive''' :-) Maybe there should be way to specify the
actual numbers for each, as they have a standard form in some sense (one
could check for these).
* There are a number of evolutionary biology games that are quite
interesting that have parameters, and indeed parameters show up in many
advanced treatments of such games. Not sure how this is a useful comment
but anyway I think having parameters is a "good thing". I like Mesterton-
Gibbons' treatment of this (AMS STML volume 11).
* Finally, there are some comprehensive listings by e.g. Rapaport et al.,
Fishburn and Kilgour, and Robinson and Goforth, which might be interesting
to include here (or some later ticket) for 2x2 normal form games "types".
