In my controller I can call:
$scope.games[0];
To access the first item in my games array. Is there a way to do this keeping Filters in mind
Are you using "ng-repeat"? If so take a look at the properties $first, $index, $middle, and $last. This will allow you to get info on the specific item from the repeat.
For more info check here: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngRepeat
