Well adding the data for the games I imed ya with awhile ago and such I suppose. Aside that it would be cool to be able to sort games based on sales. It would also be really cool if we could get chart data showing the sales trends for games, as well as the ability to compare overall sold software that is listed on the site to other consoles (worldwide sales)

Also a lot of titles like marvel ultimate alliance or oblivion get numerous releases on the same console, it would be cool if ONE page was dedicated to their combined sales while also listing off the releases that one game has has. I also think like how you have the 1 million worldwide sales thing, it would be cool to see one for maybe 500k or 2 million, etc.

Ninja gaiden 1/black information for xbox 1 is not there.

Eventually some other fun statistical data I suppose :p



Note: Some games in my collection are no longer owned, but have owned.

Agreed.  Listing software sales even with those that are tagged with 10k units would be wonderful, especially in looking at cross-platform sales, newer releases, etc.  1 million sold is a pretty high mark and actual achievement by most moderate to small companies. 

 



Numbers: Checker Players > Halo Players

Checkers Age and replayability > Halo Age and replayability

Therefore, Checkers > Halo

So, Checkers is a better game than Halo.

Maybe you can fix it so that I can actually upload photos again?



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

it would be great if there was a results page index at the bottom of the games list so you don't have to scroll back to the top every time you get done scrolling through games.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I think functionality and cleaning up the DB should be your first priority.

Clean up redundant repeated files, for example:

GRAW II and GRAW 2 on the 360

Hot Shots Tennis and Everybody's Tennis on PS2

Ratchet and Clank and Ratchet & Clank on PS2

And so on. IMHO, you should fix these issues first before adding more data and/or design. Remember the cardinal rule of building websites: function before design

Whatever will make the website easier to use. Go as in detail as possible. I worked on websites for years before changing professions. One of the things to remember is: Dont make me think. If a website is too cluttered, I wont go back. Even something as simple as having a search button say "Find What You Want" instead of "Search". We all are used to "Search". So use that. There are many things this applies to. This is just one of them.

Why are the sales numbers shown in the search not the same as those shown when I click a game?

Hey ioi, have you seen all the work me and Montana did in the game database ^_^?

 Yup, this kid's a tough worker. Anyways, the Gamegear section started out with only 1 game, and now, well, just see for yourself!

take out the user review score, and add an average for what the profesionals have scored it at, excellent game's that should be 9's or 10's have scores of 6's and 7's with the user reviews

I agree with this suggestion as well. The user review score really isn't interesting or useful at all. An average score from the 5 most respected professional sites would be much better.


.


 Zero out all the game scores.

Show all the votes by user. Only let members with 100+ posts vote. 



I don't think that users should be allowed to vote on games. Just average the games scores from like 5 different reviewers, the best ones.
