Official game database thread for new games in the database, reviews, etc. [community]
 
Hey guys, I decided to make a thread to call attention to one of our major features here, the Game Database. I'll probably bump it from time to time to let everyone know about new hot games that have been added that you can add to your collections or rate.

First, let me explain a few things about rating games and adding them to your collection. Everyone (yes, even you -1ers!) can rate games and add them to your collection. This is a pretty simple process. Go up to the menu above and select GAMES -> Game Database, or just CLICK HERE. You will see a list of titles you can browse, and you can also search for specific titles with the search feature at the top, and even add games you can't find with the little bar at the top right above the search functionality that says "Submit a Game (keywords)". To add a game to your collection you check the box under "Owned" next to the game, and to rate it you select a number under "You" (you can add without rating and vice versa, if you want to). You can do one game or a whole page at a time, and when you are ready to submit your collection and ratings updates, click the "CLICK TO UPDATE THIS PAGE OF YOUR COLLECTION AND RATINGS" bar that can be found at either the top or bottom. Simple!

You can also rate games and add them to your collection from the individual game pages that you access when you click on any game from the main game page. For instance, if you were on the Mario Party 6 page there is a box in the top right where you can add it to your collection or rate it and click the "PUSH" button to update.

Now, let me explain something about writing game reviews. Again, everyone (yes, even you -1ers!) can write reviews for the site. This is a pretty simple process. Like before, go up to the menu above and select GAMES -> Game Database (or just CLICK HERE. Select the game you want to review (you can use the search at the top to find games quickly) and click on it. Near the top right of the page for that individual game you will see "Add a review" with a little plus next to it. Click the plus, write your review, choose a score (or not, if you don't like scoring reviews) and submit. Easy as pie!

And don't worry about not being formal enough, or sticking to a specific review format, or whatever. As long as you can write a paragraph or two and put your thoughts into a semi-coherent form, everything is good. Also, reviews of older games are totally acceptable, for instance I recently posted a WarioWare: Twisted! review of mine that I wrote like 6 years ago or whatever.

Alright, that's all I have for now. Use the features guys!

Is "Bubble Bobble Wii" supposed to be "Bubble Bobble Plus?"


EDIT- Also, "R-Type" is listed under NES by says TurboGrfx-16 in the description, and I don't believe theres an NES R-Type game.


MORE EDIT, haha!-
Ikari Warriors entry:
An overhead shooter based on the arcade hit. Think of Jackal...with humans!
Jackal entry:
A sweet overhead shooter for the NES from Konami. Think Ikari Warriors...but with Jeeps!

Wow, Zero, that was fast...

Move to change "Super Mario Brothers" to "Super Mario Bros."

Lots of Bs. I remember going in on BreakThru for my friend's birthday, and then beating it at his sleepover. Memoriiiies...

@Mr_Mustache I could have sworn I did that in the past. Maybe we need an "edited by" thing for the games database so we know which mod last edited a game and aren't just going back and forth with edits. After all, some games don't even have the same names in various territories and people might not realize that one was spelled a certain way versus another way.

@Zero

Must be either you, Simba or Phalanx, us lowly (highy?) level -5 mods can't edit the game database entries.
11/24/10, 20:03   
Really!? Weird. Although there are a lot of Mario games so maybe I fixed one and forgot about the others. I think I got them all now though.
11/24/10, 20:10   
I love looking at the game stuff, so if I see anything else thats weird I'll call attention to it.

Now that I type that, I think there was one game that had incorrect punctuation or something..

I added some more games!

Question:

I want to add the VC game, Gradius II. It's a TurboGrafx-CD game. Right now the following formats show up for the VC games:

(GEN) (SMS) (TGX) (C64) (NG) (ARC)

Should we have one more, say... (TGCD) ???

Or just stick with (TGX)?

Why aren't you all continually obsessing over the games database like I am!?

@Zero

You better not be talking to me!!

I have to admit I'm a bit behind in rating some older games but I'm giving DK a great score.. I pretty much stand by my early preview/review so now that I'm almost done world 6.. I don't think the score has to change seeing as each world / level design seems to be getting better and better.

Edit:
I'm also changing my personal rating system on games and since I rate games in .5 increments I'm changing my review scores by rounding up or down.. I feel that seperating the games by .1 increments is a bit tedius to me.. not that there is anything wrong with that..just that I always question what seperates a 8.2 from a 8.3?

2 Points for Graphics and Sound
4 Points for Gameplay

@Simbabbad Good idea! There was a part of me that wanted to reward people for adding to collection / rating games, but I thought A. there is no easy way to not let that be massively exploited and B. people might just start adding to collection / rating games they don't even own. But if we could come up with something, maybe.

@Zero

I voted on the games that I could, and I've added every game that I own that isn't in the database (aside from some GBA games and WiiWare games, will try to do that this weekend).

EDIT: I just added six: one WiiWare, four GBA and one DS.
