Is there a way to see the games I've downloaded, Peder? A list with the links to the gamepage would make it easy to find and rate the games played in the past. All aboard the Band-Wagon!

Maybe make it so that you can't post an "empty" comment?

I made it so leaving a blank comment on the games rating page didn't post a comment, but apparently I forgot to do it for the games' pages.  Done that now!

What would be nice (for both AGS DB and AGSA) is if you could get a list of all UNRATED games and be able to go through some of them. 

I just realised this wasn't what you were asking for, but: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/yourated/.  However, this probably was: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/unrated/ (and luckily only took five minutes to do since I'd already done the other one).

Ahh both of those links are really useful. Nice one AGA.
One question though, does the 'you rated' list take some time to update? Because only one of the ten games I rated yesterday has appeared on that list.  All the others are games I rated previously.

I'd actually accidentally left some random user's (get8p, someone who happened to have rated recently) user ID in the script, rather than it picking up each user's user ID automatically.  So it looks like get8p rated some similar games to you!  It should reflect the correct data now?

Ahh that looks more like it. Thanks man.  Had I really only rated 8 games before yesterday? I'm so ashamed :(

The bakesale-link http://agsbakesale.com/ should be removed from the database, because it now leads you somewhere else.
Saw it on the database for to "visit games website" (Escape the Barn and Zombie Attack).

Not on the AGS site no (not that I know of at least, you'd have to ask AGA :)), I've implemented this feature on AGSA..

Yes the second link was what I meant, although the first link is very useful too!   Ashamed to say that I've only actually rated 13 games so far (quite surprised by that, but I guess mostly I reviewed the games on my blog rather than rated and commented on the AGS games page.)

But just to be awkward...

Having a list of games that NO-ONE has rated is of course very useful, but also could we have a list of games that have been rated, but not by enough people for the average rating to be shown?  (I think it's 5 ratings?)

Useful list! Seems I rated 48 games till now. Usually I rate as soon as I have completed the game. However, I recently started to write detailed reviews in the game's thread instead. Maybe I should also rate those games?

Rating, and pasting your review into the comments field, would be helpful.  A lot more people are likely to see your opinions if they're on the main site than if they're hidden away on the forums!

Yes, but currently I mostly write detailed reviews also with feedback for the author and frequent spoilers. That's not something I'd like to post in the database. So I'd have to write a different comment.

By the way, now that you are in a list creation spree: The recent comments only shows the last 5 entries, would it be possible to get a list with more than that? I'd like to read the most recent reviews people made because of this thread and I wouldn't know how to find them.

I always wondered why there is no link to the forums CGA-Thread.
Right underneath where the link to the website shows up (if avaliable) whould be a nice place for it.  (nod)

So far I rated ad reviewed every AGS game I ever played. Some even twice! Maybe two or four even three times!

But the total number of games I played could be more impressive. I barely played anything from 2012.

Stupot, you're absolutely right! I'll defenitely brush up my voting habits; thanks for making an example!

Crazy feature suggestion: Maybe there's a way to integrate the game's comments with the completed game forum thread comments?
One way, for example, would be not to allow creating new threads in the "Completed Games", and automatically create a thread for each new game entered to the database.
And then allow adding comments (and rating) from both the forums and the game page and synchronise between them.
If this could be done, it would be super cool...
