Title: Games list on website
Post by: Necro on Fri 19/05/2006 00:03:22
I don't know if its just me, but do you think you could add a bit of code to the games listing on the website to sort by Release date and Rating (or link the recently added games page from them), in a ddition to alphabetially..  sometimes i wanna just try one of the new short games, without going into the forums and seeing whats games have been posted in there recently , but on the websites game page it starts with such games as 6 day assasin which is quite old (plus i played it already ;] ) and i dont know what the new ones listed there are..

I got to say I LOVE the picks of the month.

You deliberatly can't sort by Rating for some reason I don't get...Ã,  ::)

Anyoen can feel free to send me suggestions for Game of the Month, too. Especially at the end of a month, so's I don't forget!

If you sort by rating, so says CJ, people will sort by rating and play the top rated games and not play the unrated or low-rated games when the only reason they are low-rater or unrated is because people sort by rating and play the top rated games.

Yeah then well never get to play some of the other games that might be very good in anycase! just might have crappier graphics :(

Hey maybe sort by rating in what you like story graphics etc?

Given the sheer amount of games on the site, and the fact that the rating system is neither very accurate nor very comprehensive, it is worthwhile to consider other ways of classifying the games. Of course that would require the input of people who have played more games than I have.

So why is there a pick of the month? Why not just a random game? I call shenanigans.

Pick of the month highlights a specific game for various reasons, not because it got a high score in voting.
