Man. It's 34 degrees Celsius here. Too lazy to type. Basically, old way, too longwinded. So. I think V's recommended game wiki is a good model. As a sample, something like this:[SAMPLE SHIFTED TO POST #3]Except better formatting; I'm a bit rusty with HTML. If you've written a review for a game, of course it'll be thrown into the column.Thoughts? Comments?Split into Genres?It hot.

I meet this suggestion with approval. Definitely split into genres. Possibly we could have a topic where people submit recommended games with images+genre+description, and some panel-like group accepts/vetoes/alters said submissions? Separate column for game image? Keep it tidier?

Oh maaaaaaaaan, the html is messing with the page preview.

Game	Genre	Summary	Reviews
999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors	Adventure, Visual Novel, Puzzle	A Visual Novel with themes of pseudo-science and historical fiction, you play as Junpei, a university student kidnapped from his apartment, waking up on a ship with nothing but a bracelet with the number 5 on his wrist. From then on, him and 8 others are continually thrown in life and death situations, gameplay-wise as puzzles, and continuing the story where no one is who they seem. tl;dr, it's friggin amazing.	Metacritic: 81
Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes [Image here]	I'UNNO	A Might & Magic game taking place in the early years of of the characters in Might & Magic 5, it plays nothing like the other M&M games. More like Match-3 gameplay, akin to Puzzle Quest, except instead of gems, you match up units in your army to create defensive and attack formations.	Metacritic: 86
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor [IMAGE HERE]	Strategy RPG	A grid based SRPG, follows your MC as you, your friends, and the rest of the city are isolated from the outside world when demons start appearing. Like any SMT game, heavy on the themes of angels, demons, and mankind, featuring multiple endings for your MC to choose. Each human member teams up with 2 other demons, and with the vast fusion options SMT offer, allows you to effectively customise the role of each battle team.	Metacritic: 84

Yeah, the specific genre thing would be hard to split up, unless we're happy with including repeat recommendations if a game spans over two genres.Or.Keep the genres broad and generic. So for example, Ace Attorney/Investigations, Time Hollow, 999, heck, even Layton, would all go into one 'broad' genre of something like Adventure point-and-click/Visual Novel/Puzzle, because for the most part, most of those types of games include it all. RPGs I guess would also include Action RPGs like Lufia remake, and SRPGs like Fire Emblem.

Yeah, but I'm not really sure I like the idea of a mega long table.Just sometimes when you start scrolling through for so long, it all becomes a bit same-y? You just start to glaze over things.

Unfortunatly, this would put it in the same genre as some other, less awesome games.

Then put in the 'awesome' genre, durr.Why not have it so that, when a person sees a game they like, idk maybe 3 other recommendations link up to them. Or if there are other games in the same series.
