Rating Dumped Games

[GeekyGuy]

I wanted to suggest creating an automated rating system for all games listed in the release forums. I think it would help give folks an idea of which games are worth checking out and which perhaps aren't. Sure, it wouldn't be completely accurate because, for one, not everyone has the same tastes, and of course, some folks will just vote one way or the other without having actually tried a game. But I believe on the whole a rating system would be useful. Something that would show up alongside the thread title. This way folks won't even need to enter a thread for a game they believe warrants little or no interest.

It could be any type really -- a number rating, percentage, or letter grading. And everyone could cast a vote driving the rating either up or down.

Hmm...sorry, I never noticed it. Perhaps it could be made more prominent, like I said, maybe attached to the thread title. Something like "`This many' Tempers recommend this game."

That's a good idea also.. maybe put a field with "This game is recommended by: " and a list of users that recommend the game, and would be cool if the recommended games were attached to the user profile so you could see if his taste match yours and if his recommendation is valid to you.

And substitute the current rating system for it cause no one uses it anyway

Are you taking note of this, Costello?

If not up to a user vote (like it is now), maybe base it off the average review scores......gamerankings.com posts an average review score for most games, for instance.

Costello knows about the multiple votes per user thing...

I think this was made to try and get you all to vote the 'bad' games down, and the 'good' games up.
