However then it occurred to me that ratings are pretty shallow: if you have 2 games that're each worth a 7/10, does that mean the games are comparable in terms of quality or gameplay? A number doesn't really say much about a game IMO, and even though I might not like a game, there may be others who like it a lot (The Sims:P).
I'd think an alternative would be tracking people's interest (download) for all games, then using that as a populatiry measure. But since the site's listing itself is a big list, there's not much we can do about tracking the popularity of single games.

Well, you can sort of guess at the OS by the release date.
Well, we try to sort games by their release date...Narfous wrote:Not everyone knows that however
About ratings, I'm absolutely against them. It's all about the preference of a few persons. We can easily see different opinions here (look some of the otiscrusher's posts). So, if we put ratings, there will be members to complain because it's not what they've in mind.
They're "professionals" paid to rate games ; just find their site. Then download the games with marks between 5 and 15/20. You could find some interesting things.

Info like: Game X will most likely not run on most WinXP machines without additional software, referring to DosBox and alike could be useful here.
