I don't know when this was implemented, but there is a new tab on games
called "Home". It looks pretty neat; contains a small description of
the game and average reviews. Does anyone know when these started? --- (¬_¬)/¯ - It's good to go! [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ -Red |||||||||||||| -Green ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] -Blue |

I wonder if we get to submit info for it? --- How much is a large water? - 50 cents How much is a free water? - O_o |

Judging from the new admin blog entry, it went up today. I'm also
curious to see if we can submit game descriptions or something similar. --- (¬_¬)/¯ - It's good to go! [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ -Red |||||||||||||| -Green ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]] -Blue |

The descriptions come from GameRankings.com For example: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/home/933037.html is copied from: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/933037.asp Also if you haven't noticed, at the bottom of the page it'll show things Game Rankings has to offer in addition to GameSpot's. --- http://nerthing.gametrailers.com http://www.youtube.com/nerthing |

I like it. I guess games without descriptions might get info submitted. --- Wake Forest Fan Brawl Code: 0301-9442-2268 |

Maybe corrections possible as well - Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
for GBA has the same description that the console games do, when it's a
fully different game. The error of course originates on GameRankings
which does regards the four versions as all being one entry. --- First you draw a circle, then you dot the eyes http://www.mastagus.com/sash/collection/collection.html |

| Actually these kind of suck, look just like the GameSpot pages with stupid "reader ratings" in big bold font. The data screen was fine and as pointed out above the "Homes" are faulty en mass. |

look just like the GameSpot pages with stupid "reader ratings" in big bold font. I think that's the whole idea. --- How much is a large water? - 50 cents How much is a free water? - O_o |

| It must take a moment or two for the home page to
update, because when i posted a topic on an otherwise empty board, the
home page still said that there were no topics. --- "Yes! Got Sig'd! Haven't been sig'd in a while."~King Kool |

I think they should make it available to us to write little blurbs. ~*ST*~ --- 2/4/2007 - SUPER BOWL CHAMPION COLTS! Now Playing: FF12, AW: DoR |

I agree, especially for old and obscure games that may not have a Gamespot or Gamerankings page. --- "Yes! Got Sig'd! Haven't been sig'd in a while."~King Kool |

I'm sure the people that want the ability to contribute would be
neutral in their descriptions, but I could see a lot of abuse stemming
from the ability to contribute descriptions. --- Complete FAQS: 68 http://faqs.retronintendo.com | http://sms.sitesled.com |

They should have a GameFAQ reviewer summary instead of a reader summary. --- I'm like the ugly girl FAQer - they don't mind hanging out with me, as long as they don't look directly at me. ~ Vegita |
