This is cool. This site is quickly becoming my all-in-one stop for pretty much what I do with my free time.

Are you guys thinking of alloing Xbox Gamer Tags to sigs at some point?

You can add your Xbox gamer tag to your profile. As for forum signatures, there are no plans to allow them.

Well, we're (give or take an hour) one week into VGG. In case people are interested, here's some bits of info on how things have progressed over this last week:

Over 800 new games have been approved into the system

...along with roughly 300 new videogame companies

Our number of ranked titles (with more than 5 ratings) has increased from 215 to 846

Our most-rated game (Portal) has now been rated by over 170 VGG users

31 new VGG contributor microbadges have been awarded to various users

And countless hundreds new box covers, screenshots and series images have been uploaded to the system

WOW! surprise

Unreleased Content

Unreleased items may be submitted for inclusion to the database, but must meet the following:

* Images for unreleased items are not allowed; a placeholder image will be added by an admin

* Add a banner on the item description in red saying "UNRELEASED GAME". Do this using ##red|UNRELEASED GAME##

* Only submit versions that are CONFIRMED by the publisher, and include a link to the press release in the admin notes of the submission.

I guess it does meet the last item, since it was confirmed by the Publisher (ha!) and there were press releases (double ha!), but really it doesn't meet the smell test. I guess in this case there are extenuating circumstances, but I wouldn't approve it...

I am curious what advantages people think VGG has over existing, similar sites such as http://mobygames.com and http://vgrebirth.org?

Never mind, I started a new thread instead:

This has probably been mentioned before, but I didn't read all of the previous posts.....

When I register at VGG, I get a message that mentions BGG instead of VGG. Here's the text:

that's a bug, but you don't need to register on VGG if you already have an account on BGG, just use the same login account.

Maybe we need a better description for the different categories. I personally think that un-boxing should not be placed in with reviews. The Instructional section would be a better place for those.
