Welcome to VideoGameGeek!
At first, it may seem like a daunting place, full of mazes, levels of increasing complexity, and fire breathing fan boys. Fear not! Your friendly admins and other VGG users are here to help, and soon you too shall find the wealth of treasure and experience contained within. This guide intends to serve as a starting point - a walkthrough to navigating the geek. It is not intended to be read through all at once, but to provide information on each section of the site as you interact with them. It may not answer all your questions, but our community will be happy to help where this guide can't.
What is VideoGameGeek, you may ask? VideoGameGeek is a database of all kinds of videogames. It is a way to keep track of your own personal collection, to discover and discuss videogames of any era, any genre, and any platform. It is a community to find gamers of similar interest, to provide reviews written by other gamers like you and not like you, and a place to talk about and ask questions about whatever you may be playing, have played in the past, or may play in the future.
Where are all of these wonderous ideas? Well, some of them may be right at your fingertips. And some of them may not yet exist, waiting for gamers like you to provide their knowledge, expertise, and enjoyment of gaming. The core of VideoGameGeek is a massive database , containing video games, the systems and accessories used to play those games, game related images, and much, much more. This database is populated by users like yourself. If you don't find what you're looking for, why not help change that?
VideoGameGeek is part of the BoardGameGeek family of websites, a community that began with BoardGameGeek over 10 years ago, and was joined by RPGGeek in 2009. BoardGameGeek has become a premier site for the internet-enabled boardgamer, and VideoGameGeek aims to become the same for video gamers.
