Final count for tonight is 204 games. I've made some progress on standardizing genres, but I've still got lots of ones that I'm confused about.
If anybody would like to help contribute to this project, I've got two pretty big tasks that you can get involved in:
- Find links for games that still have "I would prefer not to answer." in their website column and post them here.
- Look at all the notes and try and answer the questions typed in them. Most of them are related to the genres games fall into. I realize genre is a controversial thing and have witnessed people arguing over whether STALKER/Deus Ex is an FPS, RPG, FPS/RPG, and whether FPS/RPG is a real genre. Try and answer the question anyway. I want to try to fit everything into one category but I realize that's not going to work for some games.
And, of course, you can always submit more games. According to my calculations, we are still 999,999,796 games away from the 1 billion mark, but I'd settle for an even 400. I'm thinking about running nominations until the end of the weekend, unless the thread suddenly becomes wildly popular and it becomes apparent that people need more time.
EDIT: It also appears that some of you may already be using the spreadsheet to look through games. Once everything is finished I'll have the chart published on a nice webpage as part of a series. I'm hoping to also do Blockland Recommends threads for Music, Movies, Websites, and Books.
