  • A list of forum alternatives, should also be created here
    A computer gamer will find a community at GameFAQs or IGN Boards for example. And you can have very specialized communities for example for a specific computer game series, or if you're into Subaru Imprezas there's a whole forum for that as well called NASIOC, and many other non-tech topics too.

    NOW!!! Being a Pokemon game, I believe just using the Bulbapedia would help you A LOT. Then I would add an script/dialogue transcription of the game (sometimes you can find them in the "good and old" Gamefaqs. Source: 11 months ago

  • What is Whatoplay? [it helps u find what to play duh, jk]
    On whatoplay.com, each game has a playscore which is an average based on all reviews on the net such as critic reviews from IGN, gamer reviews from Steam, and reviews directly written on the site. Source: about 1 year ago
  • [Personal Review] The Last Hero of Nostalgaia
    Can I add your review to whatoplay.com ? I'll credit you appropriately, (PS, that no dmg run is insane). Source: about 1 year ago
  • Need games
    Use whatoplay.com you can filter by year. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Is there a website that sorts games by popularity AND reviews?
    You could also try whatoplay.com - they take at least 3 critic reviews and the average over user ratings from steam, gog.com etc. And then generate an aggregate rating from that. However, niche games will suffer from that (but these could still be great games). Source: about 3 years ago
