Right, as usual alcohol makes us all come up with some weird ideas, and this is my latest one. No stealing it now..

A web page that allows gamers to submit their views on games. www.whatgamerswant.co.uk or something like that.
People would make views on what made a game good, what made it bad and what additions would make a similar game or sequel a lot better.

Then from there make an effort to get developers to actually look at it and if at all possible get some feedback from them.

Just a site where all the views can be gathered in one place.

So what do you think? Could it work, is there similar things already there?

Good idea yeah, I dont think ive seen a website of it yet but on loads of gaming site forums theres always a forum for that kinda stuff.

Could work though.

Try it.

I'd tried this on here a while back .. can't remeber that actual results or anything.
But a proper site for it would be good, especially if it gets recognised by someone important.

You could just go on there and say 1 thing that every game should have in it, then make a list and send it off somewhere.
You could say : a decent camera or loads of mini-games.
Stuff like that?

These forums are for all things games related. This site would just be for developers to see what gamers would like to see in games and what they don't like.
