There are many halls of fame. Baseball, basketball, hockey, computing & IT, rock & roll, bowling and even chess. So why not create one for computer games? Sure, there's the 'Game of the Year' award for the best looking game, and then there's the weekly and monthly top 10 charts for the best selling games. But, why not have a gaming hall of fame?

The gaming hall of fame would be somewhere to accommodate a collection of the most loved games, from accross all formats, voted for by gamers. Here, you can find interesting facts about the game and read about why gamers loved it so much. The games that would be in the gaming hall of fame wouldn't necessarily have to be recent games, either. Duck Hunt, Alex Kidd and even Pong would be strong contenders.

Voting could take place throughout every month, meaning there would be 12 games voted into the hall of fame each year. With the amount of games released in the past, and the amount of games released per year, we'd never run out of games to vote for.

We often hear people say "this is the best game ever" but, after a while, another game comes along and that becomes "the best game ever". So why not credit those games, and their developers, by entering them into the gaming hall of fame?

Also, SR could put the new game that's been voted into the hall of fame in their catalogue/magazine. It would help to attract more members to the site and not just random peeps posting for the novelty of winning GAD.

Good idea. Maybe it would be a way of bringing in the new chatters that Tony wants.

Maybe have a vote once per month for the next game to be included - that way it doesn't overfill with crappy titles that people have bought, liked on the day and voted...in theory...
