Gamedatabase Project

[Falken]

I needed something more to work on than my shooter game. Only one project is so boring

So simply it is a database of games released, the goal is ofcourse to add every game ever released to all platforms
Sort of like IMDB, but for games.

Please comment on design and also functions/information you feel important about a game.

Here are some screens:

The welcome page, with a search field:


And when you are typing you get results almost right away:


And if you want to narrow your search (Hovering over a game link shows the game cover):


And when you found the game you was looking for:


Ye, the homepage also chooses a random image each time, and if you hover a game you see the game cover.

I would think that maybe you could crawl an existing game database to at least make a skeleton with publishers, publish dates, game names, etc. GameFAQs.com follows a pretty consistent formula and has data for basically every game ever made (even if they don't have an FAQ for it). Maybe something could be done that could get data from there. Then people could help to get up screenshots, box art, etc. Maybe even users could submit images for games that do not have any.
