I’ve got a new favorite gaming website, gamerankings.com. It comprises everything I love best about community websites, I wish I had thought of it first. You can quickly create an account and begin to rank and leave comments about games for most of the major platforms. The site tracks your contributions over time and each user is assigned a rank based on their contributions. It’s missing the sort of ‘per post’ karma stuff from the slashdot sites which I hope they add, but as a plus they link to external reviews of games and the users can then rank the reviews as well. All in all it’s a very slick system. It occurs to me that I should do the same thing for traditional boardgames, there’s a concept no one has done before.
