I just use it as a way to keep track of my games. An open-to-the-public database, really.

It's just really simple when it comes to adding games and maintaining your list - easily the best collection site i've yet seen.

Exactly. You just type in the name and it's in the database, which is much more convenient than selecting from a list. When I realized just how many games I had I set it up so I could see myself make progress towards beating them all.

Signed up. Added 2 games. Realized it would take me weeks to add the other 1000+. Never touched it again.

What? :? :lol:

It's really satisfying to use it as an incentive to beat a game that you've never finished before and then be able to mark it off the list.

You could always just take it slow. Maybe just add one console at a time or something? Because yeah when you start from scratch it can be a bit daunting.

I wonder if anyone here will ever manage to get that badge for beating the whole collection? I'll definitely try it :) Although there are some games in my backloggery I'll probably never beat because I suck at them.

Hmm, looks cool, but very lacking in older systems.

Great way to express your opinion of games in a sentence or two. ;)
