Games to be added to the database...

Game: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Platform(s): PC/360/PS3
Publisher: Valve Corporation
Developer: Valve Corporation, Hidden Path Entertainment
Genre: Shooter
Release Date: 8/21/2012

Added. (That's just the Xbox 360 version, but it was added on all platforms.)

Okay, I decided to update my game collection on this site and there were a LOT of games not in the database. Something around 80 games to be added to the database. What's the best way to do this?

Me posting the list of games with what details I can look up?

Me hacking into the database and adding them myself?

It could take a while. Please advise.

Game: Obulis
Platform(s): PC
Publisher: Meridian4
Developer: IonFX

REMINDER: Don't forget about Jerec's post above mine, if it hasn't been addressed yet.

Added.

Jerec,

If it were something that was likely to come up frequently, I would implore you to become staff and then I would grant you the permissions to add them yourself. Since that is not the case, a list of the games that need to be added is the approach to take, and I can probably just fill in details as I go. Keep in mind that iOS titles aren't something we'll be adding (more likely than not, iPod and iPad stuff will be removed from the site entirely), but otherwise everything should be fair game.

Jason

Okay. But I won't hit you with them all at once. Nintendo today.

3DS

3D Classics: Kid Icarus (eShop) (added)

DS

Dr. Mario Express (eShop) (already existed)
Extreme Hangman (eShop) (added)
Master All Classics (Europe/Aus only, somehow) (added)
Rytmik Rock Edition (added)
Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition (added)

Wii

Epic Mickey (already added under its proper title: Disney Epic Mickey)
New Play Control: Pikmin 2 (updated; was listed as Pikmin 2)
Pandora's Tower (added)

Thank you! I think I'll do some more thorough searching before posting up the next list. I was just going through them alphabetically, and maybe skimming a little too quickly.

Xbox stuff today. Side note, the Google custom search doesn't seem to work as well as the old one. Unless you can make a filter to search game profiles only, I'm sick of sifting through forum/blog posts that it finds.

360

AC/DC Live: Rock Band Track Pack (added)

XBLA

Bejeweled Blitz Live (added)
Doritos Crash Course (added)
Full House Poker (added)
Hydro Thunder Hurricane (added)
ilomilo (added)
Monkey Island 2: Special Edition (PS3/PC versions as well) (added)
Portal: Still Alive (added)
Rock Band Blitz (you've got the PS3 version only) (added)
Sega Rally Online Arcade (added)
Torchlight (added)

I've added some filters. For the most part, the Google search engine should now only bring up game profile pages and reviews. There will still be pages that show in the results if there are references to the game in question on other pages that Google has cached, but the relevant results should be listed near the top when available. Google also doesn't index every page on the site, since HonestGamers is so huge, but it's still a good starting point and of course you can always browse alphabetically (that has always been the best way to find listings).

Platform: DS

The 3DS version is called Jewel Master: Cradle of Egypt 2 3D, and currently does not have a US release date (at least not where I looked).

I'll give you this one, though. It's a pretty obscure PSP game no one has heard of...

Game: Dissidia 012[duodecim]: Final Fantasy
Platform(s): PSP
Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Square Enix
Genre: Fighting
Release Date: 03-21-11

Added.

I haven't forgotten these games, Jerec, and I'll try to get them added soon. I have a lot on my plate right now is all. I'm trying to finish playing Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed so I can review it, plus I have some review drafts I need to copyedit so they can go live on the site. Around that and my work I have to do on other sites to pay the bills, I'll be sure to add the games you listed. Sorry for the delay!

Don't feel like there's any rush. It's not exactly urgent.

Don't feel obliged to do these straight away. I've decided to fill out the details myself since I've got plenty of time on my hands. I'll try to group them by publisher or genre when I can. Helps my own train of thought stay focused.

Also, Walking Dead as a bundle would be nice. So if I ever felt like reviewing it, I could write one review instead of 5, since it's a pretty cohesive experience.

Added on PC, Mac, PS3, and Xbox 360, plus the whole series is available as a bundle on those four platforms in at least North America, so I added the bundle under that name and it can be used if you'd like to review the set as a single entity.

I have added the PC version. Are you sure it's available for Mac? I usually don't have trouble finding a record for a game if a Mac edition is released, but in this case I didn't find one.

htp EDIT: I was going off the wiki, perhaps it's coming later.
