Let your voice be heard!
I am working on a major redesign to Bitsmack.com but I need some ideas/input on what to do with the site. I don’t want to get rid of video games reviews, but since so many sites do it better now (i.e. Gamespot, 1up.com) I want to change mine so that it does something you can’t find anywhere else. Some of the possible suggestions so far are:
- allow people to track their collections/wishlists of video games, dvds, heroclix, comics, etc.
- a module where you can rate video game stores in your area
- a video game high score database
If you have any ideas for what you’d like Bitsmack to do, just post your ideas in the comments below this news article.
Thanks!

I think the high score idea is cool. ^_^ Though we all know I’ll never have a high score up there. And having a good database for your collection of geekiness is always a plus…
I really don’t have any other ideas though. I really think a comic needs to come back though. The place seems kinda dead since it’s gone… Just my two cents.

I might like to see some sort of database-y thing where I can see related types of games, kinda like the Amazon "people who bought this also bought…" thingy.
e.g. "If you liked Wizardry, you might like Might and Magic III." Or something.
Or, maybe just tagging each game with a genre. Or something.
Or something to help me find the types of games that I would like. A simple rating (like 9.2) doesn’t tell me much. Something to help me zero in on what to play next, especially given my paucity of game-playing time. Also, something to maybe help me find some oldies-but-goodies.
Or something.
