I was thinking maybe you could add some new categories to get rid of the "Misc." section, I don't know why but it bugs me trying to find a game in there so I think you should make a Music category and Maybe an entertainment one that is directed more towards the game interacting with the person like the simple games with only the ^ v < > arrows, just a suggestion, pros/cons please, and yes I know, "ZOMG LAGG!!!!!!!!!!!!" I think we should also make the site have more bandwidth or something so we can fit all these ideas! lol.

I know, I know. Everyone wants the site to have more bandwidth, everyone keeps complaining about it.

Misc is important, even though the Music genre is a big majority to it. As far as I can tell, there really can't be any room for another category in the toolbar above you. As much as I agree with you, what would we do with the rest of Misc? Leave it at that, or try and find another majority and add another category?

I personaly think that some of the catagories are getting crowded, as far as the amount of games in it, and while it isn't a problem now, it may be in the future.

Nonsense! Everything will be fine; it doesn't matter how many games are in a particular genre, it matters if the genre is organized and has page numbers to break each section. I'm fine with the amount, so long as it isn't messy and built up.

Exactly. We could technically make a new section, but where would the rest of the random games go? And there isn't really room at the top bar for more categories.

Joy, I got praised =)

There really is enough music games to make a whole new section of it, but what we could do is move the game jump over and possibly add in a music section. What's left is what's left: Misc.

Really, Misc is like the Tavern. Anything that doesn't pertain to the other sections gets put there. Since there wasn't a music genre, or the fact that they haven't thought of an actual music section, it was put there as well.

Can't the font used just be smaller?

I personally have always wanted to create a category for defence games. I know there are the tags but i think it would remove lots of games from the extremely broad action category. I belive there would be enough games to justify the creation of a new genre too.

Generally, defense games are the same string as strategy, reason being you need to use your brain to win, and it is usually more challenging than the other genres. That being said, there's an Action section and a Shooting section too, so that just strikes that out. I think, before anyone considers having a split section of a genre, there needs to be a broad spectrum of that given type of game.

I would say there are quite a few games that are defence based. Especially when you look at the sport section which has hardly any in it.

There doesn't need to be a defence section. There's already a link on the front page to the defense tag.

Yes i know there are the tags but when you consider how few sports games there are, surely the number of defence based games under the tags 'defense' and 'defence' combined justifies its creation as a separate genre.

They're roughly the same actually (45+/-). Anywho, defense games are tricky to categorize since some are like Arcade games, some are pure Action games. You can argue until the cows come home and create a definition for "defense" games -- but at the end of the day, when you shoot and kill things, it'll go under Action... and when you kill mythical creatures, it'll go under Adventure :P

Besides, I think the search is suffice... it does a damn good job finding defense games, so why bother with a category?

I would say a music one like you have but we only have few music games and possibly not enough to make a whole new category, the one I would like to see go up is a Top 50" game cat.
