In the new website format, it would be nice to have a featured game each week. The featured game would be the most played or most rated, whichever one you think is more suitable.
If you've already added something like that then that's great, but if not would you guys consider adding it?

I know that but I meant like a really good game on the home page where everyone can see it.

That's a good idea, but flawed. They used to have a random game button, until it got switched out for advertisements. Most played or highest rated games would never change. And the reason that it would never change, is that if it's on the front page of the website, then it would get more popular than the other ones! I do think that they should have the most popular game that had been posted that week or day posted there.

I would say most plays because ratings can easily be changed.

One person rating 10 means it will be first.

So plays would be better.

Good idea though.

Most plays would definitely be better, and perhaps a section where the random games reappear?

We've discussed a few things about the game category pages, where you could sort games by popularity, games you've played most, games your friends play the most, and so on.

That's good.. I also think the date that games are submitted to AG should also be kept. I can't seem to find that date on the page.

Excellente! This was going to be my next suggestion.

Well, we've started tracking who plays which games, but it won't be fully implemented for a while, so sorting things by how much you play, or maybe by how much your friends play, can be an option in the future.

As far as the date the game was submitted to AG, we usually approve games within a few days of submission, but I agree that showing that date on the play page is a good idea. This is getting off-topic tho.
