On another good site I was playing on there was a random game button. It would randomly select a game got you if you don't know what to play and it will let you explore games that you might have overlooked. Please consider this idea!

Someone put this on GetSatisfaction some weeks ago. AG has it under consideration for AG3.

Didn't AG have a random game box a while ago?

Yes.

I don't remember why it was taken out, and I don't want to search back into old threads at the moment - so tired.

I think it was because the random game thing slowed the site down, so they took it off and replaced it with random web games.

I think that was right. I remember hearing that a while ago.

I think it would be better with a random game button for your favorite games.

JohnGarell, if you only favorite a few games though, it wouldn't be as useful.

We've talked about it internally, and will probably build it as a "game of the day" setup. The system can just find a game based on some criteria, like "more than a 7.0 rating" and pick one at random as the daily game.

Goldair1, as I mentioned, we'll build that criteria internally so it's "fair" across all of our games, though it'll probably have a minimum rating of 6.0 to be considered.
