Here is a small suggestion: I think it might be a cool idea to add a "similar games section" at the bottom of each game (maybe below the creators info/description). If we like a particular game, then we could jump to a similar game after. This concept would be similar to the Amazon.com's "other people who bought this also bought..." We might find a new favorite game that was previously undiscovered! What do you think?

It's a good idea, but it would take months to make even just 5 similar games for every game on AG. The coding would be a mess, so it would cause major lag in the games.

So don't count on it happening.

I think what he means is to have a link to page with a list of similar games, like the "all games by this dude" link. Would it really mess up the site?

To create tons of links for about 1350 games, yes, that would cause epic lag and the site would be slow.

It's what tags are for, but the game doesn't show the tags and I don't understand why.

It would just be nice to see what the games are "tagged" as in the least while on that game's page. I understand that this idea may not be feasible right now- but I'm throwing it our there anyways (Side note I'm a "she", not a "he" mmdc).

it's for game search; it uses tags rather than the name of game.

But wouldn't it be nice to see what tags a particular game is categorized as when playing?
