Does any one know if there is something compared to IMDB, but for games? Would be awesome.

The Killer List of Video Games covers most arcade games, but not home releases. The IMDb has been increasingly including games but it is far from comprehensive.

I thought that IMDB only covered newer games? It would be awesome to have such an archive for retro stuff as well. Amiga, NES, SNES, Genesis etc etc.

What's wrong with Wikipedia? It has lists of games based on genre, platform, series, etc, and you can usually hop from game to game based on producers/directors/voice actors/etc.

I just feel that IMDB is superb when it comes to movies. Wikipedia is good too, just that a site that really focus on the same concept as IMDB, but for video games, would be awesome.

Maybe when you have a group like the Screen Actors Guild, which already did half of the work for most of IMDB's work, it wouldn't be so hard for a gaming version to pop up. I just feel that there is too much rampant bias and general greed in a lot of the gaming industry that too many people would be unwilling to work together to get this information out there. Even if you were able to gather up all the public domain information and create an index for gaming, do you really think that people are going to care about who voice acted for which character and whatnot?
