Guidelines for Game Listings

• Anyone is allowed to edit a game listing, whether they wrote the game or not.
• Keep the listing factual. If you're not sure of a piece of data, leave it blank (or if it's already there, don't change it).
• Don't include spoilers. Don't give away plot twists, solutions to puzzles, or any other of the game's secrets.
• Don't use the listing as a review. If you want to express your opinion about the game, write an actual review instead (by going to the game's home page and clicking "Write a review").
• Don't attack the author.
• Avoid things like "better" or "worse" comparisons to other games, judgments on writing quality, overall excellence, etc. Those belong in a review, not a listing.
• It's okay to "sell" the game a little in its description, but keep it informative, basically factual, and focused on the game. The description should be like the "blurb" on the inside flap of a book - it should give readers an idea of what the game is about and what its overall style is.
  • "An emotional roller-coaster ride with plot twists that keep you guessing to the end" - that's fine, because it tells you something about the style of the game.
  • "The first good text game since Infocom stopped making them!" - not so good, because it doesn't tell you anything concrete about the game, and it's completely subjective.
