The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    Not sure if this will take off, but why don't we have just one thread for game advice? People could fill out the FAQ (sample below), and then everybody could give feedback. What do you all think? Maybe this will even become a sticky/official thread :eek:


    What games(s) do you currently play?

    Any game(s) you do not want to play?

    What genre(s) do you like?

    What genre(s) do you not like?

    What game rating (Everyone, Teen, or Mature) do you prefer?

    What is your system information (for example: GPU, CPU, RAM, etc.)?

    What is your price range?

    The problem with having one thread for games is that people have to read through heaps of pages of stuff that may not interest them to find any info............im far to lazy to do that....and having different threads sometimes leads to alot of off topic stuff which is helpful and often times more enjoyable than the OT....nice idea though.

    Well asking what age rating you want a game to be is kind of unnecessary unless you're looking for a game for someone young because I'm a big believer in not caring what rating a game is as far as determining how cool or fun it is. Entertainment shouldn't be dependent on a game's level of violence or bad language I think.

    Fifth post and I've already lost interest in this thread.


    It's better to keep the 'which game' topic as separate entities.

    I agree with you it should be in seperate entities.
