Gaming! So many games, not enough posts!

Interesting. I know that Greenlight does allow a ton of less than stellar games onto the platform but...is that such a bad thing? I'm of the opinion that what is a "bad" game is often subjective. I've played plenty of games that were absolutely terrible, but I still had fun with them. (Sort of like watching a movie that's so bad, it's good.)

I think that there needs to be a better way of sorting and ranking games. The current tagging system is a complete joke. So many people use it as a way to troll. For instance, tagging a game obviously targetted at children as "psychological horror" or tagging a violent FPS as "family friendly." This makes it difficult to find proper games. Combine that with people posting joke reviews that are meant to do nothing but get a cheap laugh and you have completely worthless system.
