- If one of the indie game houses has an anouncement on their site that we can link to, then yes. Otherwise, wait for something to be available or at least officially announced. Though if you want to make up a template for game entries, by all means :) Chip 04:31, 3 September 2008 (CEST)
subdividing released games
at this point it may be worthwhile to further dividing the released games into lists which would allow someone who is looking for a game to find it on the list faster. Any ideas for how to split them up? The most obvious way would be type of game, shooter, strategy, platformer, etc.
