Why have we never had a OCUK review site. Forum user names + open review system. page per game, everyone posts reviews on the page with overall score.

Then the "must have list" and "Top 100" would be automatic :)

split it up into format :D

How has no one mentioned Red Alert 2 + Yuri's Revenge, Uplink or Freelancer.

broken sword seres
monkey island series
grim fandango....

the list is endless!
