  • Each user will have a profile page.

  • Users will have avatars and personal descriptions.

  • Users will be able to write and post their own reviews.

I will edit this page regularly moving (and adding) list items from the "to-do" to the "done" list. All suggestions are welcome too, so don't be shy :P

I like it especially because it eliminates spammers to.

Yeah that was one of the reasons for the login system, along with personal details and user-reviews. I still have a lot to do but I think it's coming along nicely now :D

Are people able to add reviews or their own games?

Not yet, you will be able to write your own reviews soon though. I probably won't be adding games to the site (yet anyway). I'd like the site to focus mainly on gamemaker reviews for the moment. Also I forgot to mention I've added a "forgot your password" page, which was the main reason the login system failed the first time round, so hopefully that's no longer a possible problem!
