  2. The library is incredibly extensive and includes literally every gaming platform out there.

  4. Unlike other wiki-like sites, here you can rate the game, so you can express your opinion and even write a review.
  5. Total absence of any ads; in other words, no frustration whatsoever.
  6. You can add more information to a page than any other wiki, and it's easier without using too much text.

The Only Bad Quality
