TGN games - needs better catagoriazaiton of games.

from Stardock Forums
Many of the games listed in the "games" tab of TGN lack even the most rudimentary catagorization. Some of them give clues to their catagories in the descriptive text, but some give no clue what so ever. Knowing whether a game is RTS, TBS, Mario Bros. like, etc. is key to whether I am interested in the game or not. Will there be an improvement in game catagorization soon?

It's something we're planning on.

After three years and some name changes in this function (now called "impulse"), I find it curious that I am finding the same problem.

Impulse has breakdowns by genre.

OK. I see the filter and have set it to my favorite genre (strategy), but I still fail to see a distinction between turn based and real time.

We're not breaking down the categories that much, I'm afraid.

TBS vs. RTS is a pretty major distinction to avoid. Both genres have strong minorities of players with little to no interest in "the other side."

I am renewing my request that Impulse provide this breakdown in their catagories.

Thanks
