Another idea, which probably doesn't have much mileage is game guides. I know gamefaqs has this pretty much sewn up, but they tend to be rather lengthy text files, with no indexing - it took me forever to get to the bit I wanted in the Zelda one this morning. Unfortunately I guess not many us us have the time to create our own guides, and gamefaqs are rather unlikely to like us linking their data and manipulating it.

I've been thinking of doing one for CoH - with new people joining at the moment it's nice to get a few tips from those who have gone before. We could expand on this in the same way as the review forum (although I don't neccessarily think it would fill a new forum itself).

As for indexing, maybe the Wiki page could be used to link to particular review or guide threads for games. As I've said before I think the Wiki page is rather under-utilised and if it could be better integrated into the site it could be very useful.

I was obviously being naive about the cash prize thing then. I didn't imagine the regulars would cause many problems, if any, but I suppose the prize may attract a wider range of people that aren't as reasonable. Then we'd need to develop some very strict and complicated rules to avoid abuse and deal with potential disagreements and the resulting ill-feeling.
