Suggestion - Games searchable by genre/themes

[EasistFool]

I was wondering if there was any way to search for games by there genre or theme. I noticed I've started to use the games list to look for games I want to play next and thought it could be easier if I can go from a game I know I enjoyed to similar games by genre/theme. Most games have the data anyway so I don't think it will be a massive task - at least I hope not!

It would also be interesting to see player breakdown by these stats; such as 30% of my games are RPG while the other 70% are what ever (like the ps3, vita, multiplatform bit). Nt sure how easy that would be though!

Thanks!

Organizing games by genre usually turns out to be a nightmare for more than a few reasons because so many games fall into multiple categories (not to mention, the amount of complaints that happen when a game is filed under a genre that a person thinks is wrong).

Consider something like Uncharted;

- Action

- Adventure

- Action/Adventure

- 3rd Person Action

- 3rd Person Adventure

- 3rd Person Action/Adventure

- Shooter

- 3rd Person Shooter

- Playstation Exclusive

etc, etc, etc.

Now, file the other 2,000 games...

As far as I've seen most games have already been listed, in uncharted it is;

Genre: shooter, platformer, action-adventure.

Themes: Mayan, alternative historical, sci-fi.

My main suggestion would be if you could click on 'shooter' for example and see all the other games tagged as such.

Ah. I see what you mean.
