First of all, I beg of you, do NOT allow people to change the look of their profile pages. Consistency is a lovely thing, and I wouldn't want to see this well-designed site degenerate into a myspace-esque clusterf@%k of colors and broken layouts that will force me to gouge my eyes out. Allowing for the addition of a blogmast or something like that is fine, but for the love of god, don't let people at the css!!!

As for new features...

- As others have said, fields for Gamertag / Wii code / Steam ID, etc would be nice.
- A few fields to add personal web links would also be welcome.
- And finally, a redesign of the way reviews and such are displayed is necessary. You should just display the titles of the latest added reviews (with an option to expand each one), rather than include the entire text of each one all on one page. As it is now, page length is a serious issue... and it just doesn't look very good.

Oh, and I also noticed that on the the profile pages, user names seem to automatically be capitalized. But some users (like me) would prefer that their names appear in the exact case in which they were originally entered. I know it's a trivial thing, but why force all names to start with a capital if that's not the way they were entered? Most of the other pages on the site display the names correctly, so this should be a simple fix.

Thanks for listening!

Final Thoughts: Peggle Deluxe (PC)
I'm no stranger to mindless puzzle games (having put countless hours into Tetris when I was a kid), but I haven't really been into those types of games for a long time. In all honesty, I probably never would have even heard of Peggle, never mind have played it, if ...

Final Thoughts: Phantom Hourglass (DS)
I am a Zelda nut. I have owned every game in the series since it began, and have beaten most of them multiple times. That said, I can honestly say that I was not really even looking forward to this game at all. I mean, I knew it was coming...

Final Thoughts: Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)
"Layton's apprentice saves the day!" I'd been looking forward to Professor Layton for a long time because I am a sucker for puzzles and puzzle-type (adventure) games. I picked it up on day one and finished it 100% a few days later, which is a testament to how addicting the ...

Final Thoughts: No More Heroes (WII)
"Trust your force, and enter the garden... of madness!" Suda 51 is a game developer I really admire. Whatever you may think of him or his games, you absolutely have to give him credit for creating works that defy all conventions (and/or completely turn them on their head). His previous ...

Final Thoughts: Super Mario Galaxy (WII)
I fully completed Super Mario Galaxy about a week from the day I got it. What does that mean? In a nutshell, it means the game had to be either a) really short or b) really good (because I rarely ever have enough time to finish a game that quickly ...

Final Thoughts: Zack & Wiki (WII)
Zack & Wiki is a unique puzzle game consisting of a series of levels, each of which is a "puzzle" that must be solved. In one level, your goal may simply be to find a way through a locked door. In another level, you might have to protect your pirate ...

Final Thoughts: LostWinds (WSHP)
LostWinds is the perfect title to illustrate the potential of WiiWare. It features the two things I consider to be most important for games on the service to be a success: 1) Wii-optimized mechanics; and 2) a high value ratio. Number 1 is simple: The game is custom-tailored to the ...

Final Thoughts: Okami (WII)
Okami is a game that I had been interested in ever since it was first shown for PS2. But unfortunately, I never got to play it (not owning a PS2 will do that). Luckily, that all changed last year with the announcement of a long-overdue Wii version. Okami quickly became ...
