Yeah Gamespot's iPhone database is pretty bad. They don't even remove LITE versions of games. Plus they include things that aren't even games like stat trackers and point packs. And since its just a copy and paste the description always looks bad, with all uppercase. "=======" and asterisks heavily used.
I'm surprised they approved doing this, it makes the site look bad.
Depending on what source you use, there's between 6,000 to 15,000 iPhone games out there. Gamespot simply ran a bot or used an API to extract every iPhone to their database. Any there are dozens of other sites that do the same. So adding every game manually to GB seems like a bad idea.
" Once they enter the queue they will never leave until manually approved. There's even a bug that sometimes forces submissions from established users into the queue, and we 50,000 point contributors then have to wait for a moderator to approve them! "
I've never had that happen before....but maybe that's cause I'm not quite to 50,000 yet. ;P "
Yesterday I had 5 submission that had to be approved. I happens every once in a while. On top of that it gave me 5 PM's, which resulted in the bug where it says you have unread mail when you don't. So 2 bugs in 1 :)
I spend a lot of time on Digg, and just to you know that link is considered spam and is if definitely not something that will end up on the front page. You have to have some sort of content, like a news story or an interesting concept on Giant Bomb, not just "here go to this website".
