Actualy Greg I was thinking more along the lines of allowing for web-database
queries that allow players to be able to customise searches for games they
like and for for games companies/GMs to have access to the database so that
they can update information about their own games as well as post new ones
when they become available.

Players could then access the search form and enter the criteria (genre, price
range, turn transport mechanism) and other details - press one button and a
complete list comes back to them in another page showing them all the relevant
games that matched their searches.

It would also be possible to run an automatic program that watches out for new
games that match the player's choices and generate an email when new games are
added to the database.
