Okay, what about the following ?

* Genre (Fantasy, Science Fiction, Horror, Historical, etc)
* Type (Roleplaying, strategy)
* Turn Period (Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly etc)
* Play Method (Mail, Email, Web, GUI, ICQ)
* Game Struture (Freeform, Open-ended, Close-ended)
* Price (Free or price)
* Game Developer
* GM (Company/person)
* Contact details
* Brief blurb about the game

Players can also leave comments about the game that can be displayed and give
ratings. We'll have the ability to generate graphs on te fly as well so you
can compare all the player ratings for this game against the average index of
all games in the list.

Any comments ? Suggestions ? Changes ? Adds ?
