Site updates
In May, we did a lot of work on the site. Some notable changes:
- Major overhaul of partner data
- "Games companies" now replace Developers and Publishers being split into two records
- Review sites can have a Twitter id
- Design changes to the site - namely, a few tweaks to the fonts
- Video partnership with SwitchedOnGames
- Started storing the year/month rank for games
- Game pages now show the year/month rank, and the year rank
- Quick reviews - lots of tweaks to make it easier to add a quick review
- Games collection now shows the number of players
On top of this list, we also made a bunch of changes to the back-end screens, admin area, and the tools we use to update the games database.
A busy month!
