Game Database

One of the sites I've been spending a lot of time on is MobyGames. MobyGames is a web based database for all your games and systems. It has a ton of games cataloged under the systems it was released for. The great thing about it is that if you can't find a game you were wanting put on your wish list or have list, you can put it on there yourself. Everything is user contributed. You can review games, put up screenshots of the game in action or photos of the box covers. Check it out.
