A single overbranching game forum would be fine by me, especially since there has been a bit of confusion in the past about where to put threads about certain games/events and what to do when a game goes to different platforms, etc. (for example we had a Prey thread in general gaming and a Prey thread in the Xbox forum...wouldn't it make sense to just have ONE Prey thread since it's the same game?).

Out of curiosity though, would it be possible to set it up so that you could filter threads based on the tags they have? So if, for example, a person only wants Xbox 360 news, they can set it so that threads about Wii, PS3, DS, PSP, PC, etc. don't show up? Since I own (or will be owning) all the current systems it isn't something I'd use personally, but it might make things more convenient for anyone that only cares about news for a limited number of platforms.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sounds like a good enough layout, although rather than a generic "multiplatform" moniker, maybe be able to set multiple tags for each system the game is coming out for. It would make filtering easier, so that if you want to see all the upcoming games for a specific system, you don't miss any by unchecking multiplatform which may include games coming out for that system. Otherwise it seems like there'd be a pretty large amount of games with the multiplatform tag, and it would also be somewhat confusing when a game goes multiplatform later on and the tag would need to be changed.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow, it's amazing how much shorter the root of the forum looks with all of the game threads condensed into a single sub-forum. I think it looks nice, I'll probably see quite a few threads I would've missed otherwise this way. And maybe I'm just missing something, but is there/will there be a way to filter multiple tags at once instead of being limited to either seeing all the tags or only seeing one?

I like the icons, they're quite flashy. Almost seem a LITTLE big though, would it be possible to have the option for a reduced size or even text tag in their place? I thought they'd be in a column the size of thread status row when I first heard the idea.

Oh, and this is a total nitpick, but shouldn't Twilight Princess have the Multi tag since it's on both Gamecube and Wii?
