A few additional suggestions:
- a "browse by top votes" might indeed be handy. Just having a small button to scroll to the next page of "most voted by community" should suffice.
- have some sort of standard for the name used in the list, such as using the US title whenever possible. It's certainly odd to have Serf City, Settlers 2, and Settlers 3 be the three entires in the series listed.
- maintain a list of alternate names and have the search function handle them. Possibly allow users to submit such name variations. The alternatives need not include typos and versions with the subtitles omitted (such as "Incubation" as an alternative of "Incubation: Time is Running Out"), just titles that are significantly different and won't pop up as a result during searches otherwise.
Fallout 1 or 2 has occupied the spot of best selling game on the site for , apparently - and surely most people already own those games as well, no? Maybe, or maybe not, fact is, there is a demand for such games.

groovychainsaw: I already own most of the classics and I'm hoping that more of the forgotten gems will turn up here rather than the system shocks/baldur's gates of the world, surely most people own those??
