Austin and I updated the pages http://kegel.com/wine/good-games.html http://kegel.com/wine/bad-games.html As before, they list the games from the last ten or so years with the highest gamerankings.com scores, along with their appdb scores. The games with platinum or gold are considered 'good', and the games with any lower appdb ratings are considered 'bad'. Clicking on a column title now sorts the table by that column. We also added 1999 to the list, and added a bunch of games that were previously missing. According to this count, the top 570 or so games since 1999, Wine handles 227 well, and 237 poorly. http://kegel.com/wine/missing-games.html is the list of games we haven't been able to put into one of the above two pages yet. Mostly this is because they're expansion packs, and my script can't handle that yet, but some of them *simply don't have appdb entries* (gasp).

Otherwise, that's interesting data.
Just a grammar thing, but...> Gamerankings.com's top 50 games for each year 1998-2010 whose AppDB rating is matches Gold|PlatinumWouldn't that be better like this: Gamerankings.com's top 50 games for each year in 1998-2010 of which the AppDB rating matches Gold|Platinum Nice work on the lists. :)
