Just a little introduction to this site and some of what we plan to offer.

So, just what is TheIGDB all about then?
It's simple. It's The Internet Gaming DataBase, see what we did there? The site is the Internet's first professionally researched database stritically for gaming. It's been researched and produced with support from all the major publishers and developers meaning the data found within is the definitive gaming information.

What time span does the site cover?
The site once complete will be a definitive list of games from the very start of gaming history right through to the newest next-gen releases. The site is updated constantly on a day-to-day basis meaning that as soon as a new game is announced you'll be able to find all the info you need here within minutes. Likewise, should you be looking for a golden oldie you played when you were younger then we'll have it here.

Why is the site important?
Because we feel that only through continued mature sites such as this can gaming truly take its rightful place in modern culture. In monetary terms the games industry is bigger than Hollywood, yet there has been no professional effort to collate an industry site that focuses on the games and the people that made them. Subsequently the site will be community focused. Despite our best efforts, and those of modern publishers and developers it's often very hard to find out a piece of boxart for a game that was released in the 80's .This is where you come in. Register on the site, join our community on the forums and help contribute to make the database as complete as can reasonably be expected.

Do I have to pay to register?
No, the site is, and always shall be free to use.
