What games database do you use to catalog your collection?

[Funk Buddy]

Add away, just double check though as some titles are listed under the complete name. Example being any of the Tom Clancy games, its not listed as Splinter Cell, but Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell.

Thanks for contributing to the site :)

Yes, especially for Japanese games. Look for the common title and for the proper translation.

me 2 excel.....

For online I use RF Generation of course (duh I'm co-founder). For my offline stuff I was using some RF Gen printable checklists until I got my PDA. Now I use Excel. For online trading I use RF Generation and http://www.tradegamesnow.com TGN is a decent site, easy to add games, and it's free unlike Game TZ.

Any recommendations on a good database to use?

I've been in a buying frenzy of late, and finally came to the realization that I desperate need to catalog these piles of games lying around. Because I'm starting a huge list from scratch, it would be helpful if the site made searching and adding games VERY quick and easy. Also a huge plus, if one is available, is a database that gives you details on the value of the game. And finally, since I collect for a few more obscure systems, it would be helpful if it wasn't missing whole gaps of games or systems.

Well i've just recently put my collection up on VGrebirth and found it really quick and easy. There doesn't seem to be a large amount of Euro stuff on there but if you are American then you'll be fine.

I use IGN for the following reasons.

1. I love all the column options. Box art, developer, publisher, release date, genre and especially the reader ratings which I think are pretty accurate!
2. I like the stats. Favored developer, collection value(even though its way off), the average scores ect...just wish there were more!
3. I like how they have pretty much a complete database.
4. I like all the different ways you can sort and customize your collection and how easy it is to do.
5. I like how the wish list has all of the same features the collection does.

The only things I wish they had were a place to add pictures and a column that shows how many other users in their database own and want a particular game(like Gamespot does).

Here is another vote for Rf Generation.

[OatBob]

RFGeneration would get my vote. The community is friendly, and their databases for current consoles are generally kept up to date.

Hmm....I take the sad teenager route and just have a huge list on my LiveJournal. Makes it easy to find and I can access it from other peoples' houses. And I have a copy on my PC at home too.

(For the interested, LJ name same as here.)

[Damaramu]

As I stated previously, I use VGRebirth...but I'm in the process of migrating my list over to RFGeneration. Being able to print out my collection lists is really handy.

[Icarus Moonsight]

*looks down at sig* um... RFG? I guess. :) I have used IGN but that was a while ago... my on site list is simply *.txt files in notepad within a Collection directory. I was planning to add an image directory and possibly make html files so the lists will be pictured and linked and such... but, it's not high priority or anything. Hence, may never actually get done. :p

I just use a big Excel spreadsheet. I can do all kinds of manipulation to the data this way, and I'm not relying on anyone else's website.

[ScourDX]

I use both Excel and IGN conjunctionally. I like to create my own list so I can keep track all my games condition, value & rarity. I also use IGN because it was the first online collection database I used. Right now I am too lazy to go to other website and start another online collection database.
