BloodRayne DVD (Marked as Promo DVD)

BloodRayne Double Feature Movie Pack (Marked as a PC game)

BloodRayne 2 DVD (Marked as Promo DVD)

BloodRayne Third Reich DVD (Marked as Promo DVD)
http://vgcollect.com/item/50612

Do we allow this stuff?  I can kind of get the Promo DVDs since they are video game related, and that could possibly be the line that will prevent people from uploading their DVD collections.  But marking the 2 pack as a PC game... nope.

I may or may not have been the one to reject this (I'm trying to recall), but I recall rejecting an edit earlier today because it was in the "description" field rather than the "box text" field.  Just in case that was the issue!
Didn't see this reply.  No, it was on the box text field.  Says so in my notifications.

I saw your new edit and approved it :) let me know if you run into another issue. There have been a loooot of edits submitted so human error can take its toll on the approvals/rejections :P

There are 36 results for "Watch Dogs" that should be renamed to "Watch_Dogs".

I know the box has the underline in between the words, but it looks like Ubisoft's official Twitter account and Facebook account has the title listed as "Watch Dogs" without all-caps and without the underline.  I'm going to lean more towards that way of standardizing the title.

I'm personally ok with people adding an alt title of WATCH_DOGS if they really want to, though not sure how the other admins feel.

The underscore is barely noticeable on the box. The game is Watch Dogs.

The underscore is a stylization.  Not the official title.

The first 3 have the PC Game as part of DVD-ROM content. It should work but maybe not exactly in the PC category. The Third Reich DVD I can't find many details as to what exactly it contains. If it contains a PC Game as well its fine. Double Feature should probably be moved into Promo DVD.

I removed it. The only known Sega releases were on MD and Game Gear, both in Europe.

I got one rejected edit and one edited entry by mastafafik where he is referring to the VGCollect Style Guide, which I have read and I believe his interpretation of it is wrong.

So, I edited/created the following entries:

http://vgcollect.com/item/65629 Ghostbusters - Ricochet
http://vgcollect.com/item/98704 Hard Drivin' - The Hit Squad

Quite quickly after that they were renamed to:

http://vgcollect.com/item/65629 Ghostbusters (Ricochet)
http://vgcollect.com/item/98704 Hard Drivin' (The Hit Squad)

I believe this to be wrong. If checking the guidelines there are two chapters which could come into play here:

Games denoting Special Editions, Limited Editions, Box Sets and or Bundles: The Dash "-" is meant to show special releases, such as limited or collector's editions, greatest hits/ player's choice and any other special release or compliation. Of course, if a game is a special release with variations it would look something like this. Chrono Cross - Greatest Hits or Chrono Cross - Greatest Hits (Silver Backed Disc) Also, it's prolly a good idea to stay away from the word "with" and replace it with "bundle", since most of the time that's what all the game companies call them.

    Bioshock - Platinum Hits <-- This is what my edits refer to
    Castlevania - Classic NES Series <-- This is what my edits refer to
    Devil May Cry - 5th Anniversary Collection
    Dragon Age: Origins - Ultimate Edition
    Fallout: New Vegas - Collector's Edition
    Grand Theft Auto III -  Greatest Hits <-- This is what my edits refer to
    Super Smash Bros. Melee - Player's Choice
    Warcraft III - Collector's Edition

Games with variants to Box Art, Cart Art or Discs: Parenthesis "( )" are used to denote variations. So if a NES game was released with both a 5 screw cart or a 3 screw cart, it would be listed something like Burgertime (3 Screw Cartridge) or Burgertime (5 Screw Cartridge), or if a game has variant cart or disc labeling, like a lot of Atari games... such as Adventure (Sears Picture Label) and Adventure (Sears Text Label). Of course Atari games can have up to 5 or so variations, which means a separate listing for each one.

    Paperboy (Oval Seal)
    Paperboy (Round Seal)
    Super Mario Bros. 3 (Bros over Mario's Head)
    Super Mario Bros. 3 (Bros on Mario's hand)
    Ridge Racer (Not For Resale)


The entries above are budget rereleases of games originally released earlier, just like in the example above where Grand Theft Auto III - Greatest Hits is a rerelease at a later time. Therefore I believe the titles should be changed back to:

http://vgcollect.com/item/65629 Ghostbusters - Ricochet
http://vgcollect.com/item/98704 Hard Drivin' - The Hit Squad

I don't know anything about those games really, but is the variation due to the publisher of the game? The game itself is no different than the regular Ghostbusters game, I'm assuming...

Is the game itself also marked differently or just the outside packaging?

Titles approved/fixed. Also found 2 others in the db that had () that I fixed.

Those two were the only (besides Vindicator) that had the wrong formatting. There are a bunch of other Ricochet and Hit Squad releases in the DB already.

I found this one while perusing the Wii selection...

The UK/EU box art was used and based on the information/release date of that listing, I'm thinking it should be this one... http://vgcollect.com/item/41271
