PC Gaming Standards

Hi everyone, I'm a long time PC gamer and recently started coding a website in my spare time PCGS - Home which I hope everyone can benefit from.

The basic idea is to pool all the known problems with modern games (lack of proper widescreen support, forced Vsync, lack of AA and AF options etc) into one database where they're documented and easy to find, most importantly if known fixes are available these are linked directly to make correcting your problems as easy as possible.

I'd just like to stress that this is a personal project I'm working on in my spare time, it's not commercial in any way, it's not there to make money from traffic, there's no adverts, no sponsors, no associates. Currently it's hosted on my PC at home so maybe a little slow when traffic picks up, don't worry dedicated hosting is coming soon.

The website is still in very early stages, there maybe some bugs, I'd really appreciate your feedback both on any problems you find but on the features themselves, if you think something can be improved or something vital is missing then please post, PM me or use the contact form on the site.

Also because it's still new there isn't many games added to the database, this is a long job and requires access to the games to confirm if they pass/fail all the catagories, so I cannot do all the work myself, to help I have added a add game button at the bottom of the website which will allow you to submit a game for review which will be checked to the best of my ability and added.

I hope you all find this helpful, it's my honest attempt at giving something back to the PC gaming community. All your feedback is welcome both good and bad, it all helps me improve the site :thumbup1:

Hello, PrincessFrosty and welcome to SpawnPoint.

I have had a good read of your website and there is some really useful information on there.

Thanks, I'm trying to continually improve the site, so any feedback would be welcome, and if anyone can help add games that would be a big benefit.

A quick bump to say that the site is now on dedicated hosting and I hope that it's much quicker for everyone :)

There might be a few bugs, I was up until 1:30am smoothing it all out last night, so I hope I didn't miss anything but you never know, let me know if you spot any errors or have any other suggestions.

I feel the site is reaching a point where I can really push it out to a wider audience now, so far I've only been giving out details to a select few forums. So if anyone wants to pass on the word in any way they can that would be appreciated.

Good to hear the news, I shall post details of the website on exe when I get the chance. I am in the process of redoing a links section, so I will add it on as soon as possible.

Just some quick updates from the last week or so.


  • Forums have been styled and registration fixed
  • News items on the front page now link directly to the right news item
  • The news page itself has had an overhaul and has an index made for easier browsing
  • New blog post, if you have a spare minute a comment wouldn't go astray
  • Loads of minor tweaks, some differences between FF and IE solved
  • Some games added, some tweaked for corrections and updates


The more important news is that the site even though it's very young is drawing some attention from other members of the gaming community, as well as increased traffic in general I've also featured on NVnews and Rage3d news sections.

I've also had feedback directly from a game developer which I didn't think would happen for at least 6 months or so, this proves the site can be a force for good, I've also had EVGA follow my twitter account which is interesting.

I really feel like the ball is really starting to get rolling, thank again everyone who has given feedback, added games, sent in corrections and suggestions for the site :)
