The only thing I really want from this feature is the ability to have my "My Easy Achievements" page not be filled up with achievements from games that I don't have any more. I know there are a bunch of "easy" achievements that I never got in Kameo, but let's face it, that's just not going to happen for me. Same goes for Burnout Revenge and, LOTR: BFME2--where the server has been shut down (which, btw, means those achievements are not only not "easy," they're not even possible).

You should be able to hide certain games from your lists, and I do believe they will be hidden from the My easy achievements list as well.

Definitely would love to see a "Games I Own" section. This would make looking at achievements, finding gaming sessions, etc much more easy and convenient for everybody!

It's time to start planning this.

Jay - as the chief promotor do you want to amalgamate the best ideas into a single post and we can work on the details?

So, here's a slightly more rounded out idea with some of the added functionality that's been suggested through the thread.

My Games Collection

Accessible from the "My Pages" drop down. Display the games as a grid, 2 games wide and however many long. Have if possible the game art displayed on the left and the following information adjacent right: Name, G/TA value, G/TA earned, User rating, Achievements possible/earned, Date started, Date finished.

The games should be sortable by platform type. Sorting options Xbox 360 Retail, XBLA, WP and GFWL.

You should be able to sort by, Unstarted, Unfinished and Completed.

You should be able to distinguish between DLC packs you do and don't own.

Added functionality:

Being able to flag a game as something you're looking to boost.
Being able to have the unstarted games in your collection calculated into your completion percentage.
Being able to see/create boosting sessions for unstarted games in your collection.
Being able to add unstarted games in your collection into the "Easy Achievements" function.
Being able to use unstarted games in your collection with the To Do list function. So, adding achievements from games you haven't started yet.

Extra stuff:

Have a "To Start" side box on your home page. Similar in nature to the "To Do" box.
Being able to create goals against these games.
Have new goal types such as "Start X many games from the unstarted in my collection"

That's all I can think of right now. If anyone else has any thoughts or suggestions feel free to post them though.

I love it and I could even imagine how it would look. I'm all for it.

Any plans to have games from other consoles as well? Same options as the already mentioned formats, without achievements functions of course.

Yeah, it's been mentioned previously but mostly seen as unnecessary. I understand the principle of it but this isn't a game collectors community where we all want to gather round showing off our entire gaming collection.

I just don't see the real benefit of being able to show every game I own on every platform.

Just asking since we are a couple in here that has shown some interest in it. But I do see the benefit of limiting the game database.

Only thing with other consoles I want is the ability to create boosting sessions for PS3 games, but that's a completely different discussion from this.

Adding boostability of games I haven't started yet is very NICE.

I thought it would be useful to have a "status" for all the games.

So you could have "Got", "Lent out", "Sold" etc if you have a game with achievements on it. Then only the "Got" ones would show when someone else looks at your list?

(need a better word than "got", clearly)
