It was like a giant Excel spread sheet full of just about every game ever made. It was easily sortable too in many different ways. I loved it.

Yea, there are a lot of reviews there on the site. Brett Weiss, who's book I just read, wrote a bunch of them. I hope the site gets archived. I read some forum posts that suggested some people were going to try doing that on archive.org.
I was just looking at my backloggery page and the numbers are kinda misleading because I've listed all the games I have within collections. Thus I have like 160 PSP games, which isn't true. I'm tempted to go back in and get rid of all games within collections for that reason, but I put a lot of time into entering them, so maybe I shouldn't. I dunno. I think I might take them out to reflect the number of games I have more accurately.
Oh wow! Came with 3D glasses? That's pretty cool.
I went back to DQVIII for a few hours and that orchestral music really stood out to me. It's so good, you could really just listen to it without playing.
I wanna see that! Flying laser shooting keytar players! Oh yeah!

Ooo, that would be a good one. You could make each area of the game represent different lineups of the band. The Starless and Bible Black area could be a lightless dungeon in a castle infested with The Inquisition. Your object is to escape torcher and get out, kind of like Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay.
It was such an awesome resource. I like to look at all the games ever made in one massive database. I dont' know if anyone else has done this.
I'd like a game based around prog rock and set in the Court of the Crimson King. It'd be like that Dante's Inferno game but way less stupid. I mean, the gameplay could be all over the place and challenge the heck out of you with musical puzzles that require serious music theory knowledge or super trippy space travel sections where you shoot mind bullets at transgendered-clown-puti (flying baby angels). . . wait. Now I'm getting into avant garde. So nix the flying-baby-clown-transgendered-angels and replace them with a manticore. Yeah! A manticore. Love those things. 
Really though, you make a good point. The great games always have great music. Why not start there? Speaking of which, I just read that the Megaman series was conceived with music in mind.
It was kinda tongue in cheek really, but I wonder when the technology will let that happen.
