Welcome to Power-Up Gamers or PUG for short. We're a small, but dedicated community talking primarily about video games, but branching out to other interests as well, but with one thing that should be commonplace no matter where you are on the board: Respect and Common Courtesy- you treat your fellow member with politeness and respect, and not just in back-and-forth reaction, but also when posting a subject for the first time. We're looking for thoughtful members who can express themselves like adults and not 14-year olds- all are welcome though, regardless of age, but contributions can determine if whether you stay or not- just stick to the basic rule, and you'll never find yourself in the doghouse...

If you're inclined to join us, please take a moment to read through The Rules of The Game, the terms and conditions for membership to Power-Up Gamers

Thanks for checking us out, we hope you enjoy your stay...

What we're doing for games, we're doing for movies too... it's the First Annual PUG YOUR Films of the Year Awards for 2005... let's find out what movies you thought were the best of the year. The listings are just limited to films released in 2005, but if you saw them in theatres or on DVD, that doesn't matter...

For more, just click here.

Everybody else breaks it down in sub-categories by platforms and more often than not all Game of the Year type of articles look more like a listing of the most popular games contest... We thought we'd do something different, no polls, no listings by platform- you just tell us what games really did it for you this past year, on any platform...

Lots of really great game suggestions inside this thread- just click here.
