User reviews

É bem interesssante. Está um pouco desatualizada porém, faltam franquias, personagens e referências a games mais novos. Gostaria também que houvesse opções de configuração, como permitir alternar entre todos os planos de fundo disponíveis, não apenas entre os backgrouds de uma mesma categoria.
