The idea
The goal is to bring different worlds together in the same list: major AAA titles, indie gems, games you may have never heard of, and others you may have simply forgotten about.
The GVS score
To do that, GVS uses a scoring system that takes several factors into account: reviews, original price, current price, discount, and other elements that help evaluate the offer.
The result is a Top 100 ranked by GVS score: a list you can open, explore, and come back to over time, because it changes along with the discounts.
This balance was one of the most important things for me: avoiding a list dominated only by big releases or by cheap games.
The list experience
GVS becomes something you can explore every day, or every week.
And that is the beauty of the list: a continuous mix of big, small, and mid-sized productions.
That is what I want the GVS experience to be: discovery.
And, while you are at it, maybe even a way to save some money.
Filters
I also added filters, because I am sure some people will prefer a more focused view, maybe by genre, game length, or other criteria. This makes the list more personal without taking away the pleasure of discovery.
What GVS is not
What GVS is not: a price comparison site.
There are plenty of clone sites like that and, honestly, I never use them. If I want to know when a specific game goes on sale, I add it to my wishlist.
So no, GVS is not a place where you type the name of a game just to see where it costs less.
GVS starts from a different idea: using discounts and the score to unlock new discoveries. A major title that used to cost too much, a game you had forgotten about, an indie gem you did not know existed: GVS tries to bring them into the same list, giving each one a chance to stand out.
Stories
There is also a Stories section, where I talk about games and often write about titles from the list that I have personally played.
GVS is discovery and wonder, as gaming should be.
