This might sound crazy, but I haven't been able to get the idea of making my own Freeware Games site out of my head.

I know there are a lot of good freeware games sites out there - Caiman, Curly's World, Game Hippo, freeware.remakes.org and so on. However, I think that these sites need to be improved in the following areas:

1. Flexibility (Most freeware sites lack the ability to easily search and sort)
2. Quantity over Quality (Which is only a bad thing when there's no easy way to filter out the crap games)
3. Multi-platform (Most freeware sites seem to ignore anything from the Mac and Linux world)
4. Tidiness (Most freeware sites seem to be heavily cluttered with advertisements and game categories)
5. Reviews from end users (Most freeware sites only have reviews by the webmaster)

So, I am thinking of starting a new freeware site from scratch, based loosely on the look of game page I made for the Playmaker site but with filtering and sorting options along the top.

My vision for the site is a vast collection of freeware games that can be easily sorted by date, title or rating, or filtered by platform, genre, perspective, multiplayer options or theme, right from the front page.

In short, my site should be able be able to quickly find any game that the user feels like playing at that time.

I want to design it in such a way that if you're looking for, say, a well reviewed comedic multiplayer first person puzzler for Mac, or, say, a recent side scrolling single player RPG with a Sci-Fi theme for linux, then, assuming it exists, you should be able to find it without leaving the front page of the site.

I plan to start setting up a test site soon, but what I am after is feedback on my idea, and also volunteers who can help with populate the site in the early stages.
