Thats a really cool idea. I hope theres a way to bold the review score or make it stand out somehow.

It would be something like:

$searchstring = join(' ',@ARGV);

That’s weird. I sent in “Metagamebot: Bioshock” and got responses for Bioshock, Man’s Land: Fight for your Rights, Brain Age and Mind Quiz.

Andrew: because I don’t know enough about Perl. The script receives each word as an argument, and I’m sure I could work something out where I have a while loop concatenating each argument together into a big search string string. I just need to figure that out!

Neat idea, but why not put the string the bot gets in quotes before searching it?

Friggin' Brilliant!

I could have used this service on several occasions in recent memory. Full price video games are not the kind of thing I'll buy on a whim without research (though those under $20 are a different story), and I always finding myself in Gamestop saying to myself "Gee, I wish I knew more about the games on the shelves."
