Your friend in gaming- SkidrowGames

You might've sometimes in your torrenting history encountered cracks with bugs that don't even run. You might've also run in the dark on which game to download today. Presenting to you the one solution to all these problems, SkidrowGames(www.skidrowgames.net).



The website has a neat and user-friendly interface which resembles one of the popular blog layouts. All the menus (1) are neatly arranged on top based on what the user wants to download. Most of the games can be downloaded by torrent, and those which cant be downloaded by torrent have various links to the file. The bar below the menus (2) features all the currently popular games. One can click on a game to view its details and download it.  All the games available are then listed one after another (3) based on when they were uploaded. Recent games come first, and as the user proceeds towards the older pages the games become older, much in the way newer posts preceed older posts in blogs. There is also a search button (4) for the users to search for the required game. Apart from PC games, the website also has a collection of some console games.

What to do if you cant find a game

If you can't find a game, try the following steps. For the tutorial, we have chosen "Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3", which all Anime fans (like me) will know about. The reason for taking this is because this game is most prone to searching mistakes, with complex spellings and more words.

  • Check for spelling errors: This is the most important step. Check for any spelling errors that you may have made while searching for a game. Even a single addition or subtraction of letters might prevent the game from being searched.  
    Difference an extra "n" (in shippuden) can make. Due to the addition of the extra n, the website fails to search the desired game.
  • Enter full names: Many of us have the habit of abbreviating anything with more than 3 words while searching for it. This may work in search engines like Google, but in SkidrowGames you will have to enter the full name to get the desired result.

  • D0N'7 S34RC# L1K3 7H1S: The first reaction of many of you on seeing this will be, "The hell is this?" I know. You might have seen people substituting letters for numbers and signs that resemble the letters. DON'T search like this, as no website has enough brains to crack what you have written. Also, don't put hashtags while searching. Are demonstrations really needed for this you don't say fact?
