Website Review: My GamerCard.net

Today I will share a website I check out very frequently. It is www.mygamercard.net It is an official Microsoft Community Developer. It is also a really fun website to check out if you are interested in your gamerscore. I know it's hard not to be, but if you are primarily interested in only the games you play and the fun you have with them, then this site probably isn't for you.

In terms of setting up an account is does take a few minutes of work, but, in my opinion, it is worth it. You take a few steps to verify that your gamertag is actually you and then you are all set. On the site you can look at your rankings compared to all of the other users or just other users in your country. There are stats based on your full gamerscore, your percent completion in all your games, and also those same stats broken down on a game by game basis. I must say it's pretty neat to have an actual visual cue to see which games are more popular based on the average gamer points earned in them. For example Halo 3, which we can all admit is fairly popular, has an average gamerscore earned from the site's members as about 476. On the other hand, Project Gotham Racing 3, an older game and probably not as often played since there's a new version out, has an average of around .

One other feature they offer is on the main page you can customize your own gamercard in multiple ways. One that I really like is this setup:

What I really like about this as well, is that it gives you very simple HTML code that can be used at places the normal code that Microsoft gives you can't. Also, there are many different styles so you can customize it to your liking.

I've only scratched the surface of all of the items this website offers people who are really into statistics regarding their gamerscore, so head on over to www.mygamercard.net to check it out for yourself.
