Wishlist:

• Potentially improve CSS/styling after testing on different layouts
• Interactive: Implement a way to click on a game and save it (maybe by e-mail notification or html file that can be browsed / managed)
• Interactive: Click to advance to next game
• Expand this module to include more Indie game sources.
