Music - Guitar Hero Aerosmith

I left a few games out that had different titles in different regions (except Sudoku) until we can come up with a solution for these titles.

"Come up with a solution" a.k.a. Badges 2.0 I hope, lol! =P
Good choice of games to add. GH: Aerosmith, Bad Company, and Buku Sodoku are the only of interest to me...hopefully they help and not hinder, lol!
Thanks again!

Well, you know the gamer's region already (at the top of the blog next to Gamerscore and Zone, there is a flag with the country name), why not use that to have specific region genres (i.e. US Puzzle and Japan Puzzle)?
The only difference will be the one game that is released for that region. In this example, we have Buku Sudoku and Buku数字パズル (which translates to: Action figures Buku).
So... Genre updates today were (example):
US Puzzle: Tetris Evolution, Word Puzzle, and Buku Sudoku
Japan Puzzle: Tetris Evolution, Word Puzzle, and Buku数字パズル
Another example would be with Crackdown and Riot Act, which are both the same. Riot Act is the title given to the Japan release of Crackdown. If there were to be region based genres, Riot Act would go into the Japan Sandbox while Crackdown goes into all others.
It may sound like a pain to deal with many duplicate genres dedicated to specific regions, but I'm sure there is a way.

Army of two has different renationalized versions, it sucks but cant complain, a great great site. Adding tetris has just gave me the puzzle badge too which is awesome. I knew you had done a update before i read the dev blog, just didnt know what.

Would it make sense for Mad Tracks to be considered a Racing game? Just throwing it out there. You guys ROCK!
