In most pages, the header will contain a pen and paper to see that page's history (which all the Master's Guides still do), but they also contain that cute little help sign if you need help on a page. Each of the Master's Guides will have the help icon replaced by that game's logo (usually a smaller version) that will take you to a similar help screen.
The very first thing you'll see when entering this area are the Master's Guides that are currently active. Click on their name or their logo to use them.
The Master's Guides that you find here, do not start out that way. They need your help. Because writing these things can be very time consuming, I have decided to only write Guides for the games that people want.
When I first hear of the game and its details I'll write some brief stuff about it on the front page only. At that point, you need to vote on the game to decide whether or not you think it's worth even having me collect information on it. A game is in collection at that point.
If I collect a total of 10 votes from various people, than that game gets a Preview Page. It will become a clickable link, and I'll slowly gather little odds and ends about the game on one page.
After a game's been released and if I receive 10 more votes in the meantime (for a total of 20 votes), I'll create a true Master's Guide.

Previews and games that are in collection will be located in an area directly below the Master's Guides. You will see their names, some brief details, and what that game's status is. If you want to vote for a game, click on the link below that says Game Voting and send me an E-mail, telling me which game you want to vote for.
Below the voting section, you'll find any Master's Guides that are archived. Those that are archived are stored in a .ZIPped format. To use them, save the file to a temporary directory on your hard drive, and then unzip them, making sure to preserve the existing directory structure in them.
