The free personal club pages feature tabs for blogs, interactive lists, reader reviews and FAQ submissions, allowing easy access and display of user-created content. Club.IGN members can fully personalize their pages by creating their own headers, customizing their colors, or choosing from headers provided by the community and IGN sponsors. IGN.com also features one of the largest game and movie databases online, so users are able to link their entries with specific game or movie titles to tie them in closer with the editor-created content on the site.

In addition to daily blogs by the site's games and entertainment editorial teams, Club.IGN will also be host to official blogs spanning all of the site's content areas. IGN's popular film and TV director and videogame developer diaries will also be hosted at Club.IGN.

IGN.com's user pages are getting a lift as well. Currently, members maintain user pages where they track videogames they want to own as well as maintain their current game collection. Members are tracking more than 12 million videogames they want or own from a selection of almost 40,000 games. The new IGN list manager adds the ability to set up wishlists, current collections and all-new custom lists for DVD and UMD movies. As with videogames, users can detail what titles they own, what they want to buy next, and contribute ratings and rankings. The list manager also adds the ability for users to filter, display and sort these lists in many different ways.

"Our audience has been asking us for this and helped shape many of the features. IGN.com has extremely passionate, influential and, most of all, creative readers. More than just vocal, they create painstakingly written reviews and FAQs that they regularly post to the site. They want to share their opinions in all areas of entertainment and popular culture," said Peer Schneider, Vice President of Publishing, IGN Entertainment. "We created Club.IGN to allow them to do just that."
