Gaming's FAQ states that it is inappropriate to ask for computer game recommendations.
Which Stack Exchange site is appropriate for such a question?

1This is the ultimate subjective question, and the StackExchange Q/A format just isn't well suited for it.– user229044Commented Dec 7, 2011 at 19:05

@meagar Although you're perhaps generally correct there, some StackExchange sites have somewhat different rules than each other about what makes a good question. For instance, on Gardening and Landscaping, it's perfectly okay to ask for plant recommendations (but on Seasoned Advice, you can't ask for recipe recommendations).– BrōtsyorfuzthrāxCommented Nov 3, 2017 at 5:55

None currently. I had a proposal in Area51 for it but it appears to have been closed.
I recommend Gaming's Chat, there are (mostly) nice people that love to talk about games there.
If you mean video games, there is a StackExchange site where this is on-topic. It's called Software Recommendations. Video games are software—so, yeah. There is a games tag. See the help center for more information on what kind of game recommendation questions you can ask.
Anyway, if you also want to ask about board games, pen-and-paper RPGs, social games, night games (e.g. capture the flag) and stuff, I've begun looking for such a site—but, I haven't found one, yet.
The Stack Exchange sites are a place for asking questions which have real, objective answers. It is not a full-on replacement for a discussion forum. Not all things that you could talk about on a forum are legitimate SE questions.

Programmers have no problems with recommending programming books. I would ask an objective question -- e.g. name titles that satisfy some conditions.– ipavlicCommented Dec 7, 2011 at 23:04
