When adding a new game, typing the title suggests existing games in the database with matching or similar titles ("Please check that the game you're adding isn't already in the database"). It would be helpful to not just show a matching game, but also the title that the match was made against if it was an alternate title.

This has happened to me twice recently: I added a new game only to later realize (after it was approved) that it had already been in the database under a different title. If I had seen that title in that first step, that might have been prevented.

The two examples where this happened: I added "AMBL: Alien Monster Bowling League", not realizing that that is an alternate title for "Galactic Bowling", and "Skate City: Heroes", not realizing it was an alternate title for "Skate Attack".
