I looked through my launchers.xml file to compare with the allgame website. It looks like your scraper got everything correct (nice job!). However, it looks like allgame is missing plot information for many games (and all information for some games). Gamefaq on the other hand seems to have information for most all games. So if you get a chance I'd suggest adding gamefaq's as a scraper for info as well. I can give examples if you want, but it looks like that was the 'problem' with many of my games not being scraped.
Also I agree with you that it is a good idea to get the base code/features working very well before adding other non-essential features and trinkets.
