Need Help - List of Past Game Releases by Date?

So, long story short, I lost the spreadsheet that I use to keep track of game releases and my want list, and the last backup that I have is from the beginning of last year. So, I'm trying to see if I can rebuild the list.

Here's the thing. I can find plenty of ways to look at upcoming releases by release date, but I can't find anything that will allow me to view a list of games released in the past by release date. the couple of places that I thought of, like Gamefaqs, don't seem to have any way to view a list by date. Anyone have any ideas?

    Can't VIEW a list of them on Gamefaqs, but you can compile your own using the data they give...

    Dunno of any places other than that, though.

    If you're willing to trust Wikipedia, their lists are sortable by release date. Here's the one for the Wii that I brought up as a test, the others probably won't be hard to find: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_games

    Wikipedia's a good ieda, actually. I checked it out an it's not bad, but it does appear to have a lot of holes. Still, it might do in a pinch, so thanks for the suggestion.

    Anyone have any other ideas?

    I know IGN has an upcoming release, pretty sure no past one. Might be worth a look.

    Couldn't find what I was looking for on IGN or 1up, but I did take a swing at Gamespot, and that actually gets pretty close, but there's no way to filter out Japanese games, which makes it a pain.

    What's the name of the backlog manager that people use for their sigs? I lost the bookmark I had for it as well, and can't seem to google it. If it's got a big game database, I could give it a shot.
