How should the database table be defined to store the game information effectively?

To store game information effectively in a database table, we should define the table with the necessary columns to store relevant data such as game ID, name, genre, release date, developer, and platform. It's important to set appropriate data types for each column and establish relationships with other tables if needed. Additionally, indexing key columns can improve query performance. 

CREATE TABLE games (
    id INT PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    genre VARCHAR(50),
    release_date DATE,
    developer VARCHAR(100),
    platform VARCHAR(50)
);
