I really like the idea of having "front page" reviews complete with screen shots and extras for ISO games. I have brought up the idea before but did not get much response. The problem with linking them to the cellar is that the cellar relies on third party hosting which could disappear at any given moment and/or create bad links as games are dropped from the various hosting sites.
Obviously hosting such games on Abandonia takes care of that problem. I have always suspected (but have never seen it confirmed anywhere) that the pieces of eight would somehow, someday play into the process of hosting larger (ISO) games. Perhaps they will be used to "purchase" the ability to download a large game that requires extra bandwidth. That would be beneficial to Abandonia on a number of levels.
