Whats the table format? I could not find it in the user guide... say for instance if I had a table named online_games what would the model name be? Thanks...

The model names aren't associated with the table's names. You can name it anything as long as it follows the guidelines.

So how does it know the table name?

They don't.
Code:
$query = $this->db->get($table_name);
return ($query->num_rows() > 0) ? $query->result() : FALSE;although there are options like storing the table name in a property.

Although you can call your models anything you want, I call mine the singular of the table (in most cases)
So if I have a users table, the primary model for that table would be user (well, user_model.php, I add the suffix to avoid collisions)
