Games not Reviewed on Gamespot (Updated as pmed or messaged)

[QUOTE="TerrorRizzing"]

honestly I could care less what gets reviewed.

Dystonym

You COULD care less? So you do care at least a small amount? What a dumb expression. Not saying you're dumb, it's just the expression that is ridiculous.

In other news, Gamespot reviews have no personality and aren't always that accurate in my opinion.

I believe the proper expression is "I couldn't care less" but well you know how people are.nintendog66

Yeah, it bothers me when I see that expression used wrong. It also bothers me when people use "loose" when they should use "lose".

DCS: Black shark, and X3 Terran Conflict added. Lost PM who sent me and totally forgot about the great helicopter Sim on PC. I think it was jigglywiggly but they are now added.

If they write 100 reviews 95 of them will be crap O.o

Tbh i take the average "user" score for more then GS own score.

Transformers has been "copy paste" reviewed on PC. It has been removed from the list.

The original Jazz Jackrabbit. But it came out in 1994 as a shareware game, so odds were against it anyway. For me, however, this game is better than both SMB3 and the 2D Sonics, Just an incredible, forgotten gem.

If Gamespot didn't have a review, I turn to IGN which is much more diligent with PC game reviews although you may or may not agree with the verdict. Gamespot strikes me as definitely more console-driven. I realized that after seeing a review of a space combat sim where a couple of the dings were for 1. A high learning curve and 2. It requires a joystick. When I read that review, it was like, "You got to be kidding me".

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"]

You know they would have to pay for those PC versions themselves - the games they've already played - if the publishers of games don't send them free copies.

Its the publishers fault, not GS. They're going to send the version that they think will sell the most.

Took Gamespot a Month and a half but Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands now has a PC review though its a copy paste of console review. It has been removed from the list.

In my opinion we need a real PC gamer first. Kevin's reviews are laughable at best tbh. Most reviewers either coppy and paste from the console review or find lame ass reasons to take away points. I mean when I saw SC:C got a negative for PC controls making the game easier, I just laughed.millerlight89

I miss Greg Kasavin.....sure, he reviewed console games as well, but he was a PC Gamer first.

Kings Bounty: Crosswords has been removed as gamespot posted a review of the game weeks after release. Thanks for the pm's for the other sports games. MLB 2k9 and 2k10 have been added to the list.. We have now hit 100. Its really starting to get disconcerting seeing this list. Most of these games have been reviewed by other websites, the multiplats have console reviews but not PC, or good games don't even have box art. Sadly, they just added the Receattear: an Items Tale Box art to gamespot but still no review.

Again, thanks to all who have pmed me to add to the list.

Off-topic: this dictionary lists both forms as being correct:http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/could+care+less

Armageddon Empires:

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/armageddonempires/index.html

This gem deserves to be reviewed but then only by someone who explores all of its possibilities in-depth.

X3: Terran Conflict is listed twice. #20 and #65

Added. Kinda LOL at gamespot on that game. They don't even have a Pc release date for the game yet its been out since last week on PC... Its on steam for 4.99 right now. I might take a peek at it.jedikevin2

Wow, that's a hell of a list. Damn you Gamespot! :evil:flipin_jackass

nope. Its on the list. Gamespot has not reviewed ANY free released games.

I'm almost just feeling I should PM KevinV or something and see what he has to say on why this list is getting so big. I mean come on... Super Meatboy is a 9.0 scored game on consoles and they have not put up a Pc score(granted it did recently release). So many other big name multiplatformers have not been reviewed on PC this year... Times are really LOL on gamespot but i'll continue to update the list.

nope. Its on the list. Gamespot has not reviewed ANY free games.jedikevin2

[QUOTE="jedikevin2"]nope. Its on the list. Gamespot has not reviewed ANY free games.mo0ksi

So how about Alien Swarm, Trackmania Nations forever or even alliance of Valliant arms is a waste of time? I found those games to be very good with big communities and very desrving to be reviewed and they are completely free. There is a prethara of games not reviewed and a waste of time argument is not the best excuse to have considering the amount of games they do review here.

SideNote- I see 2 days ago they finally reviewed Dead Rising 2( Only 3 months late though). I will be removing that game from the list.

Um no idea what your talking about anymore Mo0ksi, Terror rising asked if vindictus was reviewed, I stated it wasn;t and infact none of the free games were. It has nothing to do with specifically signaling gamespot out in that respect. That still does not dismiss those or the other 127 games on this list that have not been reviewed. If the staff is so low as you are portraying then all platforms should be getting hit by the lack of reviews. As you know though, that is not the case. PC in the last 5 years has been heavily neglected on reviews even when the games are multiplatform and the console versions were reviewed.

For example, Episode 2. Why review it when The Orange Box is already reviewed? Notice how it's not reviewed on any platform?

Well offcourse but look at the list and you find just as many BIG name games that are reviewed on consoles but not on PC. This list is simply a list I started based on my blog 6 months ago and games people began to pm or messaged me to add. Outside of that, I periodically check the released games to see if the Pc gamers were reviewed in correlation to the reviews I read at other website publications. Sadly, many aren't reviewed here.

Your feelings on Orange box is correct but all they would have to do is simply but a reference score then. At this time, it deserves some statement about the game or to read the Orange box review etc etc. Portal was also part of the orange box and it has a review here, same for Tf2 but for some reason episode 2 doesn't. It still doesn't make any sense.

It doesn't matter if they're good or not. They're free, so it's hard to place a criteria to a review when the reader literally has nothing to lose from playing said game. Several large publications do not review free games. I don't see why you're singling out Gamespot, especially when their review staff is probably at a handful.mo0ksi

Got a shortlist of other games with pretty positive to good user/critic reviews:

Retail:

Black Mirror 2

Lost Horizon

Ghost Pirates of Voojoo Island

Downloadable:

Max & The Magic Marker

Puzzle Domension

VVVVVV

Jolly Rover

and they missed PES & Football Manager 2011 (Though I assume they would eventually review this...)

Also, the EVE Online review is terribly outdated... so you might as well add it in.

Added. I definitely just picked up Puzzle Dimension off steam. Reminds me of Switchball which I love to play.

I just put 1 EVE online expansion as a placeholder, I know there is like 13 or so expansions which makes that original 2003 review seem like a completely different game. I believe football manager 2011 has a frelancer review and PES has been added though I need to add many of them.

Just a suggestion, but you should find a way to sort them alphabetically. I might even do that one of these days. Just waiting to be done with finals.chandu83

Ok... Its been 3 months so again time to add or remove some games..

A little bit of good news, seems gamespot is giving more respect on the review side of things on non mainstream games.

Games such as the New Magesty 2, Jolly Rover(finally can remove this off my list), and others seem to be getting reviewed now which is a godsend.

Games Added to the list since December 2010

• Test Drive Unlimited 2
• Crasher
• Men of War: Assualt Squad
• Gemini Rue
• Crevures
• Bit Trip Runner
• Bloodline Champions
• Back to the Future: The Game -Episode 2: Get Tannon!
• DCS- A10C Warthog

Gamespot did a review for Bejeweled 3: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/puzzle/bejeweled3/review.html?tag=summary%3Bread-review
