    Hello, I read through the replies and I saw that I could make a new discussion about the game list bugs, so here it is . First things first, the bug that I actually reported yesterday though, I actually can't get it to do it anymore no matter how much I try... which is a good thing! but something else has been "BUGging" (that joke was bad ) me since I have been using the lists.

    Whenever I search for ANY game, it never searches for what I want. This makes searching for games to be a pain. Here is an example:

    *types in Resident Evil 6 in the search bar*

    *I get many results. The first 20 results that come up can be for anything... ranging from Super Mario to Gears of War*. More often than not my results seem to be around half way down the huge list or sometimes surprisingly near the bottom. It's like there is no order, it just generates a random list with "Resident Evil 6" in there somewhere, without fail.

    That isn't the only frustrating thing about it. It sometimes takes quite a while for it to actually search for the list of games too, but not too often.

    There is a work around, but it is a long way. You can use the usual method of searching for the games through-out GameSpot and clicking on the individual games and clicking the + sign next to the"Follow"and adding to list, but this obviously takes a lot longer, especially when the drop down list on the game list page should do that job anyway.

    Thanks

    I'm awful . First off let me state that "Resident Evil 6" was just an example of mine, and I didn't make myself very clear. By game lists, I actually meant this:

    http://uk.gamespot.com/game-list



    I am not 100% sure, but you may have to make your own list to try this out, if you haven't already.
