This site sucks pretty bad in terms of creating a video game list.
For titles with no reviews, you must write a review in order to rate it, because for some reason they just don't want you to rate unreviewed games. Released games that have been widely accepted as legitimate entries such as Silent Hills P.T also cannot be rated. You also can't edit your scores once rated without deleting it and rating it again.
You can only edit console(s) used as well as many other things IF ONLY you write a review for the entry. If not, it will automatically tag the console for you. I played Dark Souls Prepare to Die and now it says on my list I played on the PS3 (although I did play on the PS3 for a bit and it was admittedly a much better experience). It's just annoying and restrictive.
Titles as part of your completed entries can only be added onto your list by rating it. If you can't decide on the score, you can't add them. There are games I haven't added because of this, and there are also games where I either haven't finished entirely or games I needed to replay being added with somewhat irresponsible scores. Generally I don't do this, though.
In short, the site looks kind of nice with little colorful title icons on your list but it's definitely a bad site for listing. This isn't a site for making your list, it's for reviewing. And even for reviews, the traffic is nowhere near adequate to support a good reviewing environment (99.99%, not exaggerating, of the reviews all have '1 out of 1 found helpful' which is yourself getting automatically marked helpful for yourself. Thanks Gamespot.). I'm sticking with this still because myvideogamelist looks way too tedious.
