What the hell gamespot is think ?

Hey guys,

If you visit gamespot now (April 19th 2012) and click on PC section you will see these games in top 10 list

1. Shogun Total War 2

2. Tribes Ascend

3. Blacklight retribution

4. Legends of Grimrock

5. Gettysburg: Armoured Warfare

6. Naval War: Artic Circle

7. Ridge Racer Unbounded

8. Confrontation

9. Men of War: Condemned Heroes

10. Forge of Empires

Can somebody tell me how these games got finalized as top 10 games ? Apart from Shogun and Blacklight maybe ridge racer I don't see many good games here ? Can't they do their job without being biased ? or are they getting paid to show this junk.

Where are The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition, Skyrim, Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3 ?

I don't think this list should be called TOP 10 Games considering the fact that some of these games got Abysmal 3.0 or 2.0 scores by gamespot itself and some of them are not even rated lol.

Can somebody shed light on this ?

Top 10 means, most popular, most discussed games within the forums here. If anything, it is a nice spread of new releases that PC gamers might be keen on. I think that's very healthy than just having the 'big' games on there.

I'm pretty sure those lists are generated by the number of hits the pages for those games are getting lately. That's why whenever a new game is reviewed, even if it get scored terribly, it shows up on that list, if only for a day or two. The simpsons arcade game got re-relased a while back, gamespot gave it a terrible review, and it was like 2nd-4th on the overal top games list for almost a week.

Nice trolling, a bit too obvious tho

Ok thanks everyone I understand now but if I compare those games (maybe a wrong comparison) to Steam's top seller chart I see no name from gamespot's list. If they are the most discussed games then theoritically they should appear somewhere in Steam's top seller chart. I can see The Witcher 2 EE on top, Skyrim, Kingdoms of Amalur and even MW3. Grimrock is there so I think it's fine.

But still this list doesn't justify the "Top 10 Games" title IMO. And where is ME3 ? it is still the most discussed game and also a recent release.

Anyway I am trolling seriously. I just don't find this list correct in many ways. They should name the list as "Most Discussed Games" or something like that to make some sense.

@ionusX

The Witcher 2 EE is released now, infact my game launcher started downloading it yestarday night.

EDIT:

@kaealy

I don't understand why are you calling me troll ? I just asked for opinions on the list that I (myself) don't find correct in the "Top 10 Games" section. Can't you see the last line of my first post I asked for opinions. I mentioned TW2EE and Skyrim along with those FPSs and talking about those FPSs I only mentioned the most discussed and popular FPSs (Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3) even if MW3 is not good enough it is still a popular title you can't deny that. And Blacklight Retribution is causing some stir because it is free to play Dx11 title similar to upcoming Crytek's Warface.

I don't see how it fits me in a troll category when I am listening to others and respecting they're posts.

It's gamespot's top games. As in, most popular games... on gamespot. And its not hard to believe that that wouldn't necessarily be linked to a top-seller chart. Once again, I'll use the simpsons arcade game example. Reviewed terribly, one of the most discussed games on gamespot for a few days, and I'm sure it didn't have chart topping sales. The fact that gamespot reviewed it just reminded a lot of people that it existed (and probably alerted some who didn't know), and so for a little bit there was a lot of people talking about it, commenting on the review, and just visiting the page.

How is that broken? What are Gamespot ratings? Some people might say top 10 would be the most popular. Do you have a source from someone at Gamespot that it is broken? If you are going to make an argument, you have to give more info.

Who cares, really now?Silicel1

Who cares, really now?Silicel1

You are saying Modern warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 should be on top 10?
