Tip of the Week
This week's tip is for those of you who have not tried out the game list feature in your GameSpot profile. Here is how it works.
1. Do a search for a game of your choice and click on the appropriate platform.
2. Click Add Game link found under the game title on the gamespace page. [example]
3. The pop-up will display four options as follows:
- Add to My Tracked List
Tracking List is a good option if you want updated about your favorite games or game series.
- Add to My Collection
My Collections list is a good way for you to track what you own and some people have used it for a list of what they have rented. Shh, don't tell anyone I said that. 
- Add to My Now Playing List
Some people forget about what they have listed as now playing. If you think you notice that you cannot stop thinking about a specific game, add it to your play list. You are bound to continue to play it off and on for the next month or so.
When it is time to edit your game list, drop by the Game Lists link in your profile. Some of the changes include sorting by platform, move to another category and delete game from your game list.
Until next week!
