Gamespy's Top Most Wanted PC Games

[War Mongrel]

I'm not sure if the list on their site is complete but thought I'd point out Planetside is ranked 13th compared to IGN's list where it was 39th.

Here's the link. They have it all set up in an odd way too as you might notice.

Rofl! Is it just me, or are they talking about PlanetSide in the wrong game description here?:

The first of two Tom Clancy games on our Most Wanted list, Raven Shield is the latest in the acclaimed counterterrorist series that started with Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear. Marking the return of Rainbow leader John Clark (a.k.a. "Rainbow Six"), Raven Shield looks to improve on its predecessor in a number of areas.

Planetside is set on the distant planet of Auraxis, which has been discovered and subsequently colonized by humans on the other side of a wormhole. When the wormhole suddenly collapses, stranding the colonists, tensions run high and the populace divides into three factions: the Terrans, the Vanu Sovereignty, and the New Conglomerate. Each empire has its own strengths and weaknesses, and you get to pick sides as they battle it out in a huge game of territorial control.

One of the biggest complaints lobbied at previous Rainbow games was that planning was too complicated. A simpler planning phase has been implemented for the game's 15 single-player missions, making for a faster-paced game. The AI should also be improved -- your teammates will provide better support, enemies will do more to work together, and even hostages will act with an appropriate level of erraticism. All the weapons of the previous games will be included, as well as some new ones (check our preview for a list). This time around, team members will be able to use any weapon, with varying levels of proficiency.

lol they just sort of switch from rainbow six to ps and then back again.

Gmaespy has a lot of stupid things like that. I wonder why people would pay for that kind of reporting?..hmmm. They also had PS's release as Dec 2003...Heh....I think they're trying to either ruin PS or get less people to pay for Gamespy. I think the latter. Well, they could just be idiots...Who knows...

[Ludio]

Maybe thats because Gamespy is free...youre thinking of Gamespot. And even that is mostly free.

[Sputty]

Gamespy is 'related' to fileplanet. Heh, also, Gamespot has almost nothing free anymore. Only the most basic things and certain news.

[Ludio]

Well most of the downloads/old stuff isnt free, which sucks, but at least they have good reviews/previews.

And Gamespy does control fileplanet...at least the main site is good...

[Sputty]

Ok, heh, I thought it was the other way around.Meh, I stnad corrected but I think pay sites are still annoying. They have adds too. Must be really annoying for those who pay to deal with the adds.

[Ludio]

I also think that pay sites are annoying, thats why I dont subscribe to any of them. You do have to get your daily dose of gaming news somewhere though.

Thats why I spend so much time on these forums, its like an addiction...must have more Planetside

[Sputty]

It's easy to get free game news. Gamesdomain and such are free and just as good in my opinion.

[Hamma]

Gamespy = devil

[Ludio]

Well its hard to argue with such a clear statement as that

[Sputty]

Yes, he's right though. PSU is better, and it's free with no ads. Although I'd understand if they needed to open some ad space up. Hamma needs to somehow pay for this site.

[chaos1428]

I vote they all suck (NOT PSU, of course)
Gamespy, Gamespot, Fileplanet. We could live without them all

[Camping Carl]

Fileplanet sucks. They say there are more people on dowload servers than there actually are, so people will get fed up with waiting and sign up for personal servers. Then you randomly lose your spot in line when waiting for a download...
