I was trying to put my collections on IGN's list, but I have a problem. I had way too many games to do any sort of individual or small group sorts, I need one huge list per system. The problem is it cuts off at 500. It doesn't even go alphabetically till it reaches 500, it just randomly omites games throughout the alphabet. It won't let me search by letter (ie. a list, b list, c list etc.) It tried not showing unrated games (hoping to cut out the japanese releases), but it seems that they don't have the ratings for many of the rated games (meaning games I have aren't showing up). I tried splitting it up into release dates, but games like battle arena toshinden and beyond the beyond for ps1 don't come up when I do this (even though they were released well within the time frame I input). I really need a way to get the complete list up on my screen, or to at least get rid of all the japanese games listed so I'm left only doing a few individual searches.

I didn't even know you could sort the IGN list. I've had mine up for three years and basically thought it was just one long list you couldn't do anything at all with. Especially what you're describing.
I've found gamespot.com's collection list much easier to do the things you're looking to do. I just did mine a few weeks ago, it took me a few hours to do my 300+ games but you can do much more with their collection/wishlist/playing/watching function than you can with IGN's.
BTW, I'm not exactly even sure what it is you're trying to accomplish....

I just want a list of my games on the pc, that's all. It's also useful cause sometimes games get misplaced and I forget or are unsure if I had them, with a list I'll know if they're lost or I never owned them. Though I'll try gamespot.

I agree, go with gamespot's listing, it's easier to sort though and has much better features.

ok, gamespot is only showing a list of 200. Is there any way to make it show a larger list of results?
