This is what I've used since IGN's become unusable.

I just use xbox.com to keep track of my games.

So I just tried out PlayFire and it was nice at first, but after I linked my Xbox Live gamertag with the website, it was tracking all of the games I played. That's nice and everything but it keeps track of EVERY game. Even if you don't have it anymore. And there's no way to delete the game since it's automatically tracked.

I couldn't find anything I liked after IGN screwed up the lists feature so I finally broke down and exported my list there and imported it into an Excel spreadsheet and have been adding all my new purchases (and the ones IGN didn't have in their database) to that. Much more flexible and not subject to websites being changed. With the addtion of Radiant Historia today, I'm currently at 1690 rows in the spreadsheet and I can filter on platfrom, genre, etc.

Same. The "Export to Excel" option that IGN now has is their new system's only good feature, so you can save your list and maybe do something with it other than the utter disaster that is their current system.

On that note though, I just found that a bunch of games I'd added in the old list ... didn't make it ... to the new one. So I've been going back through the old list (you can still access them if you remember the URL), and comparing that to the Excel file, and filling in the ones that are in the old list but aren't in the new one (Excel file). Blah!

I did add them in IGN too just in case they ever actually put in a functioning system again, but yeah, that Excel version sure is better... not better than the old version IGN used to have, but better than the terrible new one.

What I love about Playfire is that it's more than just tracking. It's like a social network for games. Login to see what games your friends are playing on PS3, 360, or Steam. See what achievements they have, and how close they are to 100%. It's just a nice streamlined all-in-one, go-to source for checking up on your gaming community.

Sorry to bump this, but has anyone else been getting a bunch of Playfire emails recently? I've gotten a "Your weekly summary!" email four times today.

I've given up on PlayFire. I would highly recommend Giant Bomb. It's what I use now and it's fully customizable. I like it a lot.

I've also given up on PlayFire since their big site redesign focused mainly on achievements. Backloggery.com is still the best option out there.

Edit: I only got one weekly summary email today.
