Here's to hoping this proves useful in the future. Looks like System Shock 2 and Planescape: Torment are neck and neck for the time being.

Kresjah: 1) Sorting options; like "last added", "name", "votes".

Category-based sorting (RTS, FPS, etc.) would also be good. Possibly small infocards that pop up when you click on a game's name where people can add screenshots, box shots, a short blurb, ratings and also show the number of votes?
Went back into the list and this time got 15 pages not 2 like the first time!
Must admit, would like a better search option, and agree a Top 20, or just listing them all by number of votes, so you can see in the first few pages the top 50 or more, if you want. Also, you would see titles that are coming up and staying still.
Laslty, it's such a shamer that somany titles in the list are licensed titles that stand little chance of getting on GOG, or anywhere else.
I'm loving how I can add a game watch it shoot up 20+ votes in under an hour. That shows we are mostly on the same page.

UruramTururam: Edit: Also making the top list longer (20 entries instead of 10) won't hurt much I guess.

Seconded. It would be even better to watch as much entries as we want (a big "top list").
This new feature is awesome, it's great tool to persuade publishers to put their old games on GOG.
Bad thing is I can't add one of my favorite RTS games, it's called by one simple letter: "Z" and one letter games seem not to be supported.
If you don't know this game, you should know you have missed much :) Hell, this game was developed by mighty BITMAP BROTHERS!!!

Thank you for this amazing addition. It probably won't come to much but is most certainly welcome.
Which almost puts me off saying anything, but what will be done as far as moderation?
Already I have seen Grand Theft Auto, and Ground Control, both of which (among others) are available for free.
Removing them completely from the list would just mean that they are posted again later. So maybe games that are either available for free, or have no chance of coming to GOG should have a special entry, that shows up when it searches for already posted games?

I don't think it's a bad thing to have games that are free on there. It shows us that people want those games anyway :)
Oh thank God. My Wish List Votes thread was starting to become a real time sink.
Great feature, Gog.com!!!
I think that it would be a good thing if the search engine would read the "already in store" games in addition to the wanted games. I've already seen Descent and Redneck Rampage in the whishlist. :)

Vandal: (...) it's not really practical for people to be browsing the list just to see which ones they want to vote for.

UruramTururam: Sometimes just browsing a list helps recalling old (and missing) games.

Exactly. I felt in a less lazy mood today, so I actually did go through the entire list at the time I looked at it (probably gotten several new pages of games since then), and I found a whole bunch of games I had forgotten and I recalled only after reading their names.
Fantastic feature, GOG!
I'll be even more excited when I start seeing those top 10 show up for download here ;)
By the way, I thought for sure I'd be the one adding 'Microsoft Space Simulator' -- you fellow GOGers are awesome!

Ooops! It needs some anti-multiple-post protection against people with bad internet connection - like me.
Sorry for that!

I'm guessing you posted Arx Fatalis?
Right.... Sorry again!

fix-cz: Right.... Sorry again!

Haha, I was thinking: "Man, this guy really loves Arx Fatalis!"
