VGC is less and less cool by the years : the new vertion of the site with less data and graphics, and now less free data transfered to VGC Pro...
Honestly, the top 20 is enough for me. Still, the site is getting more unattractive by the day.
hm, no numbers, no visit. this site just went off my bookmarks list
damn killzone 3 is failing but i don't know if i can trust these preorders
If I can't see all the numbers I don't know why I should come back to this site.
@ LOL agree. I hate VG pro so much.
well hopefully someone will create some new site that will post all the pro numbers lol.
