They tend to get reviewed in massive bunches and screw up the flow.

Then how would people find the latest reviews for those platforms?

Yeah, it wouldn't really be fair to people who game on those platforms.

They are sort of different, from what I've read they're submitted by other sites and not written by Gamespot. Still, they're officially designated reviews.

They could browse through the review index like anyone who wants reviews for older systems, or go to the dedicated page here for mobile content (it's kind of hidden right? two full size tabs right next to DS at the top of the site). They're outside reviews for platforms not intended primarily for gaming - they shouldn't be overloading the main review feed. I don't think anyone here likes the idea of checking to see if there have been any new reviews and not being able to tell because the feed is all mobile apps.

Doesn't bother me. You could always set up an RSS feed for the reviews page so you don't miss anything. I'd rather not have to go through several clicks to see if there are any new mobile reviews.

By "a few" do you mean one?

I'm not sure who you're referring to since I didn't say "a few" but it would take several clicks to find the latest mobile reviews. Conversely, it would take one click to expand the latest reviews if you feel like mobile reviews have been pushing off what you consider "real" reviews.

a few, several, whatever the bottom line is the small minority of users here interested in mobile reviews can easily access them, the meat of the site shouldn't be pushed aside to make way for outside content related to applications only a handful of users are interested in

How do you know the number of users interested in those reviews?
