    My idea is a necessary one (i believe), i am referring to this page of a gamespace:

    I believe that instead of just having the Latest Player Reviews, it should be split into 2 tabs. I didnt have time to graphically represent this but it should be too hard to visualize. When there are two tabs, the Latest Player Reviews would be first and a Most Recommended Player Reviews would be next to it. Where the most recommended player reviews would be displayed.

    I believe its necessary because as a consumer who wants to buy a game might find it difficult to find a good review (besides GameSpot's) for a certain game, this would make it easier.

    Again serbsta, you read my mind. GameSpot really needs to promote user reviews more, and this would be right on the money.

    You may be on to something, but maybe the user with the top 100 or 500 emblems be displayed instead.

    I tend to ignore user reviews for several reasons, but one of them is that there's just too much crap to cut through.

    Exactly, thats why we should have a tab for the most recommended or the 'not-crap' reviews. I think this is something which should be added as soon as possible.

    Due to a recent thread someone made i wanted to bring this back up so it can get some more attention. Player reviewers who write quality reviews and take time to write reviews whether they are good or not should be recognised more.

    Great idea, though, the tab should show the most recommended of the week/month or else the best one will not motivate others to write a review since the nest is shown all the time.

    I support this, wading through user reviews to find the couple decent ones is a pain in the butt.

    I don't think that would be fair. There are many people who have written good reviews that don't have these emblems. But you could have this in another tab.
