I am getting use to the new format even though i dislike it however there are things i would like to discuss that dont make any sense at all. This new website looks like its suppose to be flashier and appeal to tablets and mobile devices, but it works against that. previously you had timestamps where i could see the date of the articles before clicking on them. now i actually have to go into the article to see if it is current. why was that feature removed? i used my phone throughout the day to see whats new, now its just like screw that im not going to bother because its disorganized.

Another unexplainable issue is why was the good and bad section moved to the bottom of the article? if you want to appeal to a wider market, its actually nice to have the pros and cons of the game listed first. it was like an executive summary. I got to know all the good and bad points about the game.

These i think really should be changed for your own benefit. it just makes more sense to have timestamps on articles for mobile devices and have an executive like summary for the reviews.

also those animations displayed for each game at the top of the page look cool, however its unnecessary. just another burden for the user to load the page. you may be trying to appeal to a larger market however something you just need to face the truth and realize that more than likely wont happen.gamers dont like this tile layout a lot of website are using. it like windows 8 and no one really enjoys using it. the site might look cool however it hinders what you are trying to do. we want review info and news displayed in an organized manner instead of a bunch of colorful distraction tiles that just overload the homepage that looks sloppy . you might be trying to appeal to casual gamers, but very few casual gamers look up reviews before purchasing; they just go out and buy the blockbuster game from word of mouth. so why even bother making a website for everyone? its like you have to know who your market is and accommodate to them. i all for changes, but dont just to be "hip" or "cool" by making a website based off of what other sites out there are doing. that is why i come to your site, i liked the way things were displayed and it was easy to use. that was your competitive advantage.
