Okay... seriously... let us click on top rated games, all games, etc, again when we scroll over Reviews at the top of the website. Let us simply and easily sort games by highest score, by genre, by system, etc, or any combination of the latter, just like the old layout.

Reading a review (if you can even find a review) is also annoying now... the background or something doesn't look good.

It's too hard to browse, navigate, read and find anything with this new layout.

When you scroll over Reviews at the top of the website... please... bring back the top rated games, all games, etc, that used to appear to click on. And let us sort the top rated games by genre and system, just like the old layout.

I don't get why you didn't do this in the first place. You seem to care more about big flashy boxes, rather than simplicity and ease of use.

Look at GameRankings website... that's how GameSpot should still look. It should be simple and easy to see things and find things.

How come when you click Reviews at the top of the website... you can't filter the search by genre? For example... just see the highest scored FPS's of all time for the 360? You used to be able to with the old layout.

GameSpot seems to becoming less like the old, simple-and-easy--to-browse-GameSpot, and more like any other video game website or magazine out there. I don't really like the idea of giving a game just a 7 or 8 or 9 and leaving it at that... because a lot of games pretty much are an 8.5... such games are really great and almost superb, etc, not just an 8. Just giving an 8 wouldn't accurately reflect that game and seems simple-minded, in my eyes, like the scoring system is geared towards newbies or dumb people or something.

This new GameSpot layout seems to have took away so many things that made the old GameSpot the best video game source out there.

If I could use the old website layout again, I would. It's much, much better.

Since the top rated games are gone or difficult to find now (among many other things now gone or difficult to find with this new layout), I think many people are going to be hanging around other websites and not GameSpot as much anymore.

It's too hard to navigate and browse this new layout. It shouldn't take you like 6-7 clicks (and much patience) to try to find a review for a game (if you even can find the game). In addition, the filter in the Games and Reviews section at the top of the website seems broken. Reviews for older games, like Halo for the original Xbox, are gone too.

GameSpot sucks now... honestly. It NEEDS the old layout back.

I think it may be all downhill for GameSpot from here. GameSpot was very simple and easy to see things, find things, navigate and browse around, like Game Rankings layout. Not anymore. Now it's hard to find anything really, it's hard to even find a review for a game really.

People won't stay on websites where it's hard to find things (and why would they?). I'm not sure where to go for reviews now, besides GameRankings. GameSpot seriously needs to go back to it's old layout... the old layout was very simple and easy to use, this isn't.

Even if I wanted to... I wouldn't know how to get to a review of a game with this new layout. It's certainly not obvious. The old layout needs to come back ASAP or many people are going to be scared away from GameSpot and just not come here anymore as a result.

The new design sucks... period. It's hard to navigate, hard to find things and even reading a review (if you can even find one) is annoying now. Several older reviews won't even show up now, they just give a GameSpot error page or redirect you.

The old design was very simple and easy to browse around, like GameRankings.

Anyone who likes this new design is probably a newbie or something... they probably just like the flashier looking boxes on the homepage and nothing more.

The new design is just too hard to navigate and find things. I honestly probably won't (or better, can't) use GameSpot anymore... not if they leave it as it is... again... it's too hard to navigate and find things...

Why can't you see all games, then sort them by score, genre, system, etc, anymore? I saw the filter on the games section and it doesn't seem to be bringing everything up. It won't even show games rated 10 for the 360!

I think GameSpot better fix the layout somehow (or go back to the old one) or they'll lose a lot of visitors. It's hard to see what you want and browse around the website. Also... videos not loading with AdBlock on just makes GameSpot look greedy, that will just make a lot of visitors angry.

GameSpot seems to have changed, in my eyes, and not for the better.
