The whole medal system is kind of meh to begin with, but I can't even read the descriptions of them because they are hidden by ads. Why does an ad for MLB: The Show cover up the descriptions, and not the other way around? Check out The Darkness's review for an example.Submit

I was going to post this in the "Gamespace changes live..." thread, but since it's already here I'll have to confirm that this is a big problem. It doesn't always do it, but it occurs enough to be very annoying. It does it in Firefox and IE7, so it doesn't appear to be some odd rendering bug of the engine.

I was just going to post in the other, but this one is convenient. Given that the previous ratings for Sound, Graphics, Gameplay etc. have been reduced to more descriptive icons, a fair amount of information is now being blocked by the advertising interstitial which covers up nearly all the decriptions.

I'd suggest either making it overlap the ad, or just to push the description drop box to pop above the icons rather than below it. I can't tell what the 'oh snap' or 'good start' icons mean at all, given their names lend no meaning like the others in The Darkness review.

Yeah, I just came here to post the same issue. I noticed it on The Darkness review as well with the MSN Video ad.

GameSpot, fix this.

Right there with you guys. Check out this blog GameSpot Advertistements Gone Wild. I posted a the image from the blog to the GameSpot technical support forum. You can view it here.

I'm sure it's temporary thing. Something that can easily fix. Just something that didn't expect with the new rating system.
