When I go to a game's main Gamespot page i want to see information about the game including a description, screenshots, maybe Gamespot's reviews or possibly links to the reviews. Not 10+ links to articles that are usually just a video of multiple titles that may include only a mention of the game in question.

Even when searching for a game on Gamespot now all I get is a mess of tile links with no information like date of release, platform, etc. It's just rows of names with a picture and no way to differentiate which one I was actually searching for. Is this just some scheme to get more game's pages clicked on and viewed instead of making it easy to find a certain one right off the bat?

@elessarGObonzo: On the game's main page, most of the relevant data is there in the header. You can click on the review score to read the review, or "Images" to see screenshots. More detailed information can be found lower in the right column.

As for the search, are you referring to our main search results page? it does show release date, although admittedly not the release platforms, but we could add that.

No, search results do not show that information as you posted. Here is my return for "The Elder Scrolls" :

No information included whatsoever, like I stated previously.

And when selecting one of these items; the game's main page only shows very basic information. Almost the entire page is filled with links to articles/videos that may or may not pertain directly to the game, also as I previously stated.
