Site Navigation Changes

The biggest change is the new three-item content promotion unit that appears on all story pages. These items showcase the biggest stories on GameSpot and will generally mirror what's at the top of the GameSpot homepage. The idea is that this will make it easier for users busy reading reviews, previews, news, or game guides to see the latest major updates right when they hit the site.

This is latest of a number of site enhancements we're rolling out this month. We're eager to hear your feedback, so please post comments below.

I don't like how everything is bolded, but it is nice that there aren't as many consoles on the list. Where can you go to find the pages for the other consoles that were removed?

First time I saw that I just thought my comp had spazzed, but it looks kinda cool. One thing though, you can't open a new window from the menus now. When I'm surfing a page butI wanna check out something elseon the site, it was really useful to be able to open the link into a new window, rather than start up IE again.

The bold might take some getting use to... :P

It looked all black and trendy for a second. Was that a glitch, or will that eventually be implemented?

EDIT: I see that the black trendy look only kicks in on news pages (or my internet browser is glitching) - why not make that sitewide? And also, are the Xbox and GC tabs gone for good now?

Great update, but you forgot to put XBLA, Playstaiton Network, and Virtual Console channels! :evil:

The new look only appears when I enter the site. When I switch to another page it gets back to normal.

I like it a lot :)

That's weird. It looks different on IE/Safari and Firefox.

On IE and Safari, it looks just like it did before, except with the new tabs.

However, on Firefox, the old black bar where the consoles are is not there. Weird.

I like it on Firefox better.

I think all of the console tabs should be removed and replaced with a single tab called consoles and when you click that all of the consoles are listed that wouid be alot better I think.cryptosopoidium

Dont you think it would look to empty?

Aww Gamespot! You changed it on Firefox too!

Now it looks just like it did before! :evil:

The all-white tab was better!

It's too crowded now.

that 3 unit promo thingy doesnt work on Firefox too well. its making my eyes bleed a bit. a nice update overall.

It looks the same for me in IE and Firefox...

You should leave the Gamecube tab for at least till the end of the year.tequilero

Considering that there are virtually no future Gamecube games, and that the tab hasn't been updated since Leo Star Wars 2 came out (and then the only other recent update was TP's release), I'd say that it's time to let the tab go.

It looks quite ugly now. The all-white tab was very clean and Apple-like. Can you guys make it like a theme?

Where you can choose the style, kinda like you guys have for the background color!

I know, Gamespot changed it.

It looked really cool before on Firefox. Now it just looks like the old tab from yesterday.

This is how it looked on Firefox a couple of minutes ago:

That way was better.

I think it should be on all pages.
It looks nicer.DJ-PRIME90

I Agree make it on all the GS pages!

ummm.. on IE 7, it looks all beautiful

but on Firefox - i get some ugly stuff

i read that some people with Firefox don't have it - how can i fix that?

Maybe try clearing your cache or something like that - I don't know how to do it, but I've heard it works for other people.

You can go HERE. Another way is to click the system links in the footer!

Sorry for double-posting but why list "cheat codes" two times. Replace the "cheat codes" button with a "unions" button considering there already is a cheat codes link underneath the consoles buttons.Nxss-effa-sim

good idea it would be good to have Unions tab

maa4208, go to home page - press on any preview and you will see the difference

Is there any way to change the tabs to this color, Gamespot? It looked cooler!

A Unions tab would be nice, but there is a big need for GameSpot endorsed unions to get features where their news articles and links to the union get displayed on GameSpot. Right now being endorsed is almost pointless. It will also encourage other unions to set higher standards and improve their articles so they can become endorsed

I actually really like it and think it would be even better if it was shown all across the whole website rather than just the stories. I think it'll look really nice.

Thanks for telling me Davidhye.
