There is not a single good component to this new format. Is it even beneficial to GameSpot in anyway other than being completely ludicrous? Is it perhaps cheaper, is that why it's so crappy?

A review that should be one page is stretched into two pages can be a bit inconvenient by the way. I say by the way because in addition to all the other problems the new layout presents, this is another one I stumbled upon while attempting to read a gamespot review of a video game. You will lose more people with this format, I suggest you change it back immediately. Your ratings have already dropped considerably.

Some of your statements are completely ludicrous and crappy. You have absolutely no idea the impact of any changes to the site layout has on its ratings. I still see one page and two page reviews, just the same as before the changes. The new unispace is supposed to make reviews and such easier to find through search engines, and to that end it does the job just fine. You've also mentioned "all the other problems the new layout presents" without detailing any of them; how can staff use your feedback if you're not going to go into detail?.

Pretty much this. You dislike the new layout which is fine but at least specify what your problems with it is.

Yeah, if you're gonna complain about the problems you have with reviews, you could at least list them. And I prefer reviews of a couple pages. One page with a lot of text can feel intimidating, IMO...
