Is it a joke? I hope that gamespot will post a message like: don't panic everybody, it was just a bad joke and we are sorry about that!

If they don't do that the best video game site will become a poor and useless game site like many others on the web. But I think they will go back since all the user's comments about this supposed new and upgraded system are the same:we don't like it!!!

The best thing in the former gamespot rating system is gone, I mean the gameplay, graphics, sound, value and tilt scores. More than that the reviews are now shorter.

Please, if you agree with me stand up and write your opinion!

The only thing I like about the new system is the emblems. I think the new 5 point increments is just another way to half-*** something but I also don't have to read their reviews either so I guess I will stick with metacritic.

I think the badges are fantastic. You can understand where the review is going in about 10 seconds, and it gives you a great idea about the little quirks the reviewer found while playing. I cant see a downside to be honest

Ilove the emblems, butI dont think the .5 increments were really necessary. Good thing for MetaCritic and GameRankings.

I don't like the .5 increments but I do like the badges system. I don't want them to go back to graphics, sound etc becausce that does'nt work for most games Jeff talked about this ages ago mabye if they just chose a number from the .1 system and kept the badges that would be better
