I prefer the new system, although the layout of it I'm not a fan of... but I can get over that. I've long thought decimal rating scales are way too convoluted and ultimately don't mean anything. I'm glad Gamespot is changing things up now, and moving away from a standard decimal setup. In my perfect world there'd be no need for a score rating at all, and the quick synopsis of the game's good and bad points along with the full review would suffice... unfortunately, it seems most people have grown too fond of attaching a score to a game's merit... oh well.

Ultimately, I prefer the new system to the old one.
