I'm a fan of this beta layout (beta.gamespot.com). It's not perfect, and I'm personally not sure about how much I like the left sidebar for navigating between different things. But aesthetically I'm digging the cleaner look. I'm a fan of the understated sty|e (i.e. completely plain) of the title bars for each section, though I think they could be smaller and still be as bold and effective as they are. I'm also happy that the site is finally moving to a wider template. The feed on the right is nothing original but definitely lends a more stalker, Facebook feel, one which many people seem to be raving (both positively and negatively) about these days. What I like most is how the blogs are condensed and collapsed so that you're required to hit a jump. It may seem counter-intuitive to require users to click an extra time to get to the content, but I like how it avoids creating an overly long (vertical-wise) chain of text that scrolls down for ages.

Just a warning: It's in beta, and thus it's performing a little slowly, so don't expect completely zippy browsing.
