I am sorry for numerous posts in this topic. I should have waited to post the last message.

My issue is with the Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, PSP, Nintendo DS, PC, Mac and PS2. It just looks like it could be centered with the article section. If it doesn't look right try shrinking the search bar a bit and then see if it looks right.

Yea, I know how it is. You guys are extremely ethical compared to my webmaster days. But cut me some slack... I was like 12 and trying to take advantage of pay-per-click ads... and actually did.

I understand you gotta do what you gotta do but if you ask for my opinion, I'll shoot strait and tell you what I think. =).

I will say I do enjoy both of your websites (I look at them multiple times daily) and I must say that they do work. And thats all that really needs to happen. Websites just need to work, nothing more really. I do think that on that the RSS feed and console list(top menu) would be better if you increased the font size. This would help center the link-text as well as bring more emphasis to it. Might even just be able to make it bold.... experiment with it... Although... I if I was GP webmaster I would hook up IGDA with small portion of free ad-space just to support them.

Next step: shiny new journalistic integrity to match.

Ha ha, only kidding. Everyone knows the best way to gain readers is to be full of shit.

If your going for cluttered then good job.

Central portion, where the story is located is fine, it looks great but the two side bars are so cluttered it just prevents me from even trying to figure out what is located there. That and Advertisements are take up so much of the space it seems like they are more important than the actual text and links on the side. I have the same issue with this website/blog. The advertisements dominate the menu bar. So instead of seeing that awesome collection of links that you have I see advertisements that I try to ignore and end up just annoying me. I'd move the collection of links to just below the ECA ad, move the game news ticker and twitter down below the links. Its a good collection of links. Id try to bring more attention to it somehow and I moving it up would allow more folks to notice it just a little bit better.

On the top menu... I think its alright, Id try to bring more emphasis to the [RSS | Categories] links and also the Xbox360, Wii, PS3, PSP, Nintendo DS, PC, Mac and PS2 links since thats what I am more likely to care about. If you wish to expand on the top menu's image links I would recommend making it scroll through them kind of like IGN's webpage does with their recent articles and such. Keep it the size you have now though, I wouldn't make it dominate the page like they do.

Overall I think the design is good. The side bars really annoy me, hopefully it doesn't have anything useful in them because I don't want to explore them. Which I guess effectively keeps me focused on the articles and the top menu.

"the market itself on the retail side of things will make sure that AO games are limited to grow up already….."

It would look better if the column of ads was actually on the side where it belongs, instead of directly above the article text.
