New layout & screenshots back
We've made some changes to the site.
Firstly, nearly all reviews and previews should have screenshots again. The large versions now load onto a new page. They're not linked directly to anymore like they used to be. We've also made some usability improvements. The screenshot galleries are now more easily accessible, as are the "game info" pages and the explanation of our score system. Most noticably, previews and reviews now have a content bar and an information bar. (We realize this leaves some white space on some pages, but this area will be taken by a new feature later.) I hope you like it. |

It looks good, but I don't know what you mean with content bar and information bar.

Just the fact that (p)reviews now have a two-column layout.

Ok, it does look good. Much better than before I think.

Yeah, I like having the pros, cons, etc. on the side like that.

You know, Marek, it is not that hard to make a script that would cycle through screenshots... it really isn't....

Nice!
I'm glad the screenshots are back. And the way you got the previews page, makes it looks like there's more writing because the paragraphs are "longer" I like it |

The return of screenshots is a given improvement, but I have to say that I REALLY like the new two-column layout, particularly in the reviews. It somehow adds a very professional look, and it's very clean.

The page now pulls 6 random screenshots from the gallery, instead of the first 6.

They only change when you return to the article sometime later.
