The new flesh (aka reviews) will start this evening, with the first review with the new sized pics.

*EDIT

The Boogie DS review that just went up will give you a better idea.  Pictures for other systems will be around 455 in width, so bigger than those in this review.

Much better than the last one, IMHO - I never really got along with the last one, trying to find older reviews for earlier 360 had been driving me nuts over the last few months (I couldn't find a thing!)

Like the Meermans said, less is more  :ph34r:  :wacko:

raith, make sure that the screenshots arent bigger than 400 pixels in width (not the 455 u stated) when you start to put them up - this is because of hidden padding and borders and what not. 455 wont fit lol

It feels like the background has failed to load properly. I appreciate that its a 'cleaner' look but personally I liked the old layout more. New logo is very cool though.

And move the Forum link off the bottom.

Have you thought of putting any kind of 301 redirect in place? This change is going to kick the shit out of all the positive SEO the sites done in the past. for example, www.gamestyle.net/ps2 brings up a 404. Whats the dealio with this kind of stuff and the new site?

You say that, but they were meant to be 300-and-something pixels wide. But then you said 400.

We settled at 375.

I'm sure we could just upload 400 and you scale in CSS to 375 or lower. Futureproof, and all that - besides, Safari, Opera, Firefox and IE7 all support the 'width' attrib on images in CSS. ;)

About 2 weeks ago. But despite that, it isn't quite out yet. Even from a non-promotional point of view it has some very cool stuff in it this time, it's just taking a while to put it all together. I'll drop by and start a thread about it when it does appear, I'm sure. Should be pretty damn soon.

I like it. Clean, simple and clear. Less is more.
Agreed. Just had a look at it (haven't looked at the front page for quite a while!). Very clean & easy to read + thank god for the bigger (but still could be bigger - like when you click on it) screenshots! Although I'm not too fond of that Gamestyle header font. I can understand its trying to be classy but it doesn't carry too well
