Looks good... although I never use GS aside from occasionally seeing a review on MetaCritic

 looks like they tried to put their entire site's content on one page

This beta was around before.... but GiantBomb members seem to have such a hate for GS that they'll twist it around... they're just doing a redesign FFS, and it doesn't look all too different at all.

As I've stated in the roughly 1,000 other threads like this, I don't spend much time over at Gamespot anymore, but I do like the new design. The current design is kind of bloated; the new design smoothes things out quite nicely.

Looks like the folks at GameSpot took a look at Gaint Bomb. The site looks very familiar to GB now.

Looks a lot like GB actually.  Especially the profile page.

Gamespot is a POS.

I can't stand Aaron Thomas, and Kevin VanOrd isn't a great reviewer.

You have selected: Gamespot.

May I recommend:
Joystiq
1UP
Kotaku
or
Giant Bomb?

The beta GameSpot looks pretty good, even though there isn't a huge difference in design.

Meh. It's all right. I don't see myself going there any more than I already do, which isn't much.

This site feels like it fills a different niche. It's much more networking-focused and community content-driven, so when I'm looking for a place to share my blog, chat and so forth, this site offers that. For news, other sites (and I don't mean Gamespot, as I haven't gone there for news in years) seem like they're better. And for actual gameplay tips and so forth, I think Giantbomb has a little ways to go in figuring out how to properly integrate that stuff in a manner that doesn't bog down the articles. But it'll happen. This site is still in its infancy. I think it has a lot of potential, and I don't think it's focus is on being a direct competitor with Gamespot so much as filling a different role in a better way than GS (and many other big gaming news sites) can.

I like the new look. And all you guys saying its copying Giant Bomb, I honestly don't see where you're coming from. Besides, this beta has been out longer than GB.

Oh fuck not this Bullshit again.
It's obviously not a rip off, they had this design a few days after Giant Bomb came out.
They didn't just completely redesign their site based on Giant Bomb which had came out a few days later.

It has? I thought it just launched recently, within the last couple of days.

I don't see what you guys are talking about. It doesn't look like Giantbomb that much to me.

Heh, looks ok. Doesn't change anything though, the magic of GS vanished with Jeff and those who left after his firing. Giantbomb rocks GS!
