  1. Please Stop Putting Spoilers to Games and Movies IN THE TITLES OF YOUR ARTICLES

    I do not play all games within the first 2 weeks of their release, and so, I would appreciate it if you did not title so many of your articles with spoilers IN the article.

    "THIS CHARACTER IS DEAD!!!"

    Is common in so many of your articles. Is it too much to ask to instead say, "New Info on XXXXXXXX DLC"

    Here are three games/movies spoiled in some way or another by your editorial team:

    Batman: Arkham City
    Mass Effect series
    Prometheus

    Obviously the list continues and if I can update this, I will.

      • Upcoming Games

        It would be realy cool if you could see a small list of some upcoming games on a side bar, Like - AC3, Back ops 2 so on, depending on the current date

        • Region News!

          It's not really the slider, but the whole front page, but anyway.

          You should make a section in the front page for Japanese news and Western Hemisphere news. I'm talking about developers, release dates, screens...so everything isn't all jumbled up!

          • Stop the interstitial ads

            We, the users and fans of IGN, HATE interstitial ads. We don't mind banners, or even the video ad here and there ahead of a clip. What drives us bonkers is when we type in "www.ign.com" and all we see is a full-page ad that we quickly skip, or use Chrome to block. Be respectful of your users- we know ads are important, but don't want them "blocking" the content. We also hate ads that expand and cover the page we're viewing. We're aware of the games and products that you have on the page. Other than that,…

            • I don't enjoy your new video player.

              I'm not a huge fan of the video player. Every time I click to full screen the display gets all pixelated and turns green. This has been the exception of every video I've watched on the site for the few months since you've changed the videos.

              • New layout SUCKS!

                Could not find movies on DVD's review section so I'm going to a different website. I used to use IGN.com for many different reasons but now I'm am looking for a new website unless this one changes.

                • I'd like a lights off switch for the website if there isn't one.

                  A lights off and on switch for the entire website would be a nice add on, sometimes my eyes hurt reading articles over these bright white pages , please consider it.

                  • Where's the navigation bar?

                    The layout isn't terrible (I guess), but the lack of a navigation bar? Terrible. It doesn't seem that different other than the slider, in which the text is hard to read against the graphics at times, but the lack of a navigation area to get to other channels makes things diffucult.

                    • Front Page Story 'categories'

                      When looking at "Top Stories" (or "all updates") on front page, the old format used to tell you not only how long ago the story was posted (good and helpful), but what section of IGN it falls under (PS3, 360, Wii, Movies, TV... etc).
                      The elimination of this info is a step backwards. I see an article titled "Dark Shadows Review." Is is a comic (not interested), TV (still no thanks), Movie (maybe I'll read the review)???

                      The simple identifier of the category was very helpful in knowing what the article is about.

                        • Can't find the DVD, Blu-ray, Comic, TV and Movies buttons.

                          If I can't find dvd, game, comic or blu-ray reviews in a straightforward manner then the change is not worth it.

                              its really hard to get the bar at the bottom of the video player in fulscreen. it would be better if you made it like youtube where it disappears when you leave the mouse alone.

                              • I can't find reviews!

                                With each change to the website, I seem to be having an increasingly harder time finding the reviews here - the main reason why I visit IGN in the first place. If you're going to phase out actual reviews, that's fine - but first you removed the ability to actually find / sort them easily, and now I can't even find a link. What gives, guys?
