I don't like the grey background too... Too unconfortable to read.
There are new pretty cool things, as the chartz presentation, but the gamespot color scheme hurts my eyes (in fact, I don't read gamespot because of this). I prefer reading black over light colors. If it's only a CSS adjustment it should be pretty easy to select between 2 or 3 different color schemes.
Anyway, I hope the power ungriness of the site descends over time...
