Okay here's my opinion on all this.

News - I always see news first because VG Chartz is the first website I go to when I come on the computer, but the front page doesn't often give all the news I want to see, in order to do that I have to hit the forums, but the thing is if you tried to get all the news in the front page and if it was something I may be interested in could be easily missed because there's always so much news. I usually go to other websites later on to check all the news.

Sales Articles - This is a very good feature to VG Chartz (which I can thank TheSource for), sinse obvously I'm interested in game sales I really like to read these articles, I like comparing game sales and seeing things that I didn't notice before. But sometimes TheSource sounds a little bias to Nintendo, I'm sure he's not doing it on purpose but I get that vibe off some of his articles some times. Also it'd be nice if instead of just having the Japan Preview, we can do America and Others preview as well.

Weekly Sales Chart - The thing I noticed about VGC 2.0 is that I don't seem to pay attention to the numbers as much as I use to for some reason? I often get confused whether I checked the latest weekly numbers or not, and I never had that problem with old VG Chartz. Maybe because the old chart use to take up a big part of the site so the first thing you saw was basically the numbers, and it was so simple to read because the Japan/Others/America number were all in the front page as well, it's a pretty cool feature how it is now where you can hover over PS3/Wii/X360 and it says everything, but people are lazy and they want things more simple.

Game Database - The game database is one of the best video game databases out there, it's obviously not 100% complete but has basically all the games anyone wants to see. And sinse this is a sales website it has numbers for most of the games as well which is really something I enjoy.

Game Review  - There very well done, I enjoy them, but like I said in the past if more of the scoring system was showed it would be better. Again this is the interenet, all people really want to see are the numbers, basically what IGN has is what I consider perfect, they got there big summary then at the end they have there scoring system split up and each one has a number and then summary of what they think of it, it wouldn't surprise me if 90% of the people that look at there reviews just skip to the end to see what they wrote for each section and what score they put.

Forum - The forum is easily one of the best features of VG Chartz, it has all kinds of different people out there and they make some really wacky or well written thread lol, I have no problem with the forum.

The main problem I have with VGC 2.0 (don't get me wrong it looks much more proffesional now) is it's not as simple as the old VG Chartz was, like I said before I don't like how you can't hover over the top links and just chose what you want instead of going the long way around and having to click the link first then click where you want to go, it's kind of annoying and I'm sure people with dial-up would not injoy this very much. It seems like old VG Chartz was quick and simple, I got what I wanted fast, and isn't that what people what on the internet, they want everything now and right away.

Also I agree that some things seem out of focus, there is quite a bit of stuff and I often find myself moving closer to the screen to see what is written.
