Again, focusing on the presentation rather than the content, I'm extremely impressed with the integration of advertising on the page, using position:fixed to lock it in place while the content scrolls over it.

If we go with the assumption that advertising is a necessary evil, this isn't a bad direction in which to take it.

Well, it looks great on my desktop but really plain on my phone.

Are they using a specific presentation framework or is this a homegrown layout? I agree that the integration of advertising is nearly seamless and does not feel intrusive at all. In fact, when scrolling quickly, I thought the Madden 25 ad was part of the content.

What are you talking about? 100% of that page is an advertisement.

That claim seems pretty weak, especially without any support whatsoever.

Unless we all look at the page for ourselves??

Oh go jump. Polygon is awesome, and frankly take their journalistic stance far more seriously than any other game-review website.

Oh, sure. Except when they change review scores as it suits them and "editors" defend game publisher lies and berate users on twitter.

Um, they specifically state that review scores are liable to be changed, and in fact I think that it is much better that they do.

I guess we'll just have to have differing opinions here :)

Got it. Changing scores is good so your reviews are worthless and defending EA lies is also good. Polygon is just another game journo blog towing publisher lines.
