A fresh new GameHouse.com
Ooh I like this new look! Looks smarter and more up-to-date. I love the tabs (much easier), and the little links dotted around the place, like 'Explore our Top 100 games' and so on, very handy, pulls me in to a bit of game-browsing, which is always fun! ;o) I'm already familiar with the new design home-page as I've had it for a while, so I know I like it already!
Only one criticism so far - the new fonts are TEENY TINY, a bit too small to be comfortable even for me, and my eye-sight is just fine!
Still checking out most of the new site so I'm sure there are more surprises waiting...very excited to have it finally though after all this anticipation! Well done to everyone at GH and thanks for the time and effort you've put into it!

Fresh look, always welcome!! But I cannot get the REVIEWS to work. I like to see what others have to say and all I can pull up is the 'Write a Review' button. I am on a Mac OX 10.6.

I like the nice big pictures of the games on the front page. I don't like that a big box comes up when my mouse is hovering over that area. It covers up the other games. I think the bubble should be limited to maybe just the bottom part on the game picture. Still easy to get to the bubble but not as likely to have the bubbles popping up just because the mouse happens to be on the screen.
I don't like the new logo. The H reminds me of a cross which reminds of religion which I object to. And even if it weren't for that, I think it's kind of ugly, all blocky, but I'll get used to it I'm sure.
Well, I'll have fun surfing around finding things I probably missed before because these old eyes just aren't what they used to be.
Congratulations for getting the new look going. I know it's been a long time in the making.

I have figured out how to facebook. If you want people to Twitter you, you should have a place on this site to explain how to do that (and also facebook for the people who haven't signed up yet). I can't say I'm all too good at facebook yet, trying to figure out how to delete photos and stuff, but Twitter looks so confusing that I haven't tried it. Nor have I figured out what's the use of it. They're right up there at the top of the page, so it would be nice to have instructions. Thank you!

Hi everyone,
We're very glad to see discussion about our new site design and we're reviewing all of your feedback. Please keep it coming!
To 'crux101' -- The reviews should be visible (presuming that the games in question already have reviews posted) by simply clicking on the Reviews tab, which is the middle tab of three (Game Details, Reviews, Forums) on each game's product page. Knowing the type of computer you're using and the OS version helps us a lot and we'll try reproducing your experience on a Mac in the office tomorrow. Can you also tell us the titles of the games for which you were trying to read reviews? We'll be sure and follow up here and with you directly.
Thanks to Suki and to yusef for your comments, especially about the font size and about Facebook and Twitter, respectively.
Again...please continue to offer your feedback on the new site design. It means a lot to us and it helps us make GameHouse.com even better.
Best regards,
Bill

Suki, you can adjust the size in your browser. I usually use Chrome, and it's a little wrench in the upper right hand corner. I just checked what it is in IE, and it's a little cog wheel type thing, also in the upper right. Just click there, and look for zoom. I have mine set at 144%.

I Love new site, thought I was on wrong game site yesterday afternoon, because it so unique. iI enjoy having everyting right at hand. what would be nice is to have more video preview of games. Very nice and easy to navigate, thank you!
Posted on Thu May 12 03:05:22 PDT 2011
The new website is ok. Had some difficulty with the old one so hopefully this will be better. And, HOPEFULLY, I won't get any more viruses downloaded with the games. Didn't get a real reply from two emails to tech support. Pretty much dodge the question. So much for 100% virus free games.
Posted on Thu May 12 04:51:47 PDT 2011
the new look is terrible. the images are compressed. the writing is illegible.
used to like to wander through the site. now just want to download the daily game and get out.

I really like the new site! i don't see any resemblance to a cross in your H. The only thing missing is today's game release and a game manager =D

love the new design. Before I would need to go to 'search' to find out what type of game it was.
Now I can view if it is puzzle, match 3, etc. without leaving the site.

I think the new look is good. I have to thank yusef for the zoom suggestion.On mine you go to page on the top right of screen go to zoom and I set mine at 125.It was at 100.Really helped me to see the print much easier.And I have never gotten a virus warning with any download,but I have webroot and I turn gamer mode on. Good work GH

I like the new look but when I clicked on a game to view it I only got a blank screen. This happened three times so it wasn't something I did wrong.

Thanks so much for alerting us to your experience. I saw this myself with some Mac games (are you by chance on a Mac?) and our Technical Team is on it!
I'll keep you all updated here as to progress.

Where is the Free game of the Day? I like game house a lot better than bigfish. I actually migrated over to game house a few years ago.
ACTUALLY I JUST FOUND IT. IT IS NOW ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN. THANKS.

i HATE the new format!... i have trouble finding anything anymore! also can there be some solitaire games like cruise solitaire , fairway solitaire put into the unlimited game rotation??????????? mostly i see hidden object (which i like) match three ( i like also) and time management (which i hate) theres a few others that pop up like adventured games ( but i dont like those either)... I know ALOT of people who would join if there were more tri-peak (non traditional solitaire) in the rotation of the un'limited games trial.. and they HAVE money to also buy games!... PLease consider this!!!!!!!!!!!!
aqs far as the new format... i guess i will just have to get used to it.... maybe i just dont like change... i dont kn ow... but i will say it looks cleaner. and i like the new logo...

UPDATE: Our Technical Team has advised that the Mac game pages have been restored. Blank pages are no longer being displayed for Mac game titles; the Mac games' product detail pages are up and running.
We still have an issue with Reviews not appearing on Mac game pages and our Technical Team continues working on that. In the mean time reviews are displayed on the PC versions of the games.
We appreciate receiving the feedback about our new site. Keep your comments coming!

I like the new look. And I really like the new SPEED--it used to take forever to go from one tab to another. However, I couldn't find the free game of the day yesterday and called about it. He said it was on the right, instead of the left. Still couldn't find it. Went back and forth through some tabs and then, all of a sudden, there was the game of the day! Some changes are good Some cause confusion in people like me!

I am not a fan of the new format. How do you separate the online from the download games I just want to check out download games for play. Not sort through everything

I can not seem to download any game trials with the new site. This is the first time I have been here since the upgrade. Appreciate any help you could give me.

GH's NEW OUTFIT.........SUPERB!
I was working with layouts in my previous job for a long time. I can state that the new logo and layout is fantastic! It is simplified, modern, has a slick outlook and contains all what you need.
Good work GH and thanks to all, who where involved with this new project. You have done a great job!!

The redesign is definitely an improvement. The colors, fonts, layout and graphics are much more visitor-friendly and make the pages easier to navigate. Thanks for improving the site.
Posted on Thu May 19 11:27:09 PDT 2011
Is anyone else having problems downloading the "free" games? I hit download and either get a blank screen or an ad which plays then stops. This has been happening ever since the new format came about. No I do not use a mac.
Posted on Thu May 19 16:21:33 PDT 2011
Ever since the update to Gamehouse, I haven't been able to view my games. Whenever I try to view my games, it says there are Technical Difficulties and to contact support staff. When I click on the link the page is cut off so I can't even e-mail them. Is there a problem with Gamehouse for Windows 7?
Posted on Fri May 20 08:04:49 PDT 2011
Hello maggiemay418,
Thank you for posting the details of your experience when trying to view the "My Games" page on our website. I have seen the scenario you've described although clicking on the Support link within that message produced the full Support page including the "Contact Us" link. And Windows 7 should not pose any challenges to viewing our website. Nonetheless I know this would be very frustrating.
I have captured a screen shot of the "Technical Difficulties" error response and have forwarded it, along with your comments, to our Technical Team to investigate. We'll follow up with you offline to learn more, as we'd like to know which browser(s) you're using plus it will be helpful to learn about your computer's configuration.
As a quick reminder to everyone: For fastest service please call our Customer Support team on 1-866-831-5895. Our call center hours are:
Monday – Friday: 6 am – 6 pm PT
Saturday & Sunday: 7:30 am – 5 pm PT
Thanks again for writing, maggiemay418, and thanks for your business! We're glad to have you playing at GameHouse.

Bill,
I received your e-mail and tried to respond but the e-mail was returned. I also called customer service on Friday and was assured the problem would be resolved that day. However, I still cannot view my GH today. I tried to find an e-mail address for customer service and couldn't find one to send them the e-mail I tried to send to you. Could you please provide me one? Thanks!

Hi maggiemay418,
That's very odd that your email to me would have been returned; I have been receiving emails every day. I'm curious to know the details of that auto-response.
Please try sending your original email and the 'returned' notice to: ForumAdmins@gamehouse.com
And the email address for GameHouse Customer Support is: help@gamehouse.com
Many thanks!

I like the new look. I also like the fact you can mouse over a game, you get a overview of the game.
I would just like to have the game manager back. I like having the games in one place, no icons all over my desktop. Keep up the good work.

Please put the game size out front, or at least with game details, so I don't have to wait until the game is downloading before knowing how large the file is. Thank you please.
