Layout of GameFAQs

A website I frequent quite often is www.gamefaqs.com. This website has a lot to offer a person who is interested in anything video game related - especially the opportunity to help and be helped. I choose to look at the layout of this website because I know it is complex and I am familiar with it. I found myself far from disappointed.

The first thing I noticed with the website was the Ideal-Real layout, with the large logo at the top left of the screen, followed by a set of text including important announcements from the websites administrators. It trickles down to off-site information, and finally, contact information, which could be related to the Given-New layout. This website also displays the Network layout very well, as well as a few trees and tables. I feel this website is slightly too cluttered, however for the content of the website, I assume people will be able to easily find the information they are seeking.
