The site has had a face lift and is powered by a new backend.

It does still have older games listed than MetaCritic and a different rating system.

What happened to GameRankings in February 2009?

GameRankings originated on Windows back in 1999, and its basic architecture had hardly changed since. Since GameRankings was purchased by CNET in 2003, and then since the merger with CBS in 2008, fewer and fewer people with the company were able to maintain and update the site.

After a server failure in February 2009, the decision was made to quickly move the site onto the standard CBS Interactive server setup, re-using existing code and templates from other game sites.

I am glad that the site is back up, and to be honest, I don't care much about how it looks, though I do miss that it used to allow people to add more content.
