I like it. A lot.
Rather than opening a new window 5 times to find out some update news or get the game forum up, its all on the front page of the game, plus I really like the background changing to a screenshot of the game. The added feature of showing you who plays it and if they are online or not (from Community) is really nice, because it means I now know who has the game rather than asking everyone every time I want a game.
Installing the games is easier as well, and the interface is actually alot cleaner than it was before. That said, I would still prefer to have a time remaining on the screen rather than percentage and speed. To get the time, I have to start the game and watch the bar, which then stops all the others. The catagories feature is awesome though, since I can now sort games out into game series, along with stuff I play in teams, in casual groups or solo.
I would probably stay in detailed format, but looking at list and icon, I can see their appeal. Icon is probably my second favourite, but the fact that not all games have proper icons kinda turns me off it. List is a (very nice) upgrade of the old, but just doesn't appeal to me either. That said, those which prefer them will obviously love the changes made.
I am also in love with the store. It's looks so much nicer and it's a lot easier to navigate to where your going. They've also added a little description on the main pages, rather tham making you click on it to find it. I've noticed that it's a lot quicker in loading and searching. On the game pages themselves, the trailers start automatically, which is great, but annoying if your already listening to music.
