With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

weird. that does seem pretty counter-intuitive. i wonder why they think this is an improvement.

yeah it changed for me. the new face is much more polished and clean looking but at the expense of functionality to us more acquainted users... i like to know that my search for "fat chicks in party hats" comes from respectable and educational .edu sources, as my company frowns upon fat chicks. or maybe its party hats... either way one more strike from HR and i'll never get my bathroom privileges back...

Really a bad improvement.

Personally, I like the new uncluttered look. Much cleaner, without the information that I never looked at anyways.

Great news! You can restore the old functionality by simply disabling JavaScript.

I've got it also here in Central Florida. I don't like it. I don't like having to drag the mouse all over the page to get the information I need. I have to be careful where I leave the mouse on the page so that something I'm not interested in is highlighted.

Please complain to Google about this. comments@google.com
In the meantime you can use Yahoo Image search if needed.

It looks like they're just trying to put as many images in the visible area as possible.
The javascript adds reflow, so that there can be more than 4 images per row (useful for wide screens).
And the mouseover info sometimes overlaps the image below it, so more rows per screen too.

Ugh, I hate it for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

I just ran into the same issue. I thought I accidentally installed a Greasemonkey script but had my coworkers check their computers. It certainly seems to be a useless update.

I noticed here yesterday when I cringed at the blue rectangle following the tracking of the mouse. That's counterintuitive and distracting.
Can I be allowed to look where the mouse pointer is not?
Only if you don;t mind that blue box jumping around just at the edge of you field of view.
This one is a winner. Almost as good as the new yahoo tv grid interface.

wow, that is pretty terrible.... I agree, there are countless reasons to be able to see the dimensions and other info for pics on google image search; for them to remove that will make image searching more annoying than it should be. We've seen what you can do google, why the step backwards?

It's here in the UK too. I hate it for all the above reasons. Emailing Google...

They've been testing this for a while, I think....

I'm hoping customizegoogle, for firefox, should sort this out soon, and restore the previous functionality (or even better if google put it back to the way it was!!).
Like all the other post i am not liking this new 'feature' one bit.

i did notice today but i really didn't even think about it till i read this article. it was nice seeing the resolution before so you can pick out nice large pictures. you guys are right. and if one picture on a broken link doesn't work, you don't know how many of the pictures are going to work right away. that is kind of a pain in the arse.

You should check out Imagery (http://elzr.com/imagery). It is a wrapper for Google Image Search. It addresses every single issue you just mentioned about the new Google Image Search, and adds some really great functionality on top of it.

Yeah, I hate the change.

I noticed that today too. My thought was that it was a pain because I couldn't see the image host's website at a glance. When I snag an image, I try to follow copyrright rules, as well as avoid clicking on potentially spammy websites. I totally hate the new mouse-over interface.
