Website AnalysisSometimes it seems as if the computer games industry is dying, crushed to death by its own bulk. Every year more and more gaming companies are being subsumed into huge conglomerates like Electronic Arts, companies that mostly produce garbage that is technically and visually impressive, but devoid of concept and content. However, there are some small gaming companies bucking the trend. While these are mostly small groups of programmers and artists, some are huge unions of fans who, angered by the decline in quality of computer games, have decided to harness the power of the Internet to band together and produce games tailored to their needs. personal preferences. For comparison purposes, the Electronic Arts website (http://www.eagames.com/) was examined. Like many corporate websites, it's very nice, with images of the games everywhere. The dark backgrounds and light text are pleasing to the eye, and the site is well organized. The tabs on the left allow the viewer to select the desired gaming platform; Drop-down menus and a search bar at the top allow for easy access to game titles. Each game title has a secondary web page that provides a vignette of the game: a brief synopsis, images of the game, system requirements, a link to the game's official web page (which usually has a separate layout, and more diverse information, together with reviews, etc.) and of course a "Buy Now" link. EA Games' website does a great job of providing information about its products to those who know nothing about its games, providing just enough description to pique the viewer's interest. ; it is mainly used for advertising and would not make a good connection for a community of fans of its games: it does not provide forums, clan game lists... half of paper... its broadband connection to play multiplayer games on Internet (and therefore has the bandwidth to spare to load a site with many large features that clog the connection), the games produced by Moonpod and Hero6 are older in style and therefore appeal more to players who prefer traditional offline games , games best enjoyed in single player mode. Traditional gamers don't need a fast connection for the type of games they play and may be more inclined to use the cheaper 56K dial-up connection. They can't be bothered to visit a website that would take nearly an hour to load, so Moonpod and Hero6 schedule their pages accordingly. Depending on what you were looking for, I could confidently recommend any of these sites, or all of them. They are all well made and I know that I for one am the target audience for all three, as I play the games displayed on each of the websites.
