all these engines are state of the art. i can't decide which one is the better one. but if i had to choose one and one only it would have to be the next gen UE3 samaritan.]
i've read before that bioware and another company is using the Unreal Engine for the next few years. that's saying alot.
you're right it shouldn't be confusing. i have a hard time seeing how it could confuse the user but thsoe people are out there.
gamespot obviously know this, (the other guys don't) but you make a web site with the user in mind. you don't make it for you. once it's out there to the public it's not your baby anymore. it's our baby. i'm citing that verbatim. heh...
not saying it's impossible, but that's alot of work. each game having it's own image in one page? population nightmare. it might slow the download by far to alot of people. there's so much to consider. the name of the game and the score it recieved are the important things.
If you want to know what went on prior to gears 3 then yes. otherwise its not a big deal. i haven't even read the novels yet. what's to lose? buy 1 & 2. TU6 for gears2 isn't all that bad.
I know it's redundant to have a home button and logo on the main page, but it's good redundancy. it's not exactly safe to assume that users will know to click the logo to return home. I was a confused for a second looking for the home button, but only because I'm used to looking for it.
keep in mind that not everyone is able to navigate websites like most of us. not every user thinks like that. just having the logo as an active link to the home page isn't enough. this may seem trivial but it's a pretty big deal in the grand sheme of things.
it's common sense, i know. tons of people know this. im speaking for the rest who don't. it doesn't hurt to have both the logo and the home botton icon on the index.
