Website Review and Suggestions

**veach** · 03-15-2007, 07:19 PM

Hey everyone,

I've been helping some people out that wanted to make a startup video game review website. The idea is to make the site media rich instead of using text based content for reviews and previews. We managed to get the site up in time to get press passes to this year's Game Developer's Conference, and we've been working hard since we got back from CA to fine tune the website.

I was hoping you guys could take a look at it and let me know any suggestions you might have for the visual layout itself. The amount of videos are starting to build-up, but we still have around 15 interviews from the GDC that we're going to post along with I think 5 more reviews.

The website is www.gamezombie.tv.

Thanks for the help!
-Anthony

there are a few things with this website i'm not quite fond of. if you really wanna do media rich content and have it feel different then you're gonna have to change the site around. It's still text based content with video just thrown in there. as it stands now, its just a video blog.
and yes, you should really just include the embedded videos on the main list instead of making us click for the same article but with the video embedded this time.
You only have reviews of Gamecube and Playstation 2 games. Come on, guys, its the next-gen. People don't wanna read about old games, they've already done that. Get some new games on there or at least something good from the next gen round.

What you have done here is taken the kind of website that I'm not really too keen on and made it really good. I really like it. I think for this site to be successful, you are going to need a lot of content. Thats basically what this ste is about - content is key.

I think you should make the horizontal navigation a little more interactive using rollover images. But yeh - this is a good site. Nice one!

I really like the theme design. As the others have said, I think it would be a lot better to just imbed the videos from the start clicking to go to the same post only with the video feels a bit redundant.
