1. How do you guys feel about pixel based games? eg. like the old Mario games.

2. What do you guys look for in games website? In terms of site design and content.

Some examples:
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

I love pixel-based games, as long as they're good. I still play my old mario games on game-boy colour and such.

Games these days have too much emphasis on graphics and it is all to often that I see people pick up a game, look at the screenshots on the back and put it back down going "nah..the graphics suck", without even reading the description!

In a games website I want to see originality and colour! I want it to heavily relate to the game and not try and fill me with promises and basically a whole heap of crap that is just trying to get me to buy the game.

I also don't like music on them. I often browse the net when listening to music so website music really annoys me. And the last thing is I don't like it to be massively animated and stuff, cause that just eats up my download. And I like the have the option of NOT watching the video's. I know that game websites are usually just for advertising the game, but I don't like it when they force me to watch a video.

Hope that helped Good luck with your research.

Pixel games are great. Did anyone notice that one of the pirates on Tetra's ship (under legend) looked like a guy from animal crossing?

1) I still really like pixel games, I still like playing NES and SNES games, many of these games have the better gameplay than the games with high quality graphics.

2) In terms of a gaming site I like it to be simple and easy to use but also contains meaningful and original content.
