Lost Planet

Again, another award winner from Horizon. Again, nothing too splendid. I can appreciate that the best approach to creating a game website is to imitate the game itself in style, of which most achieve. However I don't think it needs to be done in such a bog standard manner. It may well come down to budget but I don't think this is any excuse to keep on churning out website's that are quite literally identical bar a style switch, which is very reminiscent of just switching to a different CSS style on a template.

This website is very similar in style to the EA Game's release "Battlefield: 2142". The thing that I quite liked about this website was it's thermal indicator. Basically this is a part of the website that encourages the user to boost his 'thermal energy levels' by looking through the website. Once your 'levels' have reached a high amount you get to see something or other.
However with the website seemingly not loading 90% of the time and there being no way of reloading previous pages I got stuck with loading bars almost all the time and so gave up. This idea however was a great plan to get users to fully explore a website that they might otherwise move along from quite soon.
