Title: made website, want commentary
Post by: Breeta on Thu 16/10/2003 07:13:11
Hiyas,

I made a free games archive (how original) cause I think the ones out there mostly suck..

Anyways I would like some feedback on how it could be improved (besides adding more games, i'll get to that) or ideas for a logo..
Basically I want to have best freeware games site on the net!!! Suggestions?

Oh and also if you know a cool free game not listed (besides one made in AGS, i'm going to add them all soon) please let me know.

link is www.freepcgameworld.com

Thanks,
Breeta

That's very cool. The site looks professional. If you update it constantly I'm sure to visit it a lot and I'm sur emany others too.
When you update, list the games you added in the main page.
Add Betrayal at Krondor in RPG, it's the best RPG ever in my opinion and it is freeware nowadays.
Also you should research more towards amateur made free games instead of commercial games that had gone freeware cos most people know about those already.

YAY!
Do you want to affiliate?
I run a similar site ^-^
itkid.com
And I agree about krondor, I played it and read the book. Same goes for Dune RPG.

The site is looking good, Breeta, congrats! One suggestion: on the main page, when you add a note about the latest games added, link to the game rather than the genre page, i.e. link to MMOG.htm#PuzzlePirates rather than just MMOG.htm.  That way one doesn't have to search for the particular game on the page, an exercise that will become quickly tedious once you have a gazillion games.

Just a thought.  Great job, tho' :)

I love it. The only thing that bothers me is the side scrolling on 800x600. But thats just me. I'm shure other people arnt bothered by it.

Very well done!

About the rating. Maybee you can let people login or something, and that they can rate the games theirselves, like at the ags-games section.

Furthermore I like it, but somehow I think America's Army doesn't fit in, I don't know why, it just doesn't feel right.

Thanks for all the feedback!! I made the page thinner, added anchor links, and added Betrayal at Krondor. When I have some time I'll set it up so that everyone can rate the games themselves.. that would be dope!

On a side note, I went thru a lot of trouble to get a copy of Americas Army which included 3 trips to the recruiting place and lots of small chat with the officers >.< and when I finally got a copy of the game found out my system's too crappy to run it..  *sigh* Anyways maybe it belongs in the mmog section. I'll think on it...

Again thank you!

I suggest a few things that made other freeware sites really awesome:

Allow users to rate the themselves, there can be 2 seperate rating, one from the webmaster and the user.

Allow users to send you games or post them so you can add them to your site.

Use a virus scanner and garuntee a virus free envorinment

Change the rating for Runescape before I beat your head in  :P

I don't want to get into a rant about why Runescape is soo awesome, so I will just end with this... Bad ass site man.

I like the site. I've wanted to do a site just like this for ages, but havnt had the time or know-how to do so. Good work, i'm gonna favourite this site. And i don't favourite all that many sites...

Another thing - you should have the directory you are in highlighted, or in another colour on the left bar thingy.

Also, I think that 5 Days a Stranger should be in the Adventure catagory... i don't know really. It's still an adventure even though it is survival/horror.

And for some more- Some of the pages still need resizing: Free Games, Home, Sports, FAQ's, About, Rating. Thats just to make it consistent with the other pages.

heya
I am humbled by all these compliments. Sorry I haven't added any games in awhile, I am outta town. All these suggestions are great!
I hate how a site will look totally nice on my computer, and way too big on someone else's. I am using someone's aol browser and I see theres some problems.
Yeah 5 Days a Stranger is an adventure game but I needed something to put in that catagory! lol
I was rather hard on Runescape. I'll go back and change the rating soon.
Oki so I'll update the site and add some games when I get back home in November..

if you want America Army, save your self some bandwidth and web space and link to the Dl page on Nvidia.com
Its a free Download anyway :)
You will have to goto Nvidia and search but it is there (thats where I get mine)

the site itself is cool, nice looking and easy to use.. good job
