Website
Well designed website
Browsing and Search tools
Editorials Lists
Quality rental descriptions
User review and ratings
Verdict: Games By Post has a flashy website
with a snazzy design including a clever flash menu
system. The site includes all the basic game rental
tools such as a search box, browsing categories and
game descriptions. You can easily navigate the site and
add games to your watchlist.
The main problems with the site is the fact information is displayed in a narrow column which results in hard to read text. The site is also missing
editorial game lists such as Most Popular, New
Releases and Coming Soon. Overall, the site
looks good but is lacking detail.
