I just want to know who's brilliant idea it was to go from a pretty awesome flash based site with lots of background and info about the games and the company, to a goddamn wordpress blog.

Here's a few pointers:

- Double links, really? Why do 'Oddbox' and 'Games' link to the same place while it doesn't explain anything about the Oddbox?

- Your 'shop' is a list of links. At least name it 'Where to buy' and not a 'shop'. Also why are there only links for AO and AE? What happened to MO and SW?

- The 'About' page is filled with rather useless info. 18% of sales in Europe were female gamers? Looks to me like someone had a really really really hard time writing even 3 paragraphs of text about OWI and just threw in some random facts to fill the space. Nice going.

- Why are you telling the entire story for each game on their respective page? When I look at any other game's 'about' page I get a description of the game's mechanics, what you get to do and with what means, not the entire story of the game in a few paragraphs. God forbid they did/do that with Half Life.

- And there's a useless link in the navigation bar. Odd What? Come on...

You know, any fan base is notorious for always bitching at everything a company gives them. It's that way with any game franchise. But this makes it almost too easy. Aside from the fancy graphics that entire site is a joke.
