We've decided to make January a memorable month, even if there isn't much happening in the way of games releases. This month we're going to be taking a close look at the Xbox 360. With less than three months until the console is out in Australia, one of our european staff members has his own Xbox 360 and is ready to talk about the good, the bad and the damn right ugly. If you're still on the fence when deciding to buy an Xbox 360 then our hardware review should be an eye opener.
PALGN's much anticipated home page redesign will be launching at the end of this week and we've decided to give you a quick glimpse into how things will look. We're very excited about the redesign because not only will it bring us up to next gen standards, but it will also make it far easier to navigate through our latest content. Below are a few teaser images to wet your appetite.
Our first image is a close up of part of the featured section where we will post the most important articles that we publish. This section is written in flash and is fully interactive. Along with its icon each featured article will have its own specially created featured image included in the display (not shown here).
The right section of the top header is now in flash in order to solve the nasty anti-analysing issue that we have currently on the navigation links. We've also added a search bar so you can look quickly find the article on PALGN that you're looking for.
Our third image is the most revealing. It showcases what is going to be on display down the page. The article list has been split with news and rumours on one side and features, reviews and previews on the other.
Finally, there has also been a lot of work done on the backend. Our media processing tools have been updated such that you should expect to find far more media (and of a higher quality) listed with each article. We've also fixed the painful distortion issue that has plagued our media thumbnails.
There are still a few days of development left to go, so the design is subject to change but please feel free to let us know what you think of what we've unveiled in the forums. We've got a few other things planned for January including another competition, but we'll reveal more on this later on in the month.
fool, your secret to these pictures are now mine.
Very exciting.
