The above links are searched in the database of Temasek Polytechnic, the EBSCOhost. I have searched on my topic, EA Games. I find this four links rather useful and relevant to my topic. The first two links are the EA Games available to the public. It summarises what the game is about and how is it like. While the other two links are articles that shows some EA information. It shows interesting information which we hardly get to know or think of when playing the game.

Yani, Kevin and I created a Wiki account and we posted our thread based on our topic. I have chose this link, http://www.ea.com.sg/en-sg/, the EA official website. Information in it are very reliable as it is set up by the EA company. It mainly consist of all the computer and video games produced by EA company. It provides sufficient information related to all the games, on top of it, user could also view the lastest updates of the games from the webpage. Games demo are also released in the website for user who are interested in trying out the games. EA games can also be purchased and downloaded from the webpage directly instead of buying it physically which makes it more convenient for players. News of the games will also be updated regularly for user to view it and get informed. Offers and promotions will also be flash in the website to inform the public. Most of the users will also be fascinated by the screenshots that are available in the webpage and can be downloaded for free. User could also get to know which are the coming up games that will be released soon. I think this website is definitely a excellent webpage to view as it shows many EA games and its information. User who are interested in any of the EA games could just view this webpage and will be able to retrieve more information on it.

Web page
The websites i evaluated for Web page is EA's official website and an official website by IGN Entertainment, Inc. I have given EA's official website a higher marks compared to my resource 2. 4/5 for EA and 2/5 for IGN Entertainment, Inc. I find that EA's official website is an area where it provides the fullest and most updated information about EA games.

Subject Directory
I have choose Yahoo and Go webpage to evaluate. These two websites are rather useful on searching relevant search of my topic. I have rated Yahoo 4/5 and Go for 3/5. I have given Yahoo a higher rating is because i find Yahoo return results are more relevant to my topic. The most relevant links are listed at the top of search results. For Go, some of the first few links in the return results are not relevant to EA games.

Go webpage

Search Engine
For search engine, i have choosen Google and Altavista to evaluate. I find that Google have better ranking compare to Altavista of the relevant links in its return results. But Altavista allows me to search not just information or websites, but also audio files and Mp3 files. Which Google does not have this search option and Altavista also provides translation which is very useful for user who does not know English. However, i rated Google 4/5 and Altavista 3/5 as i think that most importantly Google have helped me search quite a few useful and related links to my topic.
