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.

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.
