Analyze Top Blog

That VideoGame Blog

Content:
The topic this blog covers is video games; reviews, news, updates, polls, cheat codes, glitches, tips, etc.
The topics do not cover are Let’s Play and prices.
The style they post in is very informational; they often tell the whole backstory of the game. The style of writing in the reviews is professional. Many different people work there, so the style changes slightly.
They post at least once a day, often times more. They tend to cover at least 1 review a week, and 3 news posts.
The posts are directed toward people who do not know much about videogames, since each post has the history of the series. Although some post are in-depth and require some prior knowledge.

Reader Engagement:
Overall there is not mush reader engagement, but some of the top posts are about breaking news.
The styles the readers seem to enjoy are mostly professional, but in some cases the entertaining posts are loved.
The most common questions are being asked during reviews, whether or not the game is worth buying.
The complaints are opinion based, people disagreeing with the overall score of a game.
They use a Facebook page and a forums section, also the commenting section in the blog posts.

Design:
The first impression gives off a friendly, quick-read type of blog. It has lots of pictures and rating of video games.
I think that the overall blog design is perfect, and the forums are controlled and easy to follow. The bad part is that some posts are too long, after clicking on a simple post; I didn’t expect an extensive story.
The only option they have to subscribe is by liking their Facebook page.

Monetization:
The ads on the home page are about casinos, and playing casino games. There are also other blogs promoting on their site.
