Is there a website that you have seen that really impressed you that we may not ever see? If so post them here, and if you want to explain how you came across it, and whether you still visit the site.

For me the best website for a game I've ever seen was for Fatal Frame 5.

I came across this website by hearing about the series on the internet and being a huge fan I sought this site out. I was NOT disappointed) I still go there once in a while just to experience the website and keep my hype level up for this game, lol. 

Be warned, if you have a slow connection this website may not work on your computer. There is a LOT going on.

I think VG websites have the same problem as games. Sacrificing functionality for bling bling.

Yes, but isn't one of the purposes of a website to hype the product? 

I actually don't know anyone who even visits official websites. Usually websites are there to deliver information, first and foremost. I don't come to a website to be entertained. And then it's rather annoying that I have to sit through a thousand logos and cinematics before I can even access the information. Information that is mostly obscured by all the art stuff going on.

You know someone now! For games that aren't out (or localized) it's a great way to access information. And I agree, having to wait through crap to get some information I need is a pain, but the website I provided you can access the information with absolutely no wait. The first thing that pops up is the navigation area.
