purpose - The purpose of the website IGN is to provide readers with an honest review about games for different consoles and films. They get there review across to readers in a number of ways like writing about it and providing screenshots to physically show the reader and they also make videos of them playing the game. IGN review both the good points and bad points about a game which could influence you to buy the game or not depending whether you see something you like within the game or dislike. IGN write and show you the same sort of thing with films and talk about the actors performance whether it was good or could have been better and could influence you to not the see the film and watch another.
Visitor Needs - The visitor needs for IGN is for any age who can read because they don't just review games which are for 18s+ but they look at many others like "PG, 3, 7, 16" and many others. They do the same when looking at films they look at a variety of age rated films and IGN look at a variety of different genres for both films and games because not everybody likes the same genre and will watch or play the same film or game. The visitor would want to use this website to see other peoples opinions on games for example if everyone has given the game a bad review you aren't likely to buy it, there may be mixed opinions and you might like all the positives of that game and you may be interested to buy it or they may have made a sequel of a previous game and haven't included some features so you don't want to buy it. You may see an advert for a new TV show on television which looks good but then look at the reviews and find out it isn't very interesting and the advert just makes it look good and you don't like the storyline behind it so you wont watch it or you might be interested if it has a good story and people write good reviews about it. The visitor wants to be able to easily access the different reviews to games, tv shows, films and be able to see the advantages and disadvantages with pictures and even videos explaining why they don't like certain things and they should be kept up to date with new reviews which are coming up.
