- - - - screen support
      - Consistent font family and sizes
      - disclaimer warning
      - consistent placement of buttons, text, footer and buttons.
    - - consistent layout for users to comprehend the display much easily. all buttons and the background should clearly contrast for the user to easily read the text.
    - - User shortcuts for usual users, and ability to search for games with specific console, rating and developer companies.
      - Starred games list created by users when they are recommended or interested in something.
    - - using email or SMS confirmation when handling important information such as billing information.
    - - less risk in regards to non-conformance.
  - - - This presents data such as: console, game name, Year Released, Publisher, genre, sequel, used price, maturity rating, online capabilities, cross-platform capabilities, maximum players, sales, url.
      - This data set has a higher variety of information but is not consistent as several of the data samples provided are unnecessary in the construction of this application.
    - - This presents useful information such as, title, url, platform, genre, editors choice, release date, score.
      - This data set is concise, has valid information that is required when constructing a database that recommends users games or adding or removing them from databases.
    - - We are required to prepare a technical proposal for an innovative application that utilises game data provided with the multiple data sets provided.
      - For the technical proposal a 4 week time constraint is present along with a 9-11 minute time limit for the technical proposal itself.
  - - - 'vgsales.csv'
        
        vg sales is more suitable as it gives both the developer and publisher and more useful information, enabling users to get more out of the application as there is a wider range of information. this data set would also allow more freedom to work with as it has a data field called 'rank' that no other dataset has. however, this data set ha information that is unclear and therefore these pieces of information will have to be removed when normalising. this data set also provides the more than enough for the necessary amount of information required to make this game review application successful.
      - 'Video-Game.csv'
        
        The ‘video-game.csv’ data set has a wide range of available data suitable for the Game-time review application, but some categories of information are unreliable and best unused for the task at hand. However, there is much more advantages from using this data set for the application being designed, such as having numerous game genre types, rating types, price ranges, console types, all of which can be utilised to make specific searches (based on categories) for the user to find games within the data set. These game search categories can be used to presented to the user with information when they click on the game, and this will provide more information, this will allow the user to decide if they want to follow up for more information regarding the game. Another feature useable from this is to present the user games in the order of maturity and critic ratings, this way the user doesn’t have to explore the app a lot further to find what they’re looking for. The main advantage of this data set is how specific /refined the search queries can be made in order to find what the user wants. However, this data set has a lot of unusable data fields throughout it such as; ‘YearReleasedSq’, ‘InUsedPrice’, ‘ReviewSq’ and etc. These data fields cannot be incorporated in the application as it is not information ideal users are expected to know, and so will not be meaningful if incorporated into search queries. Due to these disadvantages, the data set will have to be heavily modified in order to be used for the application.
    - - Even though both datasets have large quantities of data, several more data fields are required to complete the database required for the application. A starred/favourites list, data field must be added to the database. This is crucial for the use to effectively use the information presented from the data set in the application. Image fields and link fields are crucial for the user to comprehend the data presented more effectively. This is especially important in order to increase the usability of the application for the user.
      - Both datasets have varying advantages and disadvantages, however the dataset that is much more effective for this application to succeed is the ‘vgsales.csv dataset. This is due to its wider range of information available for the application, such as; 'rank', ‘title’, ‘console’, ‘US sales’, ‘Year Released’, ‘Publisher’, ‘genre’, and etc. This larger selection of data fields will allow the application to perform much more efficiently, as it contains much more relevant and useful data. Whereas, using ‘video-game.csv’ would only be able to provide information regarding the critic score, URL and the game title and other information only regarding the developer side, which would not be effective for a game review application.
