Responding to considerable feedback from the accessible gaming community,
we revised our ranking process.
Our objectives with the Top Web Sites project are to:
- Provide useful information to the accessible gaming community
- Recognize contributions to accessible gaming
Our criteria for ranking Web sites is, in order of weight:
- Sites where you can get accessible games
- Since many gamers with special accessibility needs are on limited incomes, games that are FREE are preferable to those which are not.
- Help, especially for accessibility features
- Reviews that emphasize accessibility
- Industry and technical information that emphasizes accessibilty
- Community with folks interested in accessible gaming
Some rankings may not precisely follow those criteria because some Web sites have exceptional strengths or weaknesses.
Our expertise is in what we ourselves do, build and market games that:
- Are single user games
- Run on Windows
- Are playable by adult and child gamers who are blind, vision impaired, color blind, motion impaired, deaf, or hard of hearing.
Therefore, we can reasonably rank only Web sites that meet those criteria.
In addition, we recognize though do not rank, Web sites that:
- Are Shout Outs from the accessible gaming community
- We personally think the coummunity would like to know about
Here are our selections for 2012.
