February 15, 2008  Hey FlashNewz readers. Hope you had a good Valentine's Day. Going out on a Thursday night can really give you an early case of weekenditis. Felt like I had to get up early on a Saturday all morning. Ah well. I'll take Friday. And if you didn't go out there's no shame in that either. I've spent many a Valentine's just chillin' at home playing some video games completely secure in my decision to do so.Many games have got some exquisite animation and translate into their flash sites as well. Not so much in character movement for the most part but more so in page transition and menu animation. It's amazing what they can think of to pull the viewer into engaging the site. The Virtua Fighter 5 site has some awesome transforming menus and video windows. Aion: The Tower of Eternity has a nice angelic wing intro and a rotating screenshot carousel. The last one, Advance Wars, has a website that looks better than the actual game. It's multi-layered page transitions are much cooler than anything you'll see in the little hand-held version. I'm sure it's fun, but the website's better to look at. Today we welcome another submission by Stefan Richter that reports a new 3.14 version of the JW FLV Media Player.
