Portfolio Assignment 5

The visualization I found was the 200 Best Video Games of All Time. 

The data set can be found here: http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/datasets/the-200-best-reviewed-computer-and-v/versions/1

My favorite visualization is this one, except the label is changed from platform to company.
This visualization shows the average score of video games for each platform. This visualization is useful for showing which companies are rated the highest per video game platform. For example, EA Sports has a much higher average score for PS2 compared to the Game Cube and the XBox, thus players would more likely to buy an EA Sports game for the PS2 rather than for the Game Cube or the XBox.


This is a pie chart showing how many games each platform and the percentage of the market each platform has. While the data is slightly outdated, this pie chart function is to show the amount of games per each platform compared to other platforms. For example, the pie chart shows the massive library of PS2 video games compared to the Game Cube library. 


My Dataset to be used for my visualization.
