Creative use of hyperlink

A website that creatively uses hyperlinks would be gamespot.com. It's the homepage on my computer so I decided to post about it.. It took awhile to find a site that used hyperlinks in a cool way. What gamespot does is, use vertical thumbnail pictures as links (with the text beneath it). But also in the background is a larger picture of the game with more information (but this changes in a timed fashion to match the thumbnail). So basically, you get a mini preview of the game. They used to have movie video clips of the game instead of larger pictures, but now they don't. I like it better this way, the other way was too chAøtic.

Another thing I like about this website is the banner. To a degree, it blends in with the larger background picture behind it, but still somehow manages to be a banner on top of that picture. And there is no banner/picture lag as I scroll down the page, I hate lag. It's well executed.
