Searching - 4/5:
Searching on Ytanium is fairly easy the left hand navigation is listed by game genre with approximately 10 different genre to search from. The site also features search functionality through a simple search text field. One drawback to searching games on Ytanium is that games are listed in order of most recently added. There's no alphabetical listing or complete list to browse through quickly. Instead you need to page through all the games five at a time.
Downloading - 3/5:
Ytanium doesn't host the games it lists on it's site. This is understandable and most likely due to server costs but it does lead to some inconsistancy when trying to download a particular game you've found on Ytanium. In some cases there were invalid or broken download links but this is the exception to the rule. The vast majority of games listed on Ytanium do have valid download links to external websites
