That is a very, very nice site. Only things that could be improved on are the main links could be buttons instead of tetx and the sections links in the top corner could be a bit bigger as they are hard to read on my resolution and you dont really notice them.

Maybe the orange background is a bit garish i would go for a dark grey, but that is just my preference.

Overall a very, very nice site. Hmmmm ive allready said that.

EDIT: Wow ive seen how the colours change depending on which section your in. I really like that :D

The site is active and lively . I would suggest a full banner on the top. i suggest that the contents should be also in orange color.OTherwise nice and clean site.

I don't like the 3 columns at the bottom being equal size. I expect content to be there, in the middle.
I would put the latest reviews in the middle, and make it a bit wider.
Also, the blue links on the dark grey background are VERY hard to read.

I'd make the navigation into button, or at least change the font to something other than Times New Roman. And the blue against the grey is very difficult to read. (Viewing in 1280x1024).

I'm not too fond on your choices of background colours. The orange is barable, and would maybe look better on a different part of the page. Somewhere smaller. It just looks a little over powering as the background. When the background is purple, the contrast over tha page hurts my eyes.

Other than that, the site looks great! Well layed out, and generally good looking. Keep up the good work :wink:

well its a huge website...and color changing on several pages looks odd to me..cause sometimes I think I'm leaving the site!!! and ofcourse the top banner is not align with the other pages banner..it seems to be moved when I click any link for example (the need for speed most wanted link) when you click the link then the banner will move from its original position..which is not professional.

And finally the whole page should be middle alignment for better looking.

The general layout is very clean which is good. One thing you should definitely change is the blue links on grey background. Its very difficult to read.

I almost didn't see the top left menu (section). It feels like it's not even there... maybe you should make it bigger?

Very nice site. Design is simple and not too cluttered like some other gaming sites. It could be less cluttered still. The reviews are good and it looks professional. When i originally saw I thought it would just be a amatuer gaming website but it does look professional.

The site's template has now been centered, limiting the colourful backgrounds that potentially distract the viewers.

Further opinions on the slight change to the design are welcome.

Thanks.

I like the range of colors you've used. It appears friendly if that makes sense.

I think the links in the top left corner should be a bit bigger. I didn't even notice them at first. Also, the three colunms at the bottom are a bit long. Maybe try trimming a quarter off and spreading the article headlines out a bit.

Other than that it appears to be a very good site.
