    Honestly...I expected to see a lot more graphics, being that it is a gaming site.
    Seems kind of plain.
    If i could make a suggestion, I would invest in a premium theme that is rich with options for displaying graphics and video.

    When I go to a gaming site, I want entertainment, after all gaming is the entertainment industry. You can't do an entertainment site without great visuals.

    Whilst it looks nice, clean and tidy... As a visitor I have no idea what your site is about. Your domain name is a random combination of 5 letters. There's nothing on the page telling me what the site does for me (with the small exception of the title). The first thing I see are 2 advertisements. The only other things I have to look at are blue text and grey text. The CheatBeast link at the bottom just links back to your site.

    Even if you don't get a new layout, you NEED to get some graphics on there (box shots/screen shots) next to each post would work nicely. Get yourself a decent header made with some game characters, etc on it. Make the letters of your domain mean something, or get a new domain.

    WAIT! I just worked it out from your signature - it's meant to stand for Games Videos R Us? There's no videos.

    The site looks plain, it does not look professional, you should get a
    professional logo and a theme, and add some graphics to make the
    site look more appealing to the eye.

    I agree. It's too plain for a gaming site. There should be more graphics especially the homepage. For example, you have a featured game, there should be graphics for it, etc.

    Thing is it looks more like a blog than a gaming website. I had to double check to make sure I was on the correct page.

    as its a gaming site, it has tobe attractive and fully loaded with Computer graphics stuff. for now its looking like some "Made for adsense site".
    Poor design, could have done better.

    Honestly I don't like it. I prefer clean designs like MaxGames or CrazyMonkeyGames.
