    Hello,

    I am looking for reviews on my new arcades design. What do you think? Please give me details on what exactly you think of the site.

    As a reward I will be giving away 1 text link under Friends on the right side to one random reviewer. I expect to get at least 10 reviews before I give away the link.

    GamingBooth

    Thanks,
    Luke

    I'm seeing all the links at the top misaligned to the right covered by the search section with the Login | register and 99 credits unseen as it has passed onto the white. I'm using firefox on linux

    The link color of the links also doesn't stand out well on that orange bar.

    Good balanced design

    Colours work well together

    Plenty of links and information on the homepage, encourages you to click and explore, easy navigation

    One thing I'd do is where it says

    "Welcome to Gaming Booth where we offer you free online games to play. Sign up today and start playing an unlimited amount of games free! "

    I'd put some padding or another line break under it to padd it out from the advert below it, makes it easier to read then. I might consider center aligning that advert too actually

    Also, the blue used for one of the menu's and the Search button could do with being a bit darker, try making it the same shade used in the logo, it helps provide more contrast against the white then making it easier to spot and read. Moving that menu slightly further down so it is over the plain white strip will also help it be easier to read and spot.

    On the play-game pages, where you're using a 2 column layout, I'd expand the header graphics on the right hand coloumn to be as wide as the full column, just looks a bit odd having "Newest Games" red bit one width, then the list of games being nearly twice as wide.

    All in all thought, it's a very nice website and deffinately one of the better gaming websites out there. 9/10

    I love the logo! Nice job
    As for the sites layout i think its a pretty good design although the leaderboard google banner stands out way to much, i would rotate ads or put button ads in its place with links to other gaming sites and im sure you'll see better revenue results.

    I really like the site! The design is nice and professional, however, I feel that the Google ads at the top are too large. They somewhat make your content look like it isn't part of the site. There's too much space between the header and content. Maybe reducing the space between the ad and the register/login table would make the ads seem more compatible. Also, some more padding between the middle column and the side columns would be nice. It would make everything much more easier to read and more appealing to the eye, in my opinion. Finally, I feel that the headers' backgrounds are a little too large. I would shave 2 or 3 pixels off the top and bottom of each header to make the page look cleaner overall.

    Other than those minor things, the site looks fantastic! Oh, don't include me in the drawing for the link. I don't really need it atm :)

    I have just looked at your site and was pleasantly surprised. Very professional and upscale looking. Very neatly presented. Site navigation seems very easy. The colors go well with the whole theme and I love your logo.
    I even added to favorites as I need a good game site.
    Well done...
