    Hey people,

    I thought, now it's time for a design review of my newest creation. This design wasn't from scratch, originally it was just based on the well known default phpBB style 'subSilver', however I tried to modify it so that the design looked completely different.
    I didn't worked very long on it, but still I hope its a good design, but I want to make it better as far as possible, and therefor I need you ;)

    The site to review is www.vgtalks.com ... all feedback is appreciated, whether it is positive or negative (and negative is mostly the most useful .. ;) )

    Thanks in advantage ! :)

    hiyo, i checked out your site, btw I am an avid gamer so im prob going to register on you site lol but ok, so the site definitely has the right mojo when you walk in, its reminds me more so of like the old school atari design for some reason. green is my fav color, so the color scheme i thought was VERY appealing. The only O.C.D type comment i can think of was the forum tabs, the i guess alienish tabs don't look like the right size, it kinda makes me want like fix it , make it smaller or what not. I don't know it jus kinda looks blurry.

    In the end though, I seriously thought it was great scheme, especially it makes a gamer relate to it. If it was a public scheme and i saw it, i prob would use it^^

    good luck with it^

    Thanks for your review, think_jc :)
    Those "alienish" tabs are in fact edited figures from space invaders.
    But you're right they seem to have a bit wrong size. I'll try to fix them; thanks a bunch!

    I would use a different font in your green button.. maybe impact instead? I would also make the green button a bit darker (it stands out too much with the overall black color scheme) . The rest of the site looks great though ;)
