    i'm on flock (based on firefox), banner looks good.

    don't particularly like the way you put your page navigation and links in unordered lists (UL), with the bullets and all. given that you have a huge black banner at the top, i think gray or black boxes would work better for the navigation and links. but you have a good sense of layout.

    I'm using FF. Why not change the theme but the color scheme is good. It's just that I'm not used to this kind of placement - like scattered. Good luck!

    I’m not a big fan of the right side navigation, having two columns makes it seems even more cluttered

    site is good with nice graphics.

    Black background adsense can be changed as it is prominent.

    you might like to try someother themes like in www.gadgetsa2z.com

    I downloaded firefox and re-designed the banner so it should show up now. Thanks for all your input.

    Hello MAL87

    I had a chance to go over your website tonight.

    My Thoughts

    Header
    As mentioned by other DP members, I'm not to keen on the location of your navigation links. Could you place them under the logo?

    Logo
    kewl logo!

    Play Page
    I would suggest that you use full color for the play game image. Right now it is slightly greyed out.

    [​IMG]

    Category Titles & Ad Titles
    The titles seem to get all bunched up in FireFox and Internet Explorer. Seems fine in Opera.

    [​IMG]

    Navigation
    all the links seem to work properly. I tried them out on 3 different browsers.

    Banner Ad
    I would recommend placing the banner ad in the middle of the content rather than at the top of each page.

    Search Bar
    I didn't realize that there was a search bar. If you wish to keep it... I would recommend that you place it some place easier to find.

    Conclusion
    Overall it is an interesting site with some good design features.

    This review was done with 3 browsers (FireFox 2.0.0.9, Internet Explorer 6.02 & Opera 9.24) on Windows XP SP2.

    I do hope you find this useful.
    Respectfully,
    Lhlalyam

    what can I say when Lhlalyam is in a review thread usually has said it all

    but let me try

    I suppose the header image is big it takes up at least half of my screen's height

    I think you have too many ads on there, people see it immediately and instinctively
    leave the site (without clicking an ad)

    I don't particularly like that the H2 {letter-spacing:-1px;}
    brings the letter too close together and the become unintelligible
    consider taking it away (or putting a to 0px)

    The header banner is far too big yep :s too much empty black space...

    The site in itself... too much empty white spaces : s

    But the pictures are teasing and I'm now curious about the movie !
