    I like the Swiss flag (I was born in Geneva). Not bad, but make sure the pages work (I couldn't get to the selection of games) and also it would be good to have a few samples up on the main page.

    I like everything except for the banner ads which doesn't quite fit in. I understand you need to monetize from the site, but the ads just doesn't blend in.
    Contents are ok because there are enough to make visitors stay. Design wise - mediocre, but can be better with redesigned navigation and 3d banner looks
    Hope that helps...

    dont use links that goes to 404 pages. that would be very bad for the site's seo.

    Nice design / template choice :) Good use of OSWD ;)

    Make sure you have permission to host the games

    towerdefencearcade.com/contact.html has generic content in the left sidebar

    The contact form doesnt work because its probably not a wordpress installation, the theme was made for wordpress. Your best just having an email address there or using another conatct form script, or removing the contact page all together - do people need to conatct you?

    Also the title needs changing on this page.

    Additionally, why not have the list of games the front page, the introduction could appear above this but at first the list of games is hard to find.


    The Back to Main page link im not sure is needed too.

    Nice site overall and a good start

    'starting looking at our selection of games' doesn't make sense. Do you mean 'look at our selection of games'?

    I'd put more content on the homepage. Especially since you have two ad spots on it. If you're going to keep the little amount of content, loose the ad on the left.
