    Do you only post flash games? Do you have any Silverlight games too?

    Nice website. However, I don't like your logo design. The peep on the side with the hat smoking the cigar! Not cool. Take away the smoking' please... I like the rest of your site. You have a nice collection of games... a lot, but not THAT much. 0_o

    Great work though. Yet, I think you can design a better, more upbeat logo than the current one.

    Looks busy, but that's what gamers like, so you're on the right track! The logo, however, is a bit amateur. If you have a bit of money, you should have professionals make one for you -- it's not expensive (Ex: logodesignteam.com). Otherwise, if you have to make your own, keep it simple!

    I like it but I would have liked to see a more defined logo at the top. Thanks

    Nice short domain for a start, that could be very catchy.

    in terms of design, I don't like it, it looks too much like other arcade sites, try to make a more unique and elegant design, other then that, 6/10 :D

    I like the domain name as it's short and catchy and the design does look like most other arcade sites.

    I would suggest to create a template that have a shadowed feel. Current design looks flat. When creating a nice website, use 2 or 3 prime colors and define arrears with well built borders or markers. Gives structure and helps the eyes to navigate.

    DOMAIN IS 10YEAR OLD - how old is your site!?
    Try to find an open template - you already have some visitors. You have to decrease your Bounce rate (is over 60%) Good luck

    my bounce rate 60% where do you get that info? Google analytics tells me its 30-40%
    I guess Im going to have to look for a good web designer. I do all my own work and thought this design was half unique?? but the more I look at it after you guys mentioned it it does look a little like other sites.
    Thanks heaps for all your comments and info. Love to hear more :)

    @weathor, yes domain name is 10yr old but site has only been live for round 4months or so now..

    I like the design of the site. Loads quickly, easy to navigate.

    My biggest peeve is that all your links are underlined by default. This adds a lot of "clutter" feel to your site. Try removing these and making them a mouseover effect only (or just having mousover on link change the color.

    not bad, i think it is good for your target audience, but it can be cleaned up a bit. And the font is a little off too.
