    Well, it could use some organizing. Like ZeroSleep mentioned the color of the header doesnt look very catchy. You should add some information at the bottom of your footer too. Anyways like always a good start and build from there. Try a different color scheme for the boxes too.

    The content area is pretty organized.. for your header area, make it a bit higher in height so it doesn't look so tight. Also.. try adding a font color for your logo's font, yellow perhaps?

    I'm not a fan of the colours used. The blue is too bright and overpowering in my opinion, it just doesn't look very appealing.

    It's easy enough to navigate around though, which is important with an arcade website.

    Well, all I can say is that it looks ok. That's it. You need more graphics.
