    The site is designed well aesthetically, but there may be a few usability issues.

    Most notably, the lack of mouseovers on the site navigation. While the user should know where his or her mouse is, it's always nice to have a little visual cue showing that the site knows where your pointer is too, even if it is just the text getting a few shades darker or lighter.

    On the main navigaion of the page the links "Home" "Movies" "Music" etc should change to a darker grey when moused over and when on that page it could be blue, matching the other blues on your page.

    Having the color on mouse over / hover gives the user another visual clue to click. The blue color for when the user is on a certain section of the site helps the user place themselves in the website. This is mostly important if they get put onto the Games section from a search engine so that they can get their bearings.

    But you need more content to be more interesting site for surfers and bookmarking !!!
    I easy browse your site but found only few pages with information about your products.

    You must start with more usefull information !!!

    Best wishes.

    there was kind of a 10-15 sec delay the first time i clicked on the link. Just saw a blank page and the firefox loading circle on a new tab. Finally, page loaded. I'm on 20mbps connection so don't see that often. Its loading ok now though, even after clearing cache and trying again. Must have been a fluke. That was strange though.

    Hi, some notes from me:
    - page loaded a bit slow, but no big deal. What I got looked nice enough to make up for those few moments :p

    - First thing I noticed was the Joomla fav icon :p You might want to change that into your own icon

    - Looks are good, easy navigation like is said by many of the people before me! :)

    Overall a good clean website, I like it. Maybe it's an idea to add links to websites where you can buy these games you're reviewing?

    Good luck

    Very nice looking, add a detailed description on the purpose of the site. Needs more content. But very well organized. Who designed it?
