    Overall, it looks good. I'd think about changing the color scheme to something that pops a bit more. The green looks a bit drab. On the forum, your header background should be white -- which will make your banner/logo look nicer.

    Your Google Ads are showing flush right bottom on the homepage - I'm sure you want those appearing higher on the page in that right column. It's showing this way on Firefox on a Mac.

    Good luck with it! I have my downpayment on an xBox 360 bundle!:D

    Quite a good site, colors are soft and clear. There is room for improvment on the banner I think, you could probably find a better logo. Good luck with your site anyway!

    maybe you could make the underline disapear on links when you hover them so ppl know they are links and not just text.

    I know that mite sound stupid but we have to design for the norm

    Pros:
    Simple layout, easy to follow and understand

    Cons:
    The shade of green in the background, just doesn't say Xbox to me. When a post has long titles they are kind of scrunched up and the font of the subtitle is a little bigger than I would expect. Than the font of the post if very small. The placement of your Google Link Ads is less than optimal.

    Overall:
    Neat site. Needs a little more excitement.
