I like the javascripted floating navigation menu. Which helps a user lot for your long home page. I have few suggestions to improve look and feel of your site.
Very dark blue and black text on it is not good. On featured content, make hyperlinks below images.

I'd get rid of the iframes and give it a cleaner, easily navigated design.

**camp185** · 09-29-2006, 02:20 PM

uh...like game sites. I would listen to advice above, and get rid of those iframes. I would work making everything as simple as possible. Remove extra tables or whatever. You can do wonders with simple paragraph breaks. <p></p>

ok thanks. I really cant tell the colors arnt good because my monitor's gama is way to low and its as high as it goes. I got something i thought worked but it makes my screen look wased out so i cant see colors well. Thanks

Afraid I can't say anything good about the site.. it's a mess visually, disorganized and the colors are WAY too LOUD.

what are you talking about? theres 2 basic colors, blue and white. its not a "visual mess" from what my streaming audience has said. There's no way its disorganized either. Its got news, then Featured items. The only thing im wondering now is whats your browser? Its designed for IE and firefox, so if you have Opera or something then i could explain your reveiw... otherwise nothing

I use Firefox, latest version.

You've got this HUGE white space above your screaming blue header. That screaming blue is borderline offensive to the eyes. Then you have the ad space jammed in underneath it .. and it LOOKS jammed in. Then you have your 'news' section between the blue bars, which also looks jammed in under the ads, maybe even overlapping a bit.

The left side column is WAAAAAAY down below your center section (in IE AND FF). When the following menu floats down there (it's a tired old javascript trick by the way), it overlaps your left column.

Everything in the middle area is centered, and since all those boxes (ads news, header) are different sizes, it looks messy, disorganized. The captions alongside the graphic thumbnails, makes it look messy too. Better to have the title/description above or below the thumbnail and have the boxes a uniform size.

VISUALLY, by all design standards, the site is a mess. Your left column is virtually invisible. The title in the header might be clever graphically, but it's not very readable.

I'm sorry if this hurts your feelings, but from a design perspective, it's just not good. From a coding persepctive, it's got old tired deprecated html. The page looks like something from 10 years ago.

like my other reviews, I keep on stressing.. that any sites, should be filled up with content and good color scheme.. this site also lacks content.. and lots of free spacing.with unpleasant color schemes..

Blank space isnt that big, but its caused by the navi menu (only in monzilla).
The ad doesnt really fit in anywhere and im going to eventually put it in the bottom or something. Your the only person who doesnt like the design. I've told friends about it who like the blue color. Its supposed to be relaxing and welcoming. it may not even look as relaxing in monzilla because you cant see the blue scrolling bar.

the person who said there's "No content" should maybe look around more or look up the definition of content. Theres 600+ games around 20 - 30 movies, and soon 150 jokes that will keep on adding up.

It's MOZILLA - has no 'n' in it at all. If you design so that your site ONLY looks 'good' in IE, you are alienating a good percentage of other non-IE users.

The big blank space is NOT only in MOZILLA. If there are glaring differences it's because of your coding. Done properly the differences would be miniscule instead of glaring. Screaming blue and white is not 'relaxing'. Maybe you should look for some color theory articles. Blue scroll bar ?? Sorry, but changing the color of the scollbars is not a design element. At least you fixed the left side column, but your floating menu still overlaps it.

I give my reviews from a professional point of view, including web standards and design standards.

i dont care how mozilla is spelled, you got the point. I'm not alienating anyone because I designed it in mozilla. The big blank space, like i said before, i can't do anything about it, its because the floating menu originates in that gap.
I cant say i agree with the "screaming blue," I like the color. I also disagree about the blue scroll bar being a design element, its something that can make the page look better (like black background with red scroll bar). The floating menu overlapping the left column will stay the same, I will just change the ad placement from the left to the right and from the header to the footer.

You asked for a review, how is anybody meant to help if you just blatenly ignore their comments and argue with them?

**naramuk** · 10-03-2006, 12:46 PM

yoursite is some wat cramped..... try to arrange all in good.... and use some level of colours....

**boredportal** · 10-05-2006, 03:51 PM

*bumps up to top*
i need more reveiws please?

**bizops** · 10-06-2006, 04:26 AM

Don't really like the black text on blue... very hard to read. Also, what is the deal with the large amount of white space above the site banner? Or is it my computer not showing the site properly?

**rockout** · 10-06-2006, 11:04 PM

i like it. lots of games
