Overall, I would say not bad. But you do have plenty of room for improvement.

Firstly, I want to tackle the issue of adverts. Whilst they are very useful for generating revenue, this isn't what your site should be about. Every gaming site I have come across (specifically flash games) throws hundreds of text adverts and banners, etc at you. It really annoys me and just makes me close the page. Although you're not at that stage, it looks as though it could quite easily go that way.

What I propose is that you remove adverts from the header area, and create a sidebar with ONE set of adverts (AdSense, or whatever) and ONE near the footer. People are less likely to be annoyed and more likely to click them. They're also more likely to return to your site in the future (more clicks possible).

The menu just below the header looks like it's part of the adsense and not a menu. It confused me first time round. Your menu shouldn't be the main attraction, but it should certainly stand out from the rest of the site, so that people recognise it as the menu.

I suggest sprucing up the menu a:hover aswell, so that the user knows they are actually hovering over it (and to make it look a bit more 'flashy').

"Best flash games" looks out of place and line with the rest of the design. This is basically either because of CSS or Table problems. I suggest you sort out the alignment.

I like the Kids Corner idea and the link position. However, make it look appealing to kids. Make it stand out (not tacky neither).

Organise your front page a little better. Take examples of layout and structure from other gaming sites.

I think you need to improve your strengths with a graphics editor (Fireworks, Photoshop, GIMP, etc).

I wish you good luck and hope that your site turns out well.

the site look ok but add some more new games cz most site has the same games because of that you may wont get large traffic. you also can re-design the template. also place the google ads in prefact locations. other than site look nice.

good luck m8.

Brian what is your plan to get people to the site???????
Great site I would add a free game to play. Maybe something like
FREE GAME PLAY window then get their name first and last and an email address.
Trust me on this that list you build is solid gold.

well ... how do I see this site's layout:

First of all ... I would prefere that logo without the shadow .. in order to make it more professional.

The page's width is too little .. I mean you can try to implement a liquid design that resisez automatically in function of the screen resolution that the user have.

About the navigation:

Try to use icons man .. and more friendly buttons.

I'll tell you my feeling when I first saw your site: entered it and .. I'm kinda confused. Every site visitor wants to have the feeling that he is in CONTROL there And on your site there is no such feeling. I see tons of games thumbnails that I dont know from which game category are .. and .. on the first page I think that you have to put games genders rather than games thumbs .. do it like a classifieds site: a small thumb with a generic game from that games category + some description of the category + on the top of these the title of the category with a bigger font.

Hope that I was helpful ..
