The idea has already been used and abused. Game reviews are everywhere, and your site has so few you have little credibility in comparison.

Quote:

This website is the #1 resource for game reviews, walkthroughs and cheats or hints.

Outright lies won't help.

As far as design goes... yeah. How much did you pay the 7th grader who made this? Sorry, but sites need more than a table and a few rollovers nowadays, so I would suggest you rethink the look, especially for a gaming site.

Or maybe not - your site could maybe just foward to an actual game review site.

welcome to dt tau.

i can't find a link to any of your content. 'ang on, found it. you've got the visual priority all wrong. the nav looks like a banner ad

the outline font you've chosen for your 'strap' is hard to read at such small size. poeple don't read anything on the internet anyway so you've got to make it a little clearer.

why the double navigation items? submit to this site x 2 affiliate x 2. what are people hitting your site for? cheats and walkthroughs? make it more obvious and put a text link on your home page to these areas. i bet you loose visitors b'cos of it. have a look through your site stats and see where people are leaving (exit pages).

maybe make your text links more obvious - even just undeleline them? i don't like to cursor-crawl site trying to find the links.

good luck. keep it going and see if it grows.

subtract 5 years from the age is usually a good-idea...so he'd be in gr. 8 ... or 9 if he's one of those bastard children that get put into school early

we just don't have to subtract a few years to get our mental ages correct
