Hi just finished those three reviews, so I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions for and review my online gaming site:

Many Thanks

Another Easy to navigate site.
I like the color scheme and the navigation very much.

There is nothing to comment actually.

7/10 Good luck with the site

The colors and the fonts make it an easy site to read. I suggest that the top banner and the logo be changed. They remind me of a retro look, but flash games are anything but retro.

For functionality, it seems like it does really well. Load time was short, and all links worked. I liked the plugin test. I've seen some other games site that would benefit by having that.

It's a nice gaming site. I rate it a 7.5.

The only thing I don't like is that Alien Abduction game. I don't like it, I love it for some reason! And it takes up toooooo much of my time. I refuse to go back there. Well, maybe one more game.

Thanks for your comments, I was thinking about getting the logo professionally done after my attempt (I can't do graphics). That abduction game is pretty good.

Does anyone else want to review it for me?

I like it,

Very simple navigation system, and a simple but effective design. Not too many colours, and the main blue colour is easy on the eyes. I haven't tried the games, but im sure i will, and never get off them just like Dave

Antcity!! I really liked the site. Neat and simple. I expect to revisit often. I guess I have to agree on the logo being out of context. maybe if you just used a different symbol other than the space invaders monster.

I think I'll try to get a new logo then, you are definately right about it, it does look a wee bit out of place.

I liked the ease of use and color scheme on this site a lot. navigation was easy and the use of a key to the symbols made it easy for me to see exactly what was what.

I agree with what has been said about the logo, but your attempt is better than mine have been,....chuckle... I'd give it a 7.5-8.0

Peace,

It needs more punch.

Try thinning out the copy for a start:
"Welcome to GameGarage, a site packed with free online games. Below you can find a selection of the best games from each category. On the left you can use the Games Menu to browse each different category and fulfill your gaming needs. To find out more about this site and how to contact us, there are some links at the bottom of every page."

WHo needs that much text about contact links? You talk more about the site navigation than about the site content.

2/10 - Un-exciting. The subject matter demands a more fun, coulourful design.

I agree as I'm pretty terrible at designing (I prefer programming), but I have to try it as I can't afford to pay people to design it for me.

Just out of interest what sort of colours would be more appropriate?

Who is your sponsor and why should I sponsor him?
Nice clean layout but it's a shame you didn't make more of the CSS and use layers and an accesable font unit.
Comendably (sp?) add free.
Bookmarked - 7/10

Thanks for your comments, I have looked into getting a new logo for the site, and maybe a brighter professionally designed site.

Can anyone recommend a good design company (or individual) who does good sites, at a reasonable price?

I liked the easy navigation and quick load, plus the content.
The coulors are a bit basic and boring and it needs a new logo, but overall I think it's a great site 7/10
