    Game-Review.ca Reviews Welcome

    Ok so Game-Reviews.ca. I spent about 2hours on the design and all of the code. Give or take 10mins. Open to comments.

    It is by no means a genius masterpiece so go easy on me but for the 2hours i spent i am very pleased with it.

    Wow, I love the header! As you scroll down the page though, it looks a little dull considering the type of site. Just something to think about. But the site looks like it'll be great!

    If you don't mind me asking, how much is your movie site generating in terms of revenue? I'm obviously not looking for figures. But in general considering the time you're putting in to it, is it paying off?

    hmm you are right Chromate, any suggestions? I didnt want to clutter it to much either. The image on the top right is random in case nobody noticed :P

    Thanks. The concept is similar, that is for sure. I took my movie database and did everything i did wrong, right on the game site.

    I edited my last comment, pls check

    Ermmm... Perhaps give the background of the area around the main content box a colour instead of white.

    chromate, i will tinker with the idea of doing a different color.

    As for the movie site i rather not discuss numbers in public. But you can ask me on MSN anytime

    I probly invest about an hour a day into the site, and its by no means tedious work. The news all comes from my contacts at studios, writers, directors etc. My hour a day is spent answering emails, posting, etc. Not tough stuff.

    I honestly don't like the gradient in the header; but that's alright.

    I really like your top navigation.

    Kinda dislike the super-thick dashed borders.

    Love your slogan

    Add some more graphics, and colors, and you'll be set.
    Use yellow more in the page; give it a color scheme.

    lol, yeah you either love it or hate it.

    I really like your top navigation.
    Wanted the text, wanted simple. So just went with some yellow text. Easy. 5second menu.

    Kinda dislike the super-thick dashed borders.
    Im with you, I kinda liked the thin, kinda liked the thicker, so i went with thicker. Especiallly since Fire Fox doesnt show em how i like it anyways

    Love your slogan
    Slogan is hilarious, a buddy of mine came up with 5 or 6.

    Add some more graphics, and colors, and you'll be set. Use yellow more in the page; give it a color scheme.
    I hate pages that are cram packed full of color, flashing gizmos, etc. (dont go looking at Moviesonline or your gonna really laugh now)

    In all seriousness I agree, just not sure WHERE to do it without taking away from my clean formatted look. My "newspaper" approach.

    Nice slogan too, but some pedantic people may prefer a comma in there? 'When the aliens get round to killing us, a joypad may just save you'

    Very nice site though, should get a good amount of regular visitors, will you be updating the news personally, or is it some kind of feed from somewhere?

    Very impressive! I like the whole concept of the site. If you could alternate the table background for each entry, with whte/light gray, I think it would break it up soft enough for readability.

    A+

    great idea Gtech, I do like that idea i will have to play with it a bit. And r2d2, grammar is not my forte, can you tell?

    The news on the site is from my own writers.. I have my own rss feed that i supply to other sites.

    Apologies: I didn't mean make this, I just meant that you need a splash of color; just add yellow into the layout more--I say this, cause you've already used it in the top navigation. Like maybe in headers, and stuff.

    And you know "git" means an idiot, or contemptable person, right?

    PS for borders just use [ border: 4px dashed #D4D0C8; ] --looking at your code, I can't figure it out, though; usually styles are just defined in the head of the document.
