		<description>The design is great, but I have a few comments.

The header is toooo big for people with a screen of 1280px - 768px.

 The only thing which is visible then is the title and 3 sentences. That is really not enough. Especially not for the new visitors. 
Because you have to convert them still into fans of the site. 

Now the new visitors don&#039;t immidiatly know what the topic is and where the topic is when they search for it via Google.

Also there is not enough visible from the menu.

Conclusion:
A to big header will hurt your number of visitors and the average time a  visitor spend on you site.

Tip:
A big change that you already know this one but a good resource for free games is http://www.yoyogames.com/</description>

		<description>Some very good remarks so far. I will definitely add more game information to the articles, that&#039;s a great idea. 

Asher I surely will review a lot of independent games as well as online games. 

Dante it probably would bring in more money and I could sell them  via affiliate links on the blog but I prefer to do a good free games blog. So, free is the way to go. Not saying that I won&#039;t review a commercial game every know and then though but I have to like it ;)</description>

		<description>I&#039;d love it if you also had a great deal of emphasis on indi games that don&#039;t get much coverage ie: ROM check fail</description>

		<description>Congratulations! Nicely done. I&#039;ll be coming back for more.

I did like your current reviews, but I don&#039;t want to address your content, just the format.

Before I spend time reading any review, I like to know the basics of the application/game. If it doesn&#039;t fit my system (or taste), I can skip reading the details and move on.

So, under the title of the article, I would like to see a subheading which lists particulars of the game, v.g., type (rpg, fps, etc.), single/mutiplayer, online/offline, platforms supported, size, memory/video requirements. 

And, a comment on the site&#039;s title graphic: I am happy with the artwork, but my immediate impression was, &quot;This looks like Halloween.&quot; I&#039;d like to see a graphic that evokes something less specific. Perhaps a montage of elements from different types of games: an elf, a pistol, a tetris block, a deck of cards, a kungfu kicker, a puzzle piece... you get the idea.

Thanks.</description>

		<description>The Giveawayoftheday currently have SnapLogger.  This will allow you to record your screen as a movie.  Will make it easier to post screenshots or short clips of the game you&#039;re reviewing.

Also, would reviewing big mainstream games bring in more money?  Although it will be a lot more competition and time spent in play/testing those games.</description>

		<description>Wow, that&#039;s a remarkable piece of work Martin. I&#039;m not much of a gamer myself, I actually seldom play any other games than my favorite MMO but I might be still interested in the articles there, they look very good so far. 

The design is quite decent, though I would personally prefer a brighter layout with less graves, crosses and stuff with a bit more emphasis on the logo (a more sophisticated font or so) but that&#039;s just my point of view and I do get the idea of making it look a bit mysterious. I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll pimp up the behavior of sidelinks a bit later on and maybe even add some variety to the background like some grunge elements (or stripes, lol) but that&#039;s just minor details. Content plays the prime role and I&#039;m sure it&#039;s gonna be worth reading.

Like I said, I don&#039;t play frequently but I&#039;ve fallen in love with a great MMO that I&#039;ve played for like 2 years already and I&#039;d love to spread the word about it and contribute by writing a detailed review of at least this particular game later on. I&#039;m sure many readers might come to love it just as I did.

Are you planning to write about more complex games that require more time for building characters etc. or just that kind of rest-break mini-games?

Either way, good luck to your next project and many happy readers just like here :)</description>
