This site looks nice. Its just the sidebar looks out of place because it looks like its from IGN. Another thing I have a problem with is that on the side bar there is no link to the Forum. YOu might as well put one there, seriously. Its better than having to look up the the black bar up top.
About the black bar its ugly, I would think you would at least let it match the color scheme of the site. I would suggest you liven it up, because its pretty plain.
Also, I suggest you have a tiny Xbox, GCN, or PS2 symbol by the news in the front page, so people will now for what system the news is for. Another thing is on each console specific page, but a picture of the console on there or at least the console''s symbol or make a color scheme for that page, because I went to the Xbox console thread and I didnt know I had left the main page because they look identical, and please remove that **** newspaper, an Xbox or GCN or PS2 should go there.
Please dont take my comments the wrong way, but I just want the site to be the best.
