GarageGames Review!

Hey all,
Just thought I'd let you know there's a review of GarageGames.com available on www.techviews.org. It's under Services -> Game Related. Sorry to anyone against self promotion as it is my website.
Hope you enjoy,
Sam.

Looks like a really interesting site. Though, I have to admit that the website itself needs a little bit of work.

Website needs some work. I couldn't get past the Services page, something isn't liking Firefox, and to be completely honest - if Firefox doesn't like it, I don't.

Hey,

You summed up GG pretty well, my only suggestions I would be to make reviews longer... check grammar and spelling (You spelt Independent wrong) on the pages and maybe look at getting a new design up.... (also, you used the old GG logo)


I've setup a gaming site before so I know what it's like to get everything setup and working right.

Good luck with it!

Hey guys,
Thanks for the comments! Lol, I'll look into the independent thing, I'm used to changing alot of spellings around due to national language differences.

@Michael - works fine on my firefox

And the site layout will be updated sometime, I just wanted to create something very low bandwidth

Works fine on my firefox too.

the layout Is a bit hard to look at.

for example, the sidebar -
blue links on grey background are hard to read,
and you should probably make the frame an absolute size instead of proportional,
for people with small windows.


search ? forums ?

Just thought it was funny

Quote:

Spelt:
Etymology: Middle English, from Old English, from Late Latin spelta, of Germanic origin; perhaps akin to Middle High German spelte split piece of wood, Old High German spaltan to split -- more at SPLIT


opps forgot to check the second definition

Chiefly British past and past participle of SPELL

Silly me an my American English

Minor update to the site, new menu. I fixed the spelling mistakes. Any ideas for a new layout? One is currently being worked on, but I want input on what kind of features you guys would be looking for.
I'll list a few of my ideas and you guys can say what you like/dislike:
1. Google/site search
2. A scroller showing gaming/gadget news/site updates
3. A bi-weekly/weekly comic
4. Online gaming events

Feel free to list more ideas, as thats actually what I'd like people to do, as well as give feedback on these ideas, and the current site (www.techviews.org for those of you who wish to be efficient and not scroll to the top)
