Hi guys,
I've designed this new website, its a large (400+) database of freeware/indie free to play games with direct download links, they are all free, legal, ad free, and most come close to big studio/publisher standards, in fact some are even big publisher games released as freeware. The site also allows anyone to add games, artwork, reviews and ratings. Just wanted to get some feedback on the looks, usability and your general opinions about it.

Thanks :)

Great site, you could slightly improve it by not having a background image of non-free games. Still a really good site and nice job adding Linux as well, the very first one ) A.D looks fairly good and I will definitely try it out.

Thanks for the info. Like JohnF11 posted, I would recommend you change the background. By no means SC2, Quake 3 and many of those games are free.

Yeah, thats a reminant from my older site I copied the design style from, I'll replace it with a similar picture with free game covers. What about the functionality, did anyone have trouble say registering or adding games or anything like that?

Not a huge fan of the game boxes in the background... I think you should go for a easier design for the eye... Keep it simple yet stylish.

Cant comment on the other things... Did not register did a search and it looks like its working as it should.

How about just leaving it with a plain, grey background? It's probably simpler and tidier, and much nicer to look at

Nice site, Oh C&C Tiberian Sun....

I would love to play through that again, but now I have a dedicated GPU.

This makes the game run dirt slow when you build anything, because that shadow clock hourglass, that appears overlaid, on the unit you are building, kills the performance.

I bookedmarked the site, nice job!

I'm impressed, good job :)

You might want to skim through Gamershell for more free games if you havn't already.
