Hello everyone!
I just launched a new video game news website over the weekend and would appreciate any tips, suggestions, comments, or feedback anyone would like to offer
I still have a long way to go with it, but I'm hoping that I have a good starting ground and foundation to work with.
Thanks for viewing!

I like that you give readers a choice with the DARK/LIGHT option .. it's much easier to read the white.
There are a few things that you might want to consider ... starting with categories. Already you see that it doesn't fit on the top navigation menu line - because XBox360 is on a second line - and you just started! I think probably good options for the top navigation would be like your iPhone is, with subcategories similar topics .. and keep it pretty basically categorized (like, instead of product types xbox,pc,ps2,etc .. try for social groups like .. online games, social games, reviews, deals, etc)
You can probably clean that up right now because you are new, and re-edit every single post you have and just pick ONE category for each post. I don't think it's necessary to have 3-6 categories for every post .. e.g. I don't have an iPhone and don't like Rock Band .. yet now I have to scroll down past "Rock Band for iPhone" post when i view your Featured category, Reviews category, iPhone game, iPhone Games category .. I would rather see one category - like iPhone and many tags like Rock Band, etc.
PS ,, if you do the above - maybe I won't have to see the same ad on every page like this easycaptures.com/2974001494 and instead you can use the top section in conjunction with the "sensitive tag cloud" wordpress plugin that shows all the tags by separate category only.
That's what I do for my sites - one category per post now - after a ridiculous 37 pages of categories in one of my blog - i set straight on this. The only time I have more than one category, is where the second category is "Featured" and is selected to automatically show up in the sliding plugin at the top of the front page.
