Default XGenGamers.com

<a href="http://www.xgengamers.com" target="_blank">http://www.xgengamers.com</a>

Mostly a Xbox 360 based website but we dip into other consoles and devices. We also hold tournaments for Halo 2, Gears of War, Rainbow 6, and soon to be Halo 3.

Very nice custom layout! The greys/greens go really well together and it is very easy to read.

Make your adsense on the RHS blend into the page more perhaps.. Its sort of out of the way and no one is going to look there anyway.

Custom logos look ace too. I'm not sure what else I would fix up. Only part I don't like is how far you have to scroll to view the forums!

I like this! Color Scheme could be better. Just too bright with not much charisma. Too much clutter. Its organized well just needs a little cleaning.

Take the orange advertising off. Only allow paid advertisements. Users know a cheap site when they see it. If you clutter the site with garbage they will think your site IS!

ok let me tell you what i think .

For a Gamers site, i would expect more, example my site, which is not gamers ,but graphic ( www.xtrato.org ) , but you know what i mean , your site is an X-Box site, which i think you can do , or find something Much better based on X-Box, the X alone can do a lot on your site, not to mention the logo for X-Box , halo etc...

The header is not working for me, you got a good concept, but, flash would have been better there, and the non -expanding header doesnt go with the site when you try to view large , big topics, pics etc..

your postbit, i saw you have what mos X-box sites have, the tag, and other things.

well i would suggest to use the regular post bit, instead of legendary, why? would save you a lot of space , vs the legend postbit for those ," Thank you" posts , or "wow superlmao" ,im sure you know where i come from.

I hope my C & C helps you out, if not , im always here to help out.

Layout doesnt seem to custom -.- looks like most other xbox gaming sites.

i recommend allowing guests to view posts.. other wise the site will just become dead, as google/other sites won't beable to pick up content.
