Looking for opinions on my site.
http://www.blvdknights.net/mysite/index.htm
I have more than this done, but in order to not waste bandwith I only uploaded a portion of it. Im hosting it on my other site, just to get opinions and show a few friends. Also youll notice some blank areas on each page, I edited out the name of the site. It took me forever to come up with it and It's perfect and I would hate to loose it .
The Beta's and free trials arn't uploaded but the main pages for each are. You can get a good impression on how they will look from the Fully free games which are uploaded.
Im still pretty new to making websites, Ive actually only made one other site (blvdknights.net) for a friend of mine. so im happy for any and all critisism, im excited about this one, its the first one Im able to do what I want on without having to check with someone to make sure theyre ok with it
To me the site doesnt look too great, Ive been working on it here and there every other week for 6 months or so but recently ive been more dedicated to it now that its coming together, Im hoping to get hosted and its own domain etc soon so I figured its time to get some opinions to make sure I dont miss anything too critical before its too late
Thanks for any opinions.

Needs more content, before I can really tell anything about it.

Thanks for opinions, I have more than this done but I only uploaded a partial amount of it, mostly just more games added though. In order to save bandwith. Im loving the site, but I'm doing it all alone and cant sit in one place doing one repetitive thing for long without getting bored, so I usually do a game or two here and there. Itll get done one of these years at this pace

Hi Wonka,
mmorpg's are my passion although I'm not subscribed to one atm, I run a guild website which is home to a couple of guilds.
I can live with the black sites, I don't know why game sites a mostly black its a mystery to me. the orange is readable and firey so thats okay.
I think you're off to a good start, I can't say much more because you have little or no content, but if you get some sort of game voting / review thing going and a community who knows. you're competing with betawatcher which is a site I like.

Wow, I honestly thought I had seen all of the General MMO websites out there but I have never seen betawatcher.. I could never do anything that nice. That's a little discouraging lol. I excpected sites like MMORPG.com and Onrpg.com to be my competition, Ive never been a huge fan of those, and figured there would be room for me too
. Ill have to keep trying to think of things to seperate myself from those people.
Thank you for the comments. I'll definatly take all that into consideration, I have more contect added, but all of the other games will be very similar to the Free games, which are mostly added. My host is a site I run for a friend, so I didnt want to upload it all to use up his bandwith.
I went with black because I've allways liked the dark layouts and I've tried making lighter colored sites but I've never been able to make one that I thought looked nice enough. I kinda liked the color scheme, I thought it was unique, but to be honest I havnt really tried many others, I definatly will now though.

Dark sites seems to be the thing for gaming sites.
I take it your site name will be in the top banner.
I think the red text is to much thou, I originally was going to suggest red heading and yellow text but that could be worse, I suppose a lot depends on the images etc of the games you add, a bit of white would help liven it up some but maybe green (light) or blue (light).
I wouldn't use the same colour for text and links, gets to confusing for first timers.
