    The overall design:
    I like the look of it, but that grey background doesn't make the page look as attractive as it could. It makes it look a bit... dull. In fact, if you made all of the colours a bit more vibrant it'd do wonders for the page, imo. Latest News: Blue Tea Games website has been remodeled. Also, you have a few different fonts being used under 'Latest News' for no apparent reason.

    Navigation Ease:
    Good... nice and simple. I got a bit confused by the blue highlighting of words though, which I thought were links. (What is Cactus Bruce? paragraph- home page)

    Flow of information:
    Nothing spectacular, but it all flowed quite well.

    I`d suggest not using pitch black for the background color around the frames (if that makes any sense - use some really dark shade of blue, it`ll fit much better with design.
    Other than that - its simple yet easily understandable and has nice consistent colors (apart from the black thingie)

    yes, definitely make the colors much brighter and vibrant. the design is nice, but it's just too dark for a "fun" / games website IMHO. I suggest:

    1) Make the blue brighter/more saturated
    2) Change the black background to something lighter
    3) Change the content background from gray to white (or at least something brighter than that shade of gray)

    Everything else looks real nice. Good job.

    I would also change the fonts from comic sans MS and Adventure to something else. I think it's nice otherwise, very clear.

    Looks good for the most part.

    The rounded corners can be improved with 2minutes work. See here:
    http://www.alistapart.com/articles/mountaintop/ (figure 3)

    Fonts are a bit mixed up and there are too many. "One ton power!" for example seems to be using the default font and the headline on the about page is another font. The gamesbanner ad on that page is also quite off.

    Highlighting the links also highlights the lines between em (or not). Highlighting the about link produces some a ghost line (it's the usual glow but it's shifted to the right by some pixels).

    It's unexpected that the download link in the top nav directly links to an exe.

    Screenshot thumbnails aren't linked to bigger versions.

    Download size, price and facts (like system requirements) are missing.

    >2) Change the black background to something lighter

    Second that. It feels pretty dark.

    The banner at the top is missing a little something, I can't quite put my finger on it, but it looks a little bland, having said that, every time I see Cactus Bruce it makes me chuckle

    In "What is Cactus Bruce" 'windows' should be capitalized. You could change "download the addictive little game" to "download this addictive little game".

    In "The Story" 'inhabitant' should be plural. "driven out in their scheme" should be "driven out in the Hoolabanger Corp's scheme" since it's unclear whose scheme it is.

    And while I'm on it, "high rated awards" could become "high ratings and awards" or even "numerous accolades and awards".
