| [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]The blue theme of the forum works well, and it's good to see you haven't deviated from this throughout. However, there are a few instant niggles I have, the first of which is the banner. The banner art is fine, though too tall and not wide enough. Give your forum a fixed width instead of percentage width and create a banner that will fit the forum lengthways. I try and aim for no larger than 200px high images otherwise they mean you have to keep scrolling down to be able to see the forum content.
Next up are the forum icons. They look to me as if they have been taken from an Assassin's Creed theme as they're the animus logo. What about replacing them with something more gaming-universal, like a console controller?
In general, the forum is quite smooth-looking and I don't really have any other complaints aside from that the 'who is online' image doesn't fit the gaming theme. I would recommend removing the spam forum though as it generates a whole lot of nothing for the forum and makes it look tatty. Additionally, what you could do for each forum is to create small images (200 wide, 50 high?) that show you the content within, or for the most popular games? This will give it a bit more of an 'eye candy' look to it seeing as how the forum is quite dark at the moment. Also, I'd hide the inactive forums until the site becomes more active.
In general, the forum's not bad. If you wanted to improve it even further, I'd try to proofread everything and make it higher-quality through the use of custom codes and images.
Best of luck with winning!
