Re: Gaming website critique...
Very nice design! However the navigation takes up too much of the page. i.e when I go to medals, most of the page is still the navigation, this should be less obvious when a user goes to a page.
Did you use Actionscript 3?

Though I'm generally not fond of flash sites, this one is high quality indeed. I have a couple of remarks though:
- In the opening page, I had to look around for the navigation. It is not clear enough that those are links, as they look the same as the text above.
- The site has music, which is generally not recommended. I hate going into a site while browing in a public place or at work and have it start making noise. You should allow to turn off the music (and put it in an obvious place), and also to opt out of sound before entering the site (in the opening page).
- You could have the content in HTML so it could be indexed by google, if that's a concern for you. At the very least, allow text to be selected and copied. Generally when using flash, try as much as you can to retain the original functionality of the browser (right click, mouse cursor etc.).
Other than that looks very good, nice work.
