I thought long and hard about the first post that I would make for Take 9 and finally decided to let you get a glimpse of what this website will be about, what you can expect from us and the goals that we have for the website.
Take 9 is a website about games. It will not be your usual games site though because we thought that it would be fine if we could post anything we want as long as it is gaming related. Be prepared for game reviews, videos, tons of free games, browser games, screenshots, lots of fun especially about the latest video game movies that hit the cinemas, and everything else that we can think of.
We do not care about companies, brands or video game systems. If a game is good it is good, no matter when or for which system it was released. Yes that includes weird Japanese video games that no one understands but also famous C-64 and Atari 2600 games. Everything we like will be in.
We are definitely looking for as much feedback as possible. If you have anything to say do so, let your voice be heard. Be prepared, we are on fire.
I liked the header image, but you could reduce the header height by making the top margin smaller so that there’s no big gap between top and the image.
Also, the sidebar headers aren’t particularly good (not enough contrast between text and background), though everything else looks fine.
Finally, the footer doesn’t need the striped background - it looks ugly.
Looking forward to reviews of Alan Wake, RE5 and Fallout
