Review Writer: larnau
Writer Website: N/A
Website: RevieGame Dealer X
Review Requested: here door Neorics


First impression:
Game Dealer X is a forum made for online game players or ex-players. Here you can buy, sell, trade and auction online game items and accounts. At first glance, the website looks very cool; the black background creates a mysterious ambiance and its dark allure brings the user deep within the enchantment of the latests video games.

Look and Layout:
In general the layout is nicely presented; the few ads do not interfere with the core business. The logo and beautiful graphic combination on the main header could look awesome, but unfortunately, the site’s name is only partially visible because its color blends with the background.

Staff Arrangements:
The staff page is a nice addition to this site, nicely presented and with plenty of points of contact, that should give a positive impression to the visitor. The Global moderator names could be in a different color, the electric blue against the black background is not easily readable.

Search Engine Optimization:
The Search Engine Optimization looks good.
Although I am not familiar with the Simple Machines Forum engine, I can tell by looking at the URL s, dynamic Keywords and descriptions that the mode installed for Search Engine Optimization is doing a good job.

Guidelines and Rules:
The rules are clearly defined; no one can go wrong if they read them at least once, as nicely required.

Recommendations:
Work on the light and color of the site’s name on the header. Perhaps a different color would make it pop up from the background graphics and create a more interesting effect. As it is now, you can’t tell where you are unless you read through the welcome text or check the url in your browser. (sad)
It’s a bit annoying that every link from the navigation left sidebar opens in a new window; I personally would prefer to see them open in the same window. (But this may be the way it works as default from SMF ?).

Conclusion:
Game Dealer X is a nice site with lots of potential, its founder Neorics and its dedicated team seem determined to make it a successful place.
I would rate it 4/5
