Your Forum Review
First Impressions & Appearance
On first entering your forum I liked the the over-all look and layout. The logo fits well with your theme and is nicely made, the only criticism is that the logo it's self needs centring and wording could be centred between the images more evenly, it leans towards the left image more so. The extra themes are an added bonus but I do like the blue default one the best. The homepage is not cluttered and the navigation bar is simple but elegant. The theme is very nice and compliments the genre of the forum well. Your descriptions explain each section well enough without going overboard.

Site Layout
The layout seems fine, you have a good coverage of the topics that you would expect to see on a gaming forum and don't appear to have gone too over the top which is always nice to see. I especially like the Gamer's Hangout section, it's laid back and exactly how I'd image a group of people sitting around a console chatting would sound. You can tell it works well as the General Discussion section does not get over used

Statistics and Activity
Your forum has been officially open for 17 days. You have 543 posts in 141 topics made by 25 members. Activity seems good for the short time you have been open, your members have done well to post but it would be nice to see more members starting threads themselves now. One fifth of your registered members have not posted anything yet. You might want to look at ways to encourage them a little more.

Staff Moderation
As there appears to be only you as a staff member on the forum at this moment there's not really much to say. I would possibly suggest you recruit one more member for now just to give you the extra support but I don't feel you need any more right now. It makes a refreshing change to see that you haven't promoted lots of members to staff already as you obviously don't need them just now and it gives you time to figure out who might make a good staff member in the future.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism
From what I see you have a good use of spelling, punctuation and grammar, I don't see any obvious mistakes, everything is descriptive enough and you don't ramble on. Your descriptions have a laid back feel rather than a stuffy one, this may not come across as overly professional but I think it's fits with your genre.

Things to Improve
I'd like to see your logo centred up better and for your members to start more threads themselves.
