Finally I managed to start the HP. It's still very much under construction (it's my first HP mind you) but it should be smooth sailing from now on, as it's just a matter of keep adding games.

Visit it and tell me what you think of it, and also if I'm missing something I should be adding to it.

I will keep checking this site as you add to it. I have done something similar at www.extra-life.co.uk (but have had no time to update in the last few months due to work ).

Stick a link to it at the top of your GS profile so it's always visible to your blog visitors

You need to add a background.

Looks good to me. I like the coloring markers for 'genre', 'media', etc.
By the way the page being so colorful adds a good Japanese mood - which is good since you're talking only about games released in Japan.

Good Luck!

yeah the picture is from Dynamite Deka. I plan on putting a screen capture of the latest added game.

I never knew about them grabbing the Die Hard licence at the last minute, but then i only ever played it in the arcade and never thought much of it. I will check out your site often though most Japanese named games or anything that never got a uk release won't mean much to me XD

I'm not so fond of black for the background, and the different colors used for text - there are too many of them, one would be enough to highlight certain words. Using bold text instead is another alternative. Subjective complaints.

The index page could look more interesting. There's nothing really wrong with the logo, it serves its purpose - only it doesn't look very eye-catching. That's fine with me - substance is more important. That said, the list of contents could be improved significantly. I really dislike that the images representing genres and players to the right of the links are much bigger than the text. Also It's much more interesting to see what platforms the games are for rather than retail prices, for instance. There's nothing wrong with putting that kind of information up of course, but perhaps it could be put somewhere else, like on the respective game pages. Or platforms could be highlighted instead to stand out more from - what at least I percieve to be - less important information. Just some suggestions. Likewise, there's no need to write "Genre: Action" in text when you have the images representing genres - or vice versa. The list of contents, if anything, should stand out, IMO.

The game articles are the best. They give a very good overview of the games: Many pictures, and a much appreciated focus on the core gameplay. I can't complain here. Again, I don't like the overusage of different colours in the text though.

One major complaint I have is that the japanese brackets are not a good idea to use in combination with latin characters, as it is annoying for people who don't have japanese support installed (I don't in Windows, which I'm using right now.) Using them together with kanji and kana is of course appropriate. If you expect the intended audience to have japanese support installed, then couldn't it at least say so on the index page? The articles are in English, after all, and most people don't have japanese support installed.
