My website contains a lot of code I've made when I was less experienced and lot's of copied code. The HTML may look stupid in areas. My chatbot system is going though a database problem at the moment(My fault) but forget that. What do you think to www.godofgod.co.uk?
The design is just, well, weird.:o It looks like something for a preschool site. Is this a theme of one of the games you discuss? You might make it more apparent, if so. Also "god of god" -- is this a Biblical reference, or another game reference? Uneducated ("the great Un-Gamed") people like me may not catch the reference, either way, given your content's focus. With a name like "God of God," a lot of people looking for religious websites are going to be directed here.....
Good Luck :)

"You are able to read and submit articles, videos, games, animations and polls. This is the website you create!"
The purpose of the website isn't very clear.... a user should know what a website's purpose is within the first 4 seconds of being there. Maybe you could use a tag line underneath the www.godofgod.co.uk in the banner to clarify what your site is.
You should also have a 'home' link. I understand that the banner acts as a link to the home page, but this should be more apparent. Users tend to rely on a home link as a reference point.
Also, links don't change at all when the user hovers over them. You should try to either change the color, or underline links on mouse over to better define them.
I don't know how I feel about the blue background (#4C94FF)... the bright color attributes to the 'preschool' feel of the site.
You also don't have a doctype (http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/) - one of the most important elements in HTML.
Once you add a doctype, you can start fixing the numerous html errors (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.godofgod.co.uk%2F). These errors are probably the reason the site looks different in different browsers.
To point out a few errors:
there are no </img> or </input> tags.
there are no units in html (only css):
<img src='http://www.godofgod.co.uk/content.jpg' alt="Content" width=100px height=25px></img>
should be:
<img src="http://www.godofgod.co.uk/content.jpg" alt="Content" width="100" height="25"></img>
and you have tons of </b>'s without an opening <b>:
<a href="http://godofgod.co.uk/frd/archives/38">HAZE until August?</a></b>
Fixing these errors can improve cross-browser consistency.
It looks good, but can use some fixing-up... good luck with it.
