Hi David,

First impressions: looks great! I had thought (after reading 
http://ace-centre.hostinguk.com/index.cfm?pageid=3C7477EE-3048-7290-FEFF8D73FAAB8BF8) 
that the GameOn project would focus on all types of disabilities, so I was a 
bit disappointed that this only concerned (so called) Input Technology 
Accessibility - basically, which games use what kinds of controller. I had 
hoped that the reviews would include information about features within games 
that (accidentally) make them more accessible, such as speed control, 
different colour settings, etc. But maybe that is in the planning?
So, other than that, the website seems very accessible, is very easy to use 
and provides a very clear overview of what's where.

I noticed that most games are already a bit dated. Did I miss the 'new' 
games or did you make a selection of more 'budget' games?

Excellent work!

Greets,

Richard
