The dark design suits the gaming genre better I think. The general structure of the site seems ok to me. What does recent games mean? Is that the games played recently, games reviewed recently, games added recently?
For gaming - something that's high tech - the font choice might make it look a bit dated and thus less modern.
I think it could do with some more whitespace between sections as well - depending on the amount of screen real estate you're allowed to use.
It might be good to list some incentives. Why would I want to review games and share the games I play? Mind you, I'm not a gamer myself so if the ability to do so is enough for your audience it is not a problem.

One small thing that's throwing me off are those yellow-ish dividers: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3l95k8t9rbgo2ul/Screenshot%202014-04-04%2017.54.53.png. Have you tried using a slightly lighter form of the background color instead?
