Definitely an interesting idea. Here's a few things:

- Iterate on the design: I'd start on the color scheme, since it's easy to get right. Resources: http://www.wellstyled.com/tools/colorscheme2/index-en.html http://beta.dailycolorscheme.com/

- Random design tip: Please don't use a grey gradient on everything. It looks like everything has a layer of virtual dust on it. Try black or white, and then tweaking the transparency/opacity of the gradient down to 25-75%.

- Maybe I'm alone, but I never really thought tag clouds were a great data visualization. Regardless, I think another way to explore the games is worth pursuing. Example: http://www.extratasty.com/recipes

All points taken and noted.

Where did you see Grey Gradient? You talking about the voting system?
