Not bad for a first attempt. The strongest thing you have going for you is a pretty good use of color composition. It's a little dark, but, color composition is very difficult to master and you have a good start with that. As far as suggested improvements, lose the frames. They're not widely used anymore and can be very frustrating. As for the buttons, think about using images as buttons and incorporating dreamweaver rollovers; it would look more attractive than the html, underlined links in my opinion. The main graphics need to be anti-aliased and made to fit the size specifications; in other words, its way too pixelated. The "open gl" and "revenant" are not laid out properly; the flow of the title bar is confusing and not smooth. Also, it's not apparent from the way you laid out the title bar as to what is your site's name or title. This is where varying font sizes come into play. As far as fonts go, experiment with different fonts but don't use more than 2 throughout the entire site. From a visual standpoint, keep in mind that those yahoo ad's in the right frame take away from the aesthetic of your site because it goes against the color scheme of the rest of your site. Overall, not a bad first attempt.

As far as flash goes, you can place a flash file on a layer in dreamweaver but use a loading scene while the movie loads. You're graphics are small enough that you might be able to do the whole site in flash without the download time being too large. As far as books on flash and tutorials, try www.flashkit.com ; its a flash forum for flash users of all skill levels. As far as books go, there's a lot out there. I'm afraid you'll have to do some legwork to find what book fits your skill level and needs.
