Very nice and uncluttered. I think its a good idea to keep the front page concise and simple. Having events on front page is another very good addition since it means players don't have to dig into the forums to know something is going on. Other than adding links to player tools, forum, and support/account stuff i think its a good idea to make the site user friendly for people browsing on tablets. People will be 'shopping' for games on mobile before downloading and installing on desktop.
Sceenshots are a cool idea for the slideshow. As long as you have some pics showing actual ingame views then it should be ok. Every game website out there has fashioned their pics into hyperrealism, whether photoshop or development machines, but don't set people up for too high expectations. Provide a page of screenshots or something.
