Nice looking splash page, just a few comments on it: the
person in the logo looks disjointed to me (took me a bit
to realize the hands were connected to the face. Perhaps
if the face was looking towards us?). Also, the PS logo is
very saturated colors compared to the rest of the page.
Not sure how much you can change that, with it being a
logo, but it seemed out of place with the
dusty-almost-monotones of the rest of the page. Also on
the splash page, I would have a note for people using
older browsers about why it is isn't working. (Requires
javascript, 4.0, whatever.) And at least a link to contact
the makers with comments even if they can't get past this
window.

Now, onto the real site. Overall, it was quick loading.
However, the last thing to load was the title bar, so i
spent many seconds just seeing the nav and the text.
Seemed to be missing something, and it was. :) Have you
considered preloading some images along with the entrance
page?

I don't read Czech, and I don't use Playstation so I can't
really comment on any of that. I don't know what
significance the person underneath the nav bar has, but
that could certainly just be me. I keep thinking Olympics,
with the all the rings and the person appearing to the
finishing a race or something. Anyways...

The Kontakt nav button. I am personally bothered by any
site which pops up the Mail window (or worse, on NN
without Messenger, nothing happens) without letting me
know. If the linked text is an email address or if I can
see the status bar then I know. When it just looks like
another section of the site, I don't. Why not have a form
for people to comment with? Also, why not have a status
bar? I know I am not the only person who likes to have that.

The pages were very quick to load, good job. Databaze,
Database? the link says one, the title image says another. 

Some consistency on the heading images and layout of the
internal pages would be nice. "Top Secret" has bright
yellow links and no title, etc. Actually, I guess they all
have bright yellow links. Hmm, that looks out of place to
me. I thought the orangish things were links at first.

That's all for now, let us know when you've made some
changes,

Luke
