Here's the one I'll be using (work in progress).  The game names appear over the map on the right.

That looks pretty cool.  I use the original layout that you made without the screenshot modification.

On mine I have the sceenshots showing when scrolling and for about half a second when I pause over it, then the video clicks on.  Any reason not to do this? 

Also, why not show the title screen or marquee since the videos are so much more impressive than the screenshots.

Still only new to mala and still playing around
was just testing out what could be done with current available layouts and interested in what others have done.
Gonna play around a little more and maybe just leave vids and marques on the current one instead of screen shots and vids

As soon as I finish one I get sick of it and build another.  Here's what I'm currently playing with:

I use a simple Centipede-themed layout I made.   This was a shot from the first version - I have since fixed font-size a bit and a couple of other things, however it's essentially the same.  Oh and the Yahoo! Widgets sidebar crept into the picture, and it's not usually present.

That's awesome..  I would alter the spacing on the title and lower instruction elements a bit, but you really took your theme home!
