The logo is big an bold and that's a good thing. However, the background isn't doing its share of the work. I think you either need to find a patern that leads the eye to the center or add a graphic element that helps to anchor the logo and make it the focus of attention.

I'm personally not fond of the game characters.  For some reason I see your logo sitting on the CPO art from Tempest; here's a quick and dirty mockup of that:

I agree with Chris, game characters was not what I had in mind - I was suggesting a simple graphic element like an oval or a bar.
