    the site is just vector shapes with brushed-on gradients. use a large flat brush in photoshop to paint on a layer of light or dark directly above your shape, then apply your paint layer to the shape layer by alt-clicking between them on the layers palette. looks like some objects have a 1px "bevel & emboss" style applied to them, and some big soft dropshadows. add these in the "blending options" drop-down you get by right-clicking the layer.

    your second example, the player, is basically just objects with a dirty texture thrown over them. build your layout using stock images or 3D renders (for the buttons, etc) and do the rest in photoshop. make sure you get your lighting right, then just filth it up with some stock textures

    • the 3rd, seriously, is just making shapes in PS, blurring, applying textures to them, etc. all hand-done. easy stuff.scarabin
