What do you think? Its very simple, what would you recomend to jazz it up a little?

I like it, looks fine as it is tbh. If you do anything more youre in danger of overdoing it id say.

Hmm... I wouldn't jazz it up. I think simplicity says it best.

Although i'm not sure about the stencil look you've given the letters. That style is generally associated with fighting/wars/toxic waste etc. I'm not really sure what I would suggest in place of it, but unless you plan for it to be a fighting game (in which case I'd scrap the sub-title "secrets of atlantis" - it makes it sound too mysterious and adventure-like) try making it look a little less 'blocky'.

Just my two cents, but apart from that, I think it looks great and very atmospheric

EDIT: Hm... I'm beginning to change my mind. The more I look at it, the more I like it. I still don't know if I'm ready to remove my comments yet, because I still think it conjures an image of war, but by tomorrow I'll probably have changed my mind :D You are lucky I'm so easily manipulated ;)

I think looks great, nice high tech tho with those jittery things in "secret of atlantis" And with those lights comming from "atlantis". Reminds me of a sci-fi movie poster or something.

I think it looks great!! But I agree with Peter's comments, the Bermuda bit does make it seem like it would involve war or something, maybe the Bermuda bit would look better with the font you are using in you sig (the Atlantis font) that would look better in my opinion

I just messed around with it a little, made the bermuda stand out a little more and changed the atlantis part. But I think I liked the original better.

I like the way you've made the subtitle look like it's floating, or suspended in water or riding a wave or something. I don't really see any difference to the word Bermuda, though.

Maybe I'm just dumb...

Instead of choosing the font, try editing the drawing itself more.

example:

Use a combination of effects.

jetxl.. that just looks filter whored, imo.. not a good thing.
i prefer the original better. simplicity is the key.. or something. also, the font Opo used for, "Secrets of Atlantis" is more readable, i like it more.

Of course it's filter whored. That the whole point. I have no idea how I got that gold edge. I used edge-finder, I think.
Less is more, but that subtitle look just boring.

I very much prefer the one in your sig to the one you posted.  The light projection isn't really great for a logo, it is distracting.  You might want to think about using a font that is more reminiscent of ancient writing, such as Papyrus or Samarkain, rather than Stencil.  Then the subtitle would be less boring in contrast.
