I'll explain how to make a nice text effect. No pictures tho but its so easy to make:)

First open a new document in photoshop, and make it black . Take a basic font, let say Arial and take a size of 24. Now just type something, like RAGEZONE for example, or withouit the capitals, doesn't matter. Make the color light-greenish.

Now you go to: Layers->Layer Options->Blending Options. Once there choose Drop Shadow, and leave everything to its default.

Now you choose Outer Glow and change the following settings:

Where it sais screen, you click the drop list and select Normal, and you change the yellow color to #FFFFFF (white).

Do the same for Inner Glow.

Now go to Gradient Overlay. Leave everything to its default, exept the color's. Change the most left color to #021400 and the most right color to #a0fa00

Almost done. Now go to Stroke and make it ... lets say 2pixels. Again choose the color #FFFFFF (white).

Now just press OK and your done :)

Edit: It should look like this: (look attachement)
