HTML & CSS - Issue with inline-block elements

Question

I've made a website where on the main div, multiple div's are displayed ( as inline-element's ) , those div's are containing an IMG and P element.

Well, if I leave the P element ( or text without p tag ), everything is ok, but if I add text after the img, the coresponding div will get out of the normal position.

The page is online at http://ace-acid.no-ip.org/acid-game-studios/ ( that is the working version )

And this one is the version with the problem in it -> http://ace-acid.no-ip.org/acid-game-studios-issue/ ( here you can clearly see that all the div's that have no text in it, are spaced downside... )

How can i prevent this behaviour ?

Thank you all guys ^^

< EDIT >

I think it's an css issue ( block element , inline-block element, fextflow, vertical align , ... ) isn't it ?

b.t.w. -> the website is a fluid grid based one, so if you scale down the browser, it will show a tabled and a mobile version. the problem seems to only apear in the same row where the text is, because in the next row, the div-blocks aren't spaced down...

Use vertical-align: top; on .div_game_thumb

Inline elements obey to vertical alignment.

Also, if you want cross-browser inline-blocks (IE7+) you need to define it like this:

display: inline-block;
*zoom: 1;
*display: inline;

*Note: The order is important.

vertical-align: top saves the day! Put it on .div_game_thumb.

You can restore the little bit of margin that disappears after doing this by adding margin: 2px 0; as well.
