Probably the easiest way to do this is:

 

-- fill your background layer with the darker color

-- create a new layer, and select a circular/oval area using the Elliptical marquee tool

-- fill that area with your lighter color, and then deselect the selection

-- blur the layer using the Gaussian Blur tool

Pick the gradient tool on the top menu bar there are 4 different types - use the 2nd one radial gradient and set the foreground and background colours. Then click and drag from the middle to the edge - you might have to inverse the colours to get the lighter one in the middle. If you want a more subtle gradient, double click the coloured gradient in the top toolbar and you can add colours to it.

 

If you need a tutorial Google - Photoshop radial gradient.

the first page deosn't look like a gradient to me, more playing with different shades of the color to get a light effect, often used in posters.

 

try this, fill the background with the color you want to use, let say grey #383838, now slect the brush, a big blurry with hardness 0. select a slightly lighter grey and apply it into the middle.

You should now have something very similar to the first url.
