So this is an idea I've been playing around with for a while, and with one competition drawing to a close and seemingly nothing coming up to take its place, now seems like the perfect time to do it.

Haha, this sounds like exactly the kind of comp you'd think up. Count me in.

I would like to reiterate the suggestion that Lewis made. If you're particiapating in this contest and you have staff clearance, please do not post your review as a staff or freelance review. This is a great opportunity for writers to experiment and evolve their writing into new territory, but it's not likely to produce the sort of content that we're specifically looking for from staff reviews (which have to appeal to a general audience more than they do an audience of review critics or essayists).

I'll either submit that Dead Space analysis I've been working on... or something else... or I'll judge. Can I hold off on declaring which for a little bit?

I'll be sitting this one out for personal philosophical reasons, but I heartily approve. This is a fantastic idea, and this is exactly what I was hoping you'd do when I heard you were planning a contest. I'm really excited about reading the entries for this one.

I may write something. And I will take zero offense if HG wants it removed later for not being a real review :)

Zig, you would be more than welcome as a judge.

So would something like this or this count? That's not to declare that I will be using either of those though.

I think I want to judge this one. While I love the idea and will probably write a "review" to honor it, I think it would be even more fun to read all the entries and provide feedback for them.

dagoss: the Half-Life one definitely would! That's exactly the sort of thing I'm on about.

Go ahead and mark me as judge. I've got too many other reviews on my plate to any sort've "theme" right now.

Not writing reviews is my specialty. I'm in.

I have a "review" in my head right now. This competition is the excuse I needed to post it -- as soon as I extract it from my head and convert it to some sort of communicable text, that is.

Hey, Lewis. I wrote a blog (the one Inspired By Suskie) recently. Maybe it will work, and there's no reason I can't spin that to talk about Sewer Shark directly to express my overall idea.

This is interesting... I've been thinkng about it since you put it up (which is why I haven't said anything yet). I might try to write something for this, but what you're looking for really does go way beyond my usual style, so picking something to fit (and feel emotional enough about) would be tricky. Really, I've been having a lot of trouble even figuring out what to say in something like this let alone the appropriate game for it.
