I probably won't be able to send anything until the 17th, rather annoyingly. Is there a confirmed deadline?

Disco: You will be forgiven upon receipt of a Sybria review. Forst or second will do.

Dagoss: I will change your game. Look to your HG mail shortly

Reyn: Deadline is July 27th.

'Tis a shame I came back late for this one, it's one of the more interesting tourneys you guys have had here. Good luck to those who entered.

I don't think I'll be able to compete in this one. Finding a working version of my game has proved to be quite difficult (despite my usual ability to get just about any Sega CD game running), and this month will be quite busy for me, including a vacation at the end that I believe I'll be on during the deadline. Sorry guys.

I'm going to have to drop out of this one, too.

It's a shame that over two months isn't long enough for some people.

I should join in late, finish my obscure game, and beat all the dropouts!

What I have:

Famicom (with an adaptor for US NES releases)
SNES (modded for JP games)
N64 (buried somewhere)
Wii
GBA SP
DS

Genesis
Sega CD (buried somewhere; probably doesn't work anymore)
Game Gear (If I can find batteries)
Saturn (compatible with any region as long as I donakt need a RAM expansion
Dreamcast (with a freeloader disc)

PC Engine DUO

PS2 (JP)
PS3 (original 60 GB with BC intact)
PSP

Xbox
Xbox 360 (both are US versions, unmodded)

Basically, through region-free and/or mods and backwards compatibility I can play basically any game for those consoles except Xbox and 360.

As for genre, I try to keep an open mind for anything except sports games, which are the spawn of satan himself. However, I greatly enjoy rpg, shmups, fighters, and manly brawlers.

What should we do with our review once it is completed? Should we just submit it as usual? Should we send it to someone?

Just sub as normal and link on from this topic. If you want to keep it a secret for a while, link in nearer the deadline.

Here it is then. I'm not very happy with it, but there's only so much you can do with yet another shooter.

Ugh, I dunno how I ever played Jedi Knight back in the day with the mouse and keyboard set up. It was a different mouse, anyway. I've tweaked the controls as much as I can, but I still can't get it how I like it. The mouse is either too sensitive (i move it slightly and my character spins around), or it does nothing at all. Unplayable, really.

I tried to get a wired 360 controller, or find that wireless device to use my wireless 360 controller on the PC, but I wasn't able to get one (lack of money etc.), so I'm close to the deadline now and I'm still only a few minutes into the game. It's been years since I've played, so I'm not sure if I could review it by memory alone. But as things go, it is impossible to play properly, so I can't really be honest as to whether the game is still actually fun or not, and without that integrity, I have no chance of reviewing it.

Blah. I might have a review for JEDI KNIGHT up by the deadline, but then again, I might not.

Just acquired the game I am playing for my review. I am glad I entered this tournament, I would have never in a billion years have played this one otherwise. Maybe a monthly thing where a person randomly selects a random game for people to review would be a fun and creative idea. No judging or anything.. just a way to get people like me to try new things.

Now to announce the top-secret game I've been playing that none of you were curious about in the first place!

Namco X Capcom

I'll update it with the link if I'm still online when the review gets accepted.

In your face, slackers that decided to drop out.

Mine will be up tomorrow.

I hope, because I ain't gonna have the time to type things up over the days after that. Or, to be more accurate, I may have the time, but I won't be sober enough during that time to type.

As a sidenote to Blu, I will get revenge because I know you picked this one for me. Couldn't you have given me Memento Mori or Requiem? As opposed to the Doom World's "Adventures of Lolo on Crack"?

Cyberdreams

Hopefully I'll remember to put some cover art up tonight. Which will be a generic image of a Cyberdemon as this was a fan-made megawad and not some stupid official mass market game.

Here's my review for the game I said I wouldn't have time to write about.

Here's my review.

I'm sorry for such poor quality. Right now I really don't have any inspiration to write for a tourney so at least I kept it short.

Aw drat, I forgot today was the deadline. I've already played the game, and I could pump out a review in the next four and a half hours, but I'm half-drunk right now, and I'm tripping over my fingers here on my keyboard, so no go for me.

Hm... Roughly 24 sign up, only 9 submit so far (on this topic anyway). Hope more fill in. >_> Night's still young, though.
