The three judges have now been announced, and I do say it's quite an eclectic trio!

Remember that you can post early and revise... there's no need to hold the review (especially if you're hoping to get some feedback from others). I won't add links to the top post until after the deadline.

If you requested a review from someone else, it would probably be polite to tell them what you think of it at some point.

Zig, your avatar is simultaneously awesome and more awesome.

Three weeks to go!

Sorry to disapoint you OD but...


... I'm really enjoying Parasite Eve 2. Which is funny because I really didn't the first time through.

I'm glad it's my second time through. I think I've got my angle for the review.

Less than two weeks remain!

Alright... it's me, Genj, and Felix... going at it hardcore.

I'm thinking there'll be people swooping in at 11:59 PM. I have faith in 'em. It's happened before.

Still, I half forgot about this until now. Looking forward to it.

I've been excited since day one. Best idea for a contest I've seen yet on the site. I had a lot of fun reviewing Parasite Eve 2.

I have an open text document on my computer. That's been blank for the last two hours.

I vote for OD.

Done with my review.

Idemo do dna....tugo ti i ja.

There are words on my text document now. Later today, they may even form something resembling legitimate thought.

Project: Snowblind

And now they do! Possible editing to come later.

I have a feeling this is going to be a very close contest! So far all the submissions have been of extremely high quality! Hopefully mine fits that bill, too. I'm too close to it to tell. But it's all very exciting. I just hope people get their reviews in so we have a solid turn out.

I'd like to do this contest again later in the year.

Oh yeah, this. Well, as it happens, EmP picked the one game on my list that I actually had to go back and play in order to review, which would have worked if I'd found my copy or gotten a ROM working. Neither happened, so I'll have to respectfully back out.

Yeah, I know the point of this contest was to provide games you definitely could review. Well, fuck you.

You exist because we allow it. And you will end because we demand it.

Something has come up, so I might be running just a bit late (only by an hour or two). Feel free to continue posting and editing reviews until this topic is locked. I'll link everything once I get back.

EmP's Dramatic Entry

For us. For them. For you.

Probably only the most fiendish of Turbo fiends will get all the comparisons and allusions I make in this review, but I'm just happy I managed to write something.

Star Parodier

I don't have to boost my review resume because I have real resume.

Hi

_

Reviews are linked. On the off chance that anyone has a last-minute entry, or notices a last-minute word spelled wrong, I'm leaving this topic open until I wake up.

Judges, feel free to start reading! If anyone actually wants to compile results, please speak up. Otherwise, I'll gather and assemble the final results.
