Greetings and salutations! Enough small talk! It's time for RotW MADNESS!

You know the rules. I make decisions. Only one review per person. Zig's not eligible. Which means nothing, as he didn't submit a review. I really hate it when a person puts in a stipulation where they don't have their reviews count...but then don't even give me the opportunity to deny their review.



THIRD PLACE: Super Basketball (Arcade) by aschultz

This was a good week. Seemed like just about every review had a chance to be placed, as there were no clunkers. This was a neat little review of a game I'd never heard of. A fun look at an old arcade game with a simple hook to get people to play. You do a great job of explaining how things work without out getting too wordy/FAQ-y (which I've mentioned in critiquing you before). A short, effective review that was easy to read and I learned something about a game I knew nothing about — I can't complain about that!

SECOND PLACE:

I'm not afraid to die because I am invincible
Viva la muerte, that's my goddamn principle

Yeah, it was nice to see good reviews this week. Of course, they're usually there. But it's nicer and rarer to get a mention in RotW.

Congrats to those who placed above me, too. Their reviews were more ambitious and deserved it.

Sometimes not being FAQ-y is more a case of just having so much time to write something out or redo an old GameFAQs review. It seems tougher to do with games I haven't reviewed yet, even when I put aside time to proofread.

Review of Street Fighter 2010

Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic."

I totally get what you're coming form, so thanks a lot, and I'm glad the review connected with you. Props to Leroux and Schultz.
