My first RotW of the year is….this one. Apologies for things like lateness and brevity. Working on an assignment for the site and all, you know. THIRD PLACE: Tobal No. 1 (PS) by JoeTheDestroyer I vaguely remember this game from around when I bought my PlayStation, but this is probably the first actual review of it I've read. You did a good job of illustrating the mediocrity, from the way the graphics aged, to the flawed wrestling combat and how quest mode's good things are marred by flaws. A lot of content here, but it's balanced well and doesn't get tiresome or confusing. SECOND PLACE: Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC) by jason_wilson I'm not one for MMOs, but you made a good case for this one. Enough that if I had a good PC or 60% more free time, I'd be interested in at least trying this one, as the emphasis on single-player mode intrigues me. As does the characters, since you made a good case for how this one actually has compelling supporting characters. You also did a good job of pointing out the flaws. In particular, how lightsabers are way underpowered compared to in the actual fiction. OVERDRIVE PLACE: Rayman Origins (XBox 360) by Suskie Very good review. Loaded with comparisons to other sorts of platformers to tell the reader just where this one stands. I also loved the intro about memorization for the sake of memorization and how that can be a failing in platformers AND how that relates to later stages in the game, when the difficulty picks up. This was a very enjoyable and comprehensive read. And now it's back to pondering why the office temperature reads 68, but it feels like it's 10+ degrees colder. I love that…really makes me feel like being productive when my hands are frigid, you know...

Nice--good to see a worthy new person hit the big board too. Hope they can do it again.
