Because I'm a very, very busy man, this RotW is a bit late. Note that I said I'm a very, very busy man; not that I have a memory roughly as effective as soggy bread as far as retaining stuff goes. Anyway, enough of my (perceived, imaginary) failings and other irrelevant stuff and now it's time to look at reviews. Four contestants this week, as Nightfire's slightly old review for Dune II gets moved to this week since he judged last week's fun and games. But, don't worry! Next week, when EmP is back judging, it looks like there will be A DAMN TON of reviews for him to judge!!!

There actually are only a limited number of ways to approach a persuasive essay, and by now they're quite well known and used fairly regularly. Reviews are essentially persuasive essays, so the list of available formats is mostly limited to the following:

Thank you for the win! I will admit that I do rely on a formula, at least for my retrospective reviews, and I seem to do it without even realizing it. It's just the way that my brain organizes everything that I want to say, I guess.

Glad you liked the review, despite not being big on combat racing games! Thanks for the mention, and congrats to Nightfire for the RotW, as well as EmP and Otokonomiyaki for their contributions.
