So KB didn't win? KB = Michael Reed right?

Anyways - well done to the winners and to those that got an honourable mention. :wink:

I do not know KB's real name, also there was not a winner as such, some people were chosen because of their ability to pen a good review.

its funny that way, i'm not that good at playing certain games. It usually takes me a few extra hours to finish unlie other people i know who can finish a game quickly. and yet I'm not too bad at writing. I'm no shakespeare but I can use words to help me.

Yea - good going in cracking the top few!

Wikid - your review is pretty good, only thing is, the PDF I downloaded of your review starts off with page two first and then page one :? Dunno if it's my PC, but I thought that the review started off in the middle of nowhere - until I got to page two - then it began!

Thanks :D But yeah. When I made the PDF the pages were next to each other. But when executed it put the right page first. Dunno why or how to fix it...

Well done Halo.
Nicely written.. although the little bit that I skimmed, I saw a few grammatical/spelling mistakes.
Of course that is up to the editor to fix (lazy editor anyone?), so well done.

EDIT: Perhaps not lazy. Perhaps incompetent. :?:
