Who Wrote The Best Review In August?

Kotaku AU

Every month we publish your reader reviews. And every month we award a prize pack for the best review we publish. Let’s find out who won for August.

But first, what’s that prize? Thanks to the very kind chaps at Madman Entertainment, purveyor of all kinds of cool, indie and esoteric film, the best reader review we publish each month will win a prize pack containing ten of the latest Madman DVD and/or Blu-ray releases.

All you have to do is send your review to us at the usual address. Make sure it’s written in the standard format and in under 500 words. We’ll publish the best ones we get and the best of the month will win a Madman prize pack. Every review published between August 1 and August 31 was eligible for this month’s prize draw.

So, our August winner is…

Katie Williams!

Katie reviewed two doses of DLC this month, Heavy Rain’s Taxidermist and Alan Wake’s Signal. You can read hers and everyone else’s reviews via the links below.

        hahaha lost cannon more like it. Think I’ve lost all grip I had on reality this week. Life has been thrown in to a spin with being sick and having to teach the work experience kid. Totally thrown me off my regular schedule!
