April was the month that the Reader Review made its revival, and we’re looking to keep that momentum going. But who wrote the best one? Find out inside! The winner receives a prize pack courtesy of Madman.
A good month of Reader Reviews. I liked the Deadly Premonition one, partly because the game is so interesting, but partly because it was a well written piece. Jimu’s was a pretty definitive read, and written from the perspective of a seasoned Pokemon master – so awesome job on that front.
I still haven’t seen Sucker Punch yet – but AmbroseIV made a pretty compelling case for the widely panned flick, with a review that detailed the movie’s strengths and weaknesses with a real honesty. Dean’s Shogun 2 review had me involved in a game I literally had no interest in playing.
Jamesmacusedmyhandle gets mad props for writing about WWE All Stars, a game I enjoyed and having pretty much the precise same opinion on it as me!
But this month’s best review goes to Mase – for having the brass balls to review Mortal Kombat on an Australian website. Congratulations! Please get in contact with me here and I’ll forward your details to Madman, who will provide you with your prize.
Well done!

Thursday, May 19, 2011 at 3:50 PMMr Mac… You won a Kudos a while back for your funny remarks and when you won it I could not really think of any (had obviously not been paying attention)… Since then, you have not dissapointed.
This is just another example. Not sure if Kudos is like double jeopardy so not sure you can win it again for the same reason… but you are a champ mate.

And mine missed the cut by one day :P
Noticed that while this post is tagged with “Reader Reviews”, and mine is tagged as “Reader Review”. Looks like the same thing happened with yours as well james ;)

She’ll do it.

Mase
