Description

It's about time we had another review drive, so hey, let's do this!


Rules
- Write reviews for games that are hosted on the site (they must abide by current review standards).
- Only reviews added to the site over the course of the time period will count.
- There is no limitation to what kinds of games you review, though there is an extra badge if you review more than 5 non-reviewed games.



How to Submit

To enter and receive credit for this event, please do the following:
Step 1: Sign up for the event by clicking "Sign Up" at the top of the user list:





Step 2: Write your review(s), keeping in mind our submission rules. Please make the reviews as insightful and engaging as possible! A member of staff may proofread the review for minor spelling and grammatical faults or inconsistencies.


Step 3: Submit your review(s) to the appropriate game page(s).






Be sure to include your score (if any) and an appropriate title:





Step 4: Wait for the review to be approved. It may take up to a week. You might receive feedback on how to improve your review before approval. If the time elapses before your review is added, I (Liberty) will make a note as to which reviews are still in the queue and count them towards your total when they are accepted. (They must be of proper quality. Spamming the queue with shit/placeholder reviews will see them ignored.)

Step 5: Submit the approved review to this event page by clicking the "submit" button on the top-right corner of the page.





Step 6: Repeat for each qualified review. To receive credit, each review must be submitted to this page by the 1st of March deadline!






Achievements

Badges will be given based on the amount of reviews you complete. Each badge has a set amount necessary to unlock that badge and the more reviews you submit, the better MS you can get. You can gain more than one badge, too, with each badge giving a set amount of MS to add up.
The increments are as follows:

01 Review.. - 05 MS - Quina
03 Reviews - 15 MS - Quina + Eiko
06 Reviews - 25 MS - Quina + Eiko + Amarant
09 Reviews - 35 MS - Quina + Eiko + Amarant + Freya
12 Reviews - 45 MS - Quina + Eiko + Amarant + Freya + Steiner
15 Reviews - 55 MS - Quina + Eiko + Amarant + Freya + Steiner + Garnet
20 Reviews - 85 MS - Quina + Eiko + Amarant + Freya + Steiner + Garnet + Zidane

If 5 of those reviews are from games that didn't have a review BEFORE the event, then you will get a special Vivi badge worth 20 MS.
(If two people review the same reviewless game, they will both count as long as the game didn't have a review before the event officially began.)

Damnit! I wish I could join this, but sadly, I may not have the time to do any review... Well, it will be next time then.

I've got five reviews waiting in the queue, four of which I submitted within the past hour and a half. OTZ

I'm going to destroy this event, or at the very least get the Freya and Vivi achievements.
I'm aiming for a Zidane. Watch the man in action.

Sweet! Another review event – oh, glorious day! :D

I’m hoping that I can get at least six of them out so I can at least collect the Quina, Amarant and Eiko (maybe Vivi?) achievements, since those three guys were pretty much three quarters of my whole party when I last played FFIX. The Zidane one would be nice too, but there’s no f*cking way am I doing twenty of them in the span of only a few days, especially with my track record lately and what’s been going on at home.

It's almost two week's worth of time now (I extended it).

Just saw this now, I'll get to work on reviewing more games, is it ok if I have a copy of the same review on my own site?

That's a-okay, as long as they're on this site and you submit them to the event page.

You guys are certainly giving my 'accept' button-pushing finger a work-out.

Well, there were only about 20 reviews in the past month before this event, so~
MS and pretty badges always gives us a reason to submit stuff. :D
As a note, I'm glad this site has a review process for reviews, otherwise I'd be worried people would churn out a bunch of crap reviews. As it is though, I get a distinct feeling a lot of noticeably extremely short games are gonna get reviewed. I'm already trying to resist the urge to do so, and am working through a longer game at the moment.

I'm pretty much attempting to tackle the completed games with no reviews, regardless of length.

Finally, I got the two reviews I submitted accepted!

I've got 7 reviews either accepted or pending and another 7 games downloaded to try. Chances are pretty good that not all of them are going to be review worthy, but we can only see.

EDIT: Surprise, none of them were review worthy! Between crashing and just not being engaging, not a single one. So instead, I fell back on a few oldies that I remember. That makes 9. Gimme dat Freya achievement.

I also qualify for the Vivi achievement because I'm a trooper.

:) Not everyone seems to share that sentiment, hahaha!
But I'm with ya. I'll do my usual games (altho I tend to keep to generally shorter ones anyway), and if I can make the numbers, that'd be even better. Will see.
Just taking it nice and easy ~

20 Reviews... I... I can't even.
I'll try, lol... Guess this means my script is on hiatus for a few weeks.

Just finished the most adorable section of any game I've ever played. Er, I mean the events in Hotenshin (Luxaren Allure). If I'm eyeballing the game progress meter correctly, I should be at about the 75% mark.

As an aside, I'm not sure if it's just the version I'm playing (I think I'm still running the original completed release before any bug-fixes occurred?), but, I toned down the difficulty level by a step. It's weird, but, regular fights were taking about the same amount of time and resources as before, but the first (or was it second) boss I faced after toning down the difficulty, it went down really fast! Sorry, it just seems like a really awkward thing to notice!

I had a review denied for having the wrong image. This is the image I see in the review:



Are you seeing 6 sprites facing each other in a hallway with cardboard boxes to the left and pipes coming out of the wall with a variety of VX's combat HUD at the bottom, because that's what I'm seeing, and I promise that's the right image.

I see the image you used for your Linear motion Combat review.

Then there's a glitch with my locker. That means I may have to open that awful game again.

Edit: I've removed the image.
Jesus, these reviews are coming in fast and furious! I literally just submitted my last review just three hours ago and, lo and behold – there it is, front page. :P

And holy shit, Corfaisus, pianotim and Kylaila – slow the f**k down; you guys are way too fast! Remember, you guys are NOT nhubi. There’s no need to achieve such hyperspeed…

(Also, I miss nhubi… Where the hell did she gooooooo?)
Gonna use the week-end so I can take it easy. Wasn't feeling up for work yet anyway. :) How rude only nhubi could do that.

Yeah.. I'm sure nhubi is plenty busy, but would be lovely to see them drop by for a quick lifesign.

Pianotm is should compete in the 2016 Reviewlympics for the amount of stuff he has submitted in such a short period of time.
