Reviews of the IF COMP 2008 Games

     Above, the games are listed twice. First, they are shown in the order I played. Next, they are in order by score, with a small green dash beside any score that was raised due to a bonus point. When sorting games with the same score, I gave priority to games that didn't need the bonus point to achieve the score, and simply picked the one that was more fun or more appealing for the remainder of the cases.

     I managed to play almost every game this year, although I missed the last five from my randomly-ordered list. Also, I once again revised my scoring criteria this year, and in a much bigger way than before. I'm not entirely happy with how this turned out. It not only dragged my scores down more than usual, but it also didn't allow for much subtlety, or for a game's really strong feature to make up for its really weak ones.

     I don't have much post-review commentary this year, so I haven't included an additional wrap-up page -- just this. Next year, whether I enter or not, I'm giving serious thought to not only skippings reviews entirely (it takes soooo much time), but I may also take to skipping games that are obviously broken or buggy after less time spent playing.
