Michael Martin reviews the IFComp: Episode 1 of 3
My play of IF games in the comp tends to be kind of bursty, and I always liked the Floods of Reviews. However, it's more typical at present to blog them in these modern, decadent times, and so I'll be joining in the fun.
In an effort to keep spam on Planet-IF minimal, I'll be making rare posts for many games. To keep spoilers minimal, unrelated reviews will all be separate posts.
In our first update, I review Recess at Last, wHen mAchines aTtack, Channel Surfing, Cry Wolf, The Hall of the Fount of Artois, Search for the Ultimate Weapon, The Missing Piece, The Lighthouse, Project Delta, The Absolute Worst Game in IF History, and Freedom. Those last few reviews are related and so are reviewed on the same page; beware of spoilers if you only want reviews of some of them.
The reviews continue in Part 2 and Part 3.
Generally speaking, my reviews do not include scores; this is because my scale is about 75% "curved to the comp"; a score of 8, for instance, means more in a good year than in a bad one.
