Can't believe membrane massacre scored so low, and a tower defense game is on top...

Did it just get awesome it here?Loving the layout! And yeah, nice to see Derek laying down some kickassness,espeically since it definitely does benefit to the round-up. The differing opinions on some games such as Mebrane Massacre are pushing me into trying the games out for myself to see where I lay in the grand scheme of things. T'was a good one.

Well done Paul, a deservedly excellent set of reviews and scores there.This, shamefully, is one of the only GT roundups I've actually been motivated to read all the way through, and it was a good read. Great job The Illustrious Panel :)

Thanks haowan, though I can't take credit for the best part of the game (the story), which was mostly the writer's doing.Also, re: "Can't believe membrane massacre scored so low, and a tower defense game is on top..." -- try not to think of games as genres. Any genre can have good or bad games, there's nothing inherently bad with any genre, even Match-3 had a few good games (like Yoshi's Cookie IMO).
