Ok, I've been looking over a few of my reviews, and some need to be changed (and some in more dramatic ways then others). I'm not saying that IM or CN or whoever has to change the following reviews, I'm just going to put this down so 1. I don't forget and 2. The authors or players of these games who read my reviews and think "what." will have a general idea of what's up.

Metamorphosis - Needs a grade drop. Sadly, double sizing sprites isn't as spectacular as it was, and also the game has only moderate graphics. D+.

Ecopia: Shadow on Perrip - This review needs a rewrite, as well as a grade drop, probably down to a B- though. The graphics are very bad, except the cutscenes. However, the great gameplay really keeps the score up to a degree.

Arfenhouse 3 -This review also needs a rewrite, and probably a grade drop to an A, though it is still a hilarious game.

Time Flies - Review needs to be longer. Other then that, I like my decision.

Blackened - I need to re-play it (as it was updated) so that I can write a better review.

Avalanche - After replaying, this game doesn't have much. C-

FFH - I'm debating this one. I replayed it and didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the first time. I'm considering droping it to a C, but it's still up in the air. Also, the graphics score needs to go down a tad, as though Fenrir's original enemy graphics are fantastic, the hero graphics leave much to be desired.

Powerstick Man - Grade drop, probably to an A-. It is still a great game (love the dialogue and story), the battle gameplay is still quite lacking. I tried to play through it again and couldn't (hey, it's a long game Raspberry!), and those battles are really a major drawback.

Urban Fantasy - No changes. Eggie canceled it anyway.

Partisan Legacy I - This one REALLY needs a rewrite, but I told Minnek I wouldn't do it until he got around to releasing the final version. It has been updated a LOT since the original, and from what I seen deserves a better grade.

Monterey Penguin - I'm fine with this review.

And& - Grade drop to a B. It isn't as fun as I remembered it, but it is still a somewhat enjoyable game. Just don't have much variety, to say the least.

Me - Grade drop to a C-. There is little to nothing in this game. It needs an update (which it will never get).

"Never Go West" - I'm content with this review.

Bliss - Needs a review write for the gameplay section (I finally figured it out...genius) as well as a grade boost to an A or even an A+. Of all the OHR games I've ever played, this one is probably the one I've replayed the most times. I'd go as far as saying it is my favorite OHR game, except I really enjoyed EOTE2 so...

Halloween Quest - I'm content with this review, though it is still borderline between B and B+. I eagerly await the sequal.

Magnus Prologue - C seems a decent grade, but I'd probably lower it to a C- as (like many of the previous reviews) THERE ISNT MUCH THERE.

Blow Up - I'm fine with this review (though I'll admit the grade is a tad higher then I'd like it to be Raspberry!)

Mormon Mission - Ugh, this one. I need to change the graphic's points, as well as probably re-write it a little less biased on my part, though it probably won't help the grade too much (It'll still be in D range even if I decide to change it at all)

Mr. T's Maze Madness - Needs a grade drop, probably to a B or B+. After replaying, the game is still really fun, but the lousy graphics, dialogue, and green day music really gets frustrating after a while. If this game were remade it would be really awsome.

Pac Man OHR - I actually could hear the music after all, but that didn't really affect my grade. On an unrelated note, the fact that the screenshot on the game list was from the original pac-man, not pac-OHR is a bit decieving.

Curse of Dracula - I'm fine with this review.

Vlad - Heh...ha ha...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

Blu Eternal - I'm fine with this one. I seem to like most of my more recent reviews better, as I'm more down to earth. Of course, the grades are a bit lower, but I'm a perfectionist. Raspberry!

Crescent Dream - This needs some major changing. First, take off the perfect score points, especially in music. Second, drop the grade to an A-. Sure, it's a great game, but we need more of it and more original music. It's tragic...after giving Blu Eternal a B because it was to short and has no music, I have an equally short game with ripped music an A+. Oh well. It is still a good game, probably worth of an a or A+ by the time it is finished, but for now it is incomplete.

IMD Anthology - I forgot how much I loved these games. Grade boost to a B+.

Robot Game - I'm content with this review.

Secret Milkshake - If I gave robot game a D, I should at least give this game an F+ or D-, as it is almost as humorous, even if the game is crap. Big grin

Magnus 17 - Grade raise, probably to a B- or B, though I still dislike the ending. The story was very fresh, if I recall.

Walthrus - Grade raise, definatly to an A.

DEER HUNTER XTREME - I'm fine with this one.

OHRadius - Needs a few edits in the game. Other then that, it seems ok.

MTSA5 - I'm fine with this review.

Arfenhouse 4 - Hmm...maybe a slight grade raise, just because the game is actually somewhat "finished." It was still rotten, though.

Way of the Warrior - He he...this and "Vlad" are high up there on my "Worst OHR Games Ever" list.

Purgatory - Turns out most of my gripes in terms of map puzzles were removed, as I was playing an older version I had lying around. No, no, no... Anyway, grade stays the same.

Games I need to review:
By the Seventh Book (Uncommon, if I can hold you off by saying this, excellent game. I'm just having problems thinking up what to say about it Raspberry!)
Wingedmene (fun, but the battles are tedious)

That's it. If your game is in here and it got changed, congrats. If not, then go make a good game (or really awful one) so I'll review it. Raspberry!

Dude, you have certainly reviewed a lot of things. I admire that quality in a CP member. You certainly have done quite a bit to help out CP.

Yeah, and I can expect that you'll review my little demo coming up, right?

Shadowiii you're the bestest, goodest, and betterest reviewer ever. You deserve CP rememberance, forever.

Nice. Consider me held off.

Wow... Sounds like a suck up. Heh. Besides there are a lot of reviwers on CP, and Shadowiii. He's just written the most (beat me by one). Every reviewer gives a different perspective of the game.

Hey, it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, so it must've worked.

As for reviews, I care little about how many reviews I've written. Rather, I'd hope that the quality has improved (which it has. Read some of my original reviews, they were awful awful things).

Oh, and Uncommon, I sent you a PM. Raspberry!
