Reader Reviews

Deus Ex 2, Final Fantasy X, Star Wars KOTOR, Flipnic, Guilty Gear X2, BF Vietnam, Zelda: Majora's Mask, Tomb Raider - your views on all of them.

With Easter coming up, we had hoped to reward this week's best review with a jolly old chocolate egg. Unfortunately, we didn't remember to buy one, so instead we'll be inflicting something else on this week's winner. Speaking of whom... This week was a tricky one. Although there was a temptation to reward Peej (again) for his unusual approach to Battlefield Vietnam, Tannerd narrowly wins this week, partly because it makes a nice change and partly because we enjoyed his piece, but mostly because he too worships at the altar of brevity, and we managed to read the entire thing without having to pop to the loo. Tannerd: we'll be in touch.

Elsewhere this week's pickings are fat and juicy, much like we're all going to be within the next few days. Deus Ex: Invisible War, Final Fantasy X, Knights of the Old Republic and Zelda: Majora's Mask all put in a weighty showing, with light relief from the psychadelic Flipnic, and Kami's pasting of Lara Croft's most recent outing (sooner or later we're going to have to stop twisting the knife, chaps). And don't worry if you didn't make it in this week - there will be another instalment before you know it (where "you know it" is equal to a random day next week). Stay tuned, or something.

The Rules

Reader Reviews should be submitted to contact@eurogamer.net, and can be written about anything you like - hardware, games, peripherals - even if we've already written about it. In fact, that's kind of the point! Also, thanks to lobbying from various long-winded people, there is no word limit! Just please try to keep it clean and legal - like we do for you! The best candidate each week will receive a random bit of game-related tat (possibly even an actual game) as a prize. Lucky, lucky you. And of course, your work will be displayed for all to see.
