Heh, yeah. I PMed Doc on the morning you offered to do SMK. So we'll have both ended up writing it at around the same time, I think.

Then Open Office crashed.

But yeah, safe to say I dragged my emo feet over it anyway. :ninja:

Well mine is done so er... you can do all the rest I suppose.

I'm not actually sure. I'm a week or so behind compiling submissions -- there's a few left. I'll try and find time tonight to bring the current draft up to scratch and then post an update.

I've done all but one of my write-ups. I hereby promise not to play a game on my 360 until I have done the last one.

It's in a UPS depot in Charlton, where it will reside until Wednesday.

I won't play on Dimrill's spare one either then. Happy now?

Post subject:  Re: The Official BEEX Bestest Games Of All Time
These are the games I am still lacking writeups for:

Quote:
47. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - 10 - RuySan
37. Championship Manager 01/02 - 10 - myp (or Runcle?)
36. Osu! Tatake! Ouendan! - 11 romanista
33. Perfect Dark - 12 - TheVision
22. Baldurs Gate 2 - 17 - Mr Chris
20. Street Fighter 2 - 19 * - TheVision (alt. throughsilver)
15. Advance Wars Dual Strike - 23 romanista
6. Goldeneye 007 - 32 - TheVision
5. The Secret of Monkey Island - 34.75 * - myp
4. Call Of Duty 4 - 37 - curiosity
3. Sensible World Of Soccer - 41.5 * - myp (alt. romanista)

Curio -- I had your other reviews but can't find one for CoD4. Is that right? Or have I missed a PM?

At this stage, if ANYONE wants to write ANYTHING about ANY of these games, please do so. Or if they know anyone who would like to do so. I just want the fucking thing finished. And before anyone moans, I'm asking you to write a paragraph people; it should no longer than writing a few posts on the forum here. Meanwhile I've spent hours and hours compiling and editing this massive article. SO I HAVE NO SYMPATHIES.

I'll take Street Fighter 2. I'm not that qualified to write about it but at least it will get done. It's the only one I've played on there (have only played plain Sensi I'm afraid).

It has taken me the length of time from my previous post to do SF2 and PM it to Gaywood. It's not a bloody dissertation so can people who have played these games please just write something.

It's not hard. I would but I simply haven't played them. Well I've played Sensi but not Sensi World.

Rich - I thought I had sent you the CoD4 one, but it's equally likely that I forgot to actually send the bloody thing as I wrote it in a Word Processor as it's longer than the others.

I'm just dashing out for dinner now, but will locate it and send it you tonight.

Only a lunatic would think that Dual Strike is the best version of Advance Wars, so I suggest we/you write about the series as a whole.

Post subject:  Re: The Official BEEX Bestest Games Of All Time
I'd just publish the article now.. and for any that haven't received mini-reviews put:

'Massively overrated bullshit. Worse than Hugo on the Playstation.

Disagree? Send mini-review to an_email_address_goes_here@put_your_money_where_your_mouth_is_you.co.cx'

Of course, for Championship Manager, thats a perfectly valid review.

Hang on, I did all mine and sent them to the good Doc ages ago!! Let me check and I'll send them again if needs be.

EDIT:- Yep, I did them on the 7th August at 1:50pm. Don't tell my boss though.. I should have been working at this time!

It was late when I got home, so I didn't turn on my PC. I'll send over CoD4 tonight.

Once you've collated the rest I am happy to go through and write a single paragraph of nonsense for anything missing.

Mr Chris has promised me Baldur's Gate this week. Curio, I cannot find your CoD4 writeup (I have your other ones); can you resend? The Vision, I dunno why I missed your writeups but thanks for resending them.

I think the Advance Wars writeup can be about the series. They're pretty fundamentally similar. And I want this finished!

Now I'm off to fix up a fuckload of broken HTML. Go me!

YOu did? Well, I'm a shallow bastard then. Or maybe I've just gone cross-eyed from editing 10,848 words of copy (yes, really).

It's almost all edited now, just a few more of the mini reviews I want to look at and I need to sprinkle some more screenshots over it.

Dunno yet. I'm putting one in every 5 or so reviews, really just to break the text up a bit. I might take you up on that. Actually, get me one for Elite, would you?

Also, this is what my PC looks like at the moment. Ph33r the pixels.
