UPDATE: The Final Round is over - here are the winners!

First of all congratulations — and thanks for helping make GOG.com reviews awesome! Winners were chosen by vote from the pool of eligible entries. We judged the merits of the review itself – the game and rating were not taken under consideration.

As befitting of a grand finale, this time around we have not one but three ROCCAT prizes to give out: a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Aluma</span> in-ear headset, a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Kova</span> mouse, and a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Hiro+</span> mousepad!


We'll be contacting the winners in order of placement to ask them which piece of gear they prefer.
Now onwards to the future owners of sweet stuff:

1st Winner<span class="bold">Shadow9001 on Deus Ex</span>

2st Winner<span class="bold">Leonard03 on Worms Armageddon</span>

3st Winner<span class="bold">SDX on Fallout 2</span>

Honorable Mentions – $9.99 GOG.com Game Code

<span class="bold">Ingsco85</span> on Victor Vran
<span class="bold">Galleguian</span> on Hatoful Boyfriend
<span class="bold">PIXZEL</span> on Dead Space

Thanks everyone for participating in our Review of the Month contests and a huge thank you to our good friends at ROCCAT for providing us with all these excellent pieces of gaming gear.

We'll be contacting the winners soon!



Original announcement
Together with our friends at ROCCAT we venture to encourage and reward the best reviews on GOG.com – so welcome to the final edition of our Review of the Month contest! As in last time around, eligible entries can be about ANY game in our catalog. That's right, you can write about any game you fancy, regardless of when they were released!

A proper Review Contest must go out with a bang, so for the final round we have not just one, but 3 pieces of sexy gaming gear up for grabs: a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Aluma</span> in-ear headset, a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Kova</span> gaming mouse, and a <span class="bold">ROCCAT Hiro+</span> mousepad.

Here's what you need to know:

Once you have posted your review, submit it for consideration by also quoting it in this thread.
Keep the review guidelines in mind. A good review can be both entertaining and informative, it can be brief or extensive. It doesn't need to be positive in its overall assessment of the game - as long as it's eloquent and fair (or hilarious), it has our attention.
Deadline for submissions is the end of October, and winners will be announced in early November. Remember that if you're not happy with the shape of a review you've already posted, you can always contact our support team to rectify that.
The best 3 reviews will win a sweet piece of gaming gear, courtesy of the good people at ROCCAT. Any runner-ups will receive honorable mentions and one $9.99 code each, to be redeemed at GOG.com.

Let's celebrate the reviews that hit the nail on the head — the most constructive, informative, or fun to read. Grab your keyboards and make some magic happen, GOGers!

Still nothing? I don't want to seem rude, but I would really like to use my gift code in the current sale ...
Thank you so much! But, I haven't received my game code yet, any chance that'll happen soon?

PIXZEL: Thank you so much! But, I haven't received my game code yet, any chance that'll happen soon?
Soon or soonish... I got an honorable mention two editions ago and I still didn't get my code so I guess we have to wait a bit more. Fully unprofessional if you ask me, but oh, well... ;)
I mean, give these guys their codes and then mail the other stuff...
Hey hey, it's now been five or six months and I still got nothing in my wallet (or wherever those winner codes would go ...) Seriously, where's the staff? Why no one answers our questions in this thread? I refuse to believe they don't see them.

Shhh! Not so loudly! You'll wake them up!
WAKE THEM UUUUUUP?!!!

Ok, I'll go fetch my shotgun. That MIGHT wake them up.
To anyone interested I just receive my code, thanks GOG!

Hey guys, I got in touch with some of the winners that I managed to track back from the old threads, but if you won (or got an honorable mention) in a Review of the Month contest this year and didn't receive your prize or your game codes, PM me and I'll get it sorted.
Ok, basically, I don't understand what happened ...

I was SURE that I won one of the honorable mentions in the June/July edition (I think?). I didn't dream, I'm not crazy, and I even talked about to my boyfriend and said it was a cool idea and that I was happy I won something.

It was a review of Torchlight, and when I won, it was highlighted as an "honorable mention" on the side of the post in the forums, in green, if I remember correctly?. Now, I went back to the corresponding post, and it's gone! I'm not on the "honorable" mentions" list either anymore! Seriously, what's going on? Was I taken out because I complained too much about not getting my code? I have no proof whatsoever of what I'm saying, because I didn't think it would be necessary to take a screenshot or something at the time! I don't now if anyone can even prove that my name was on there. It's so strange! I was waiting for this code and commenting here for 6 months ... :///

EDIT : all this is still true, except that I' didn't enter the june/july contest, but the fall contest. I posted my review of Torchlight on the 13th of september. I still very well remember my name being amogst the honorable mentions ...

here's the link for my review :

"Honorable" mention, that's what one deserves for writing a review for "Gain".
Is a deceptive thing all the way though is it not?
there's no honor in that at all, not really.

reviews should just be reviews, not because you gain something..
that makes the review worthless in itself, does it not?

is that actually fair to your fellow consumer?
or is it taking part in a clever deception?
which by proxy makes all the rest of the reviews worthless.

you should consider what i said.

to know a friend you must be a friend, right?
what is honor without integrity but a word?

At least NOW i KNOW why the reviews all seem so fake.

Ok, basically I had the honorable mention in the september contest, the one that was the first one open to all games, not only the ones which were out that month.

And as hard as I try, I just can't find the forum post metioning the winners for september. It goes straight from the June/July winners to the october (fall) winners. I guess that's why I can't find my name in there ... because I can't find the forum post.

that's not what I was saying, I am just an observer, what I am saying is THIS: "There is NO HONOR in DISHONORABLE things" and writing a review for gain, that is indeed a dishonorable thing.
