My results review: the first half was good and fun, while the second half is becoming frustrating, overly drawn out and ultimately irritating.

Unlucky, Pilch - you were second place in my book, and indeed I was THIS close from giving you top marks. Really liked it.

Wow, well done Priesty. I had GTA down as my NO CIGAR, though it seems to have been more popular with a lot of people. Well done, Legends (but boo hiss for not voting)!

Are you in the top three for both then, Poncho?

I only entered a review. Didn't realise for ages that you could do both, but I'm pretty useless at features/articles anyway and the standard was so high I figured there was no point

I *think* I know which yours is. I guess we'll see soon enough.
I'm shocked at one of the articles that's made it into the top three, and one other I voted for I didn't necessarily expect to see in there, either.
EDIT: Well done Pilch, once again. Do you write for D+PAD, out of interest?

Legends.
DENIED!
For the articles, Legends got my first place vote and Pilch my second. This was because they brought something genuinely new and in-depth to the table. I found both articles fascinating. It remains to be seen how high up Legends would have been had he votes, but I think Pilch's effort has been underscored pretty badly.

Not that it matters - I'm absolutely delighted to be in the top 3 whatever happens.

Cheers! I don't write for any sites, no, but I'd quite like to. If anyone likes what they've seen and wants me on board then let me know!

I believe the top two in both categories received my top two votes, so that's nice.
