Congratulations, guys! There were some really great Blogs and Reviews this month, and deciding was incredibly difficult. Shout outs to Nate-Dog, coolbeans, darkpower and iamnsuperman, to name a few.
A note about Blog and User review selections, since there's been a tiny bit of confusion in the past: We don't choose winners based on what we agree with, we choose them based on things like quality, and if they're interesting. :)

*Just a note: I'm sorry the Daily Visit score isn't more 'every day' instead of its current 'every 24h1m', but that is just the front end tracking for you guys and when we run the lotto we pull from a more accurate list. So for those of you visiting every day diligently but not triggering the Daily Visit score reward, don't stress about it!

Games Asylum: "Before starting this review, I attempted to research the time management genre, inadvertently discovering an unexplored world filled with countless colourful farming and cooking games for PC and mobiles – most of which have either the word ‘frenzy’ or ‘mania’ in their titles. The Kindeman Remedy falls into the same genre but is the polar opposite, commencing with a warning screen for its graphic content, while also featuring a morally dubious – although intriguing – premise. Those hooked on Farm Frenzy are probably going to go through life blissfully unaware of The Kindeman Remedy’s existence; it’s for a very discerning audience."
Review: Suikoden fans will no doubt enjoy Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, as well as those who simply appreciate old-school JRPGs.
Turtles unite! Wrath of the Mutants brings the shelled foursome back to all formats with a shiny arcade release. But is it cowabunga or cow pat? JDR orders pizza for today's review.
You guys need to just start sending me a regular paycheck for these blogs. (seriously, i need a job...)
Thanks a ton! Now I get to play Ni No Kuni AND Metal Gear Rising!
