Votes are still kinda trickling in, but when they slow down just a bit more, I'll name a date. And yeah, I'm personally wondering why everyone's updating their entries and fixing bugs AFTER the deadline. Don't bother uploading the old versions, just no one do it again.

Votes haven't even been coming in too regularly. Barely trickling. The only real people who voted were the ones who were in the contest. I wish more people would vote. It's bad enough there weren't that many entries. But more voters would make up for it.

I think if we had a deadline set, it would inspire people to get their voting done quicker. So maybe you should make a deadline Gizmog. Just an idea. Because the voting for this is very sad.

I would have voted, but...

I can't beat Run Run Zombie Revolution. Or even get past the first stage.

Final Fantasy H-2 has some sort of horrible bug in it that seems to make me skip over a huge part of the story and kill me painfully.

Once I've beat those two games, I can assure you all, I'll vote.

Alright then. The deadline for voting is: November 14. That's 5 days from now, so hurry up (And hope I remember about this.)

Awesome, it's about time a deadline was made. Anyways, isn't CP still gonna give the winner an official Bob the Hamster wall clock? Just wondering anyways. I thought I heard about it somewhere.

As far as I know, Inferior Minion's still going to give a clock to the winner, or winners.

Good, I made it! You should thank me, because:

A) I made a difference.
B) I like being thanked. I don't get a lot of it, anywhere. Crying

Ahem.

Pitch Black-
Fun: 8 Creativity: 10 Scary: 8

Okay, so the ending was a letdown in terms of scariness, and it took me forever to find the bathroom, but damn, was it ever entertaining to play. Wandering around a pitch black mansion, constantly jumpy for chances in the music...great, great job guys.

Halloween Quest-
Fun: 7 Creativity: 5 Scary: 0

A very solid entry. Not screamingly wonderful, but Red made use of believeable characters, a decent plot, and entertaining battles. Too bad there's like, a battle every two steps, or this would have scored much higher on the fun rating. Looking forward to Halloween Quest 2 next year.

Run Run Zombie Revolution-
Fun: 2 Creativity: 7 Scary: 3

A great concept for a game. Too bad as far as I know, no one can get past the second level... The music sent shivers up my spine, great work, Setu. Hawk, if you had expanded this into a full game, it would have been amazing. As it stands, RRZR was simply too buggy for me to really enjoy. I never once hit the first arrow, because it showed up so fast and randomly.

Final Fantasy H-2
Fun: 3 Creativity: 4 Scary: 0

I know you got sick and all Fenrir, but yeesh. This game simply wasn't ready to be released. Empty towns, a script that was awful at best, (STOP FUSKING WITH MY HEAD! No, no, no...

;

made for a game that I seriously didn't enjoy. Hoping the next release is loads better.

Finally. After playing through all of the games (except all of FFH2) I have come down to this list:

Haloween Quest: Funness: 10 (I liked it so much I wasnt discouraged to start back four bosses when I died without saving.)
Creativity: 9 (Tricks and treats, and learning abilities from candy is right up thre with FLCLs stuff coming out of the head bit.)
Scarey: 2 (A fair rating considering that this was probobly a satire of haloween celebration.)

I liked the cameos a lot. Fairly creative way to add them, indeed. The game was intriguing more than it was scarey, but the grafics were well done, and the battles well balanced (as far as I am concerned). I liked the story. The end scene (which I wont ruin for those who havent played it yet) surprised me!

Run, run ZR!!!1: Funness: 8 (decent game play, the second boss was a little difficult, and even the first boss took me a few tries to beat.)
Creativity: 7 (Where did the people all go? Naw, dont tell me...)
Scarey: 5 (I have experienced a similar feeling of lonliness when I am home alone. And Setus songs were creepy)

This game was fun enough to play several times! I even came back to it the next day saying, YAY! RUN RUN ZOMBIE REVOLUTION TIME! I often act like a loony, but not about games as much, so kudos! The bosses were difficult to beat. I still dont know how I got past that secondone. The save scroll doesnt work; I think; and the opening scene can get obnoxious (that wasnt spelled right) However, the game was fun enough, I didnt really mind too much.

Pitch Black: Funness: 7 (I liked the game design, and that always tickles me into giving high scores.)
Creativity: 8 (The idea of a new girl going on a dare, and ending up haveing to save her new friends with only her flashlight was a classic idea with a nice little twist.)
Scarey: 5 (Yes, it was creepy to go into that house when I couldnt even see my menu screen.)

I liked this game. I only played it once though. Personally I think the flashlight being on was scaryer than it being off, except that I felt uncomfortable, and all the bumping into walls, and SPIKES! Errr... This was a good idea though.

FFH2: Funness: 7 (It was so fun, that I forgot how fun it was, so I played it again.)
Creativity: It was very creative, but this coming from the mind of one who hasnt even played through a single FF game in his life.)
Scarey: No. But I somehow got accidentally sucked into a world of blood and bones. I dont know how it happened, but I guess it was... Aww read the review below.)

This game looks professional. I wouldnt be surprised if it was. (It was?!) I heard Fen was sick when he made it though. *Gasp* Did great considering sickness and all! When I heard the songs for the town and the themes, I was all WOA! I didnt want to leave the town at all! Then again, I found a bug where the hero for the wizard that sorrow turns into has a total of 0 HP. I am sure this game is unfinnished, and undeveloped a little. Considering that Fenrir was sick when it was made, I give great Kudos, and 5 points to Fenrir. Still, I cannot deny that this wasnt the the best game on the list. (That is all for now)

PS: Ill try to enter next year.
