Let me begin with an apology, I'm sorry there isn't more information in these 
scores, but I really did have everything typed out all nice and neat with 
comments and everything, when suddenly my computer crashed.  As such, I'll just 
be leaving a short comment for each game now, not for each judging category.  
Onward!

Comment:     Most of the score hits come from the game being unfinished.  Nice 
	     game with a disappointing "end".

Comment:     Not only is this a joke entry, but it's a joke entry that was 
	     submitted LAST YEAR.  I have no desire to actually rate this game.

Comment:     Use of the Xenogenesis title screen immediately earmarks this one 
	     for the garbage.

Comment:     Eck, who submits stuff like this.  There's basically nothing good 
	     I can say about it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-= 30275 =-= FAILED =------------------------------= DISQUALIFIED =-= 000/300 =-
Comment:     No actual game, and what is there bears apparently no relevence to 
	     either theme.  I can't give this any rating.

Comment:     Nice game, plot is a bit thin, medicine is less of a theme and 
	     more just a plot device.

Comment:     This game didn't really work, pure and simple.  I couldn't do 
	     anything, and had to make judgments based on looking over the file 
	     itself.

Comment:     What could have possibly made twenty minutes of repetitive cinemas 
	     seem like a good idea?  Did you think you were being funny, or 
	     were you actually trying for excessively lame?

Comment:     The gameplay worked pretty well once you figured it out (albeit 
	     the instructions in the beginning told you to do the OPPOSITE of 
	     what worked).  However, little plot is here, and I don't see how 
	     this has any relation to the theme whatsoever, beyond the word 
	     equilibrium in the intro.  Is that Chrono Trigger I hear?

-= 51929 =-= The Herb of Tridia =----------------------= MEDICINE =-= 133/300 =-
Gameplay:    20/65

Plot:	     25/50
Theme:	     20/45
Innovation:  15/40
Discretion:  10/15
Music:	     15/30
Sound:	     03/05
Subtotal:   133/300
Comment:     First part of the game is too dark to see, impossible to fight 
	     enemies or see walls to tell where to go.  Half-hearted plot, and 
	     a cop out on the boss fight make this a pretty mediocre game.

-= 64966 =-= All in a Day's Work =---------------------= MEDICINE =-= 162/300 =-
Gameplay:    35/65

Comment:     Cool engines, gameplay mechanics, but the whole thing feels more 
	     like an excuse to show off some cool programming stuff than an 
	     actual game under the theme.

 * Note: As explained to me by Exo, the weight ranking is based on the judge's 
	 own subjective opinion of the game, not their absolute score before
	 weighting.  Scores have been readjusted accordingly.  If this is not
	 satisfactory, there is enough information here to recalculate them
	 according to whatever is the correct standard.
