Upcoming map 31 August 2002 Hellscrag

More second opinions from Mr. Prophet 24 August 2002 Hellscrag
The quality of our Custom Map Reviews area continues to grow with several new second opinions posted on existing reviews. Mr. Prophet has provided his thoughts on Hexephet, Legacy, Nali Grail, Operation Na Pali and Strange World. In addition, MMAN UGITU felt moved to comment on his own review of Jiganara Kingdom with the wisdom of hindsight. All in all, worth a read.
More major review happenings 23 August 2002 Hellscrag
Further to yesterday's launch of the new and improved Custom Map Reviews section, I took the time today to write two new map reviews - these are of Thirteen Mutants for Unreal and Nali Grail for Unreal Tournament. I would also like to welcome Mr. Prophet to the UnrealSP.Org team - he has joined up in order to contribute "second opinions" to several of the maps reviewed on the site. To kick things off, he has commented on Attacked!, Invasion and Jiganara Kingdom. You can find the reviews concerned in the usual section.
Custom Map Reviews section overhaul 22 August 2002 Hellscrag
I have now completed a total overhaul of the way the Custom Map Reviews section is laid out. The front page of the section should now be much more interesting to look at, and download links have been moved from the review front page to within the review pages themselves. The review pages too have had a slight overhaul, and I have added my own comments to all maps reviewed by other team members. What I did intend to do was to add at least one more review, but I didn't manage to do this. I did, however, find temporary hosting for The Landing, so none of our reviewed maps are currently unavailable for download.

Dead link fixed 12 August 2002 Hellscrag
