While millions of people in the US had a long Thanksgiving weekend of tryptophan mania (tryptomania!) and Black Friday deals, the folks at insani ran the al|together 2008 festival which heralded the release of a new English translated freeware visual novel with each passing day. Six visual novels are interesting enough, but equally interesting are the analysis and peer review that accompany each one. Even if you have no intention of downloading any of these games, I encourage you to go through the site to see a combination of eloquence and passion (and R-type references!) that isn't often seen in the world of Japanese to English fansubbing.

Also, if the only thing keeping you from trying anything out is time, get Crimsoness. It's 3 minutes long. It's amazingly ridiculous. And it's the best novel game: "EVAR."
