This was the first year that [{{rgif|msgid=m3pqig4aeq.fsf@sargent.dyndns.org}} authors were routinely permitted to update games mid-competition], although a few mid-comp updates had been permitted by the organisers in previous years. (This occasioned [https://intfiction.org/t/the-first-round-of-game-updates-for-the-2011-if-competit/12303 much] [https://intfiction.org/t/should-next-years-if-comp-allow-intra-comp-updates/12095 discussion], but the practice was ultimately kept in the following years.)

'''SPOILER WARNING:''' the following links contain (potentially spoilery) reviews of games from this IF Comp. You might prefer to wait until you've played the games before reading them, if you intend to judge the competition and don't want to be influenced. You might also prefer to look at the similar lists on the individual IFWiki pages of the games, if you want to read only reviews of games you've already played.
