Last week, in my opinion, was a pretty good start to the Sporcler's Review. So now, I bring you week two. You, the viewers of this blog, have voted on the best quiz of last week, and now there is a definite winner. From the category of Just For Fun, MrChewypoo has won with Defuse the Bomb, receiving 78% of the general vote. I very much enjoyed this quiz; very fun to play, and I'm glad the audience saw that too. The runner up was gwukelic with Fraction Frustration, receiving the remaining 22% of the vote.
This week, similar to last week, was very good in the User Created realm. It was filled with innovative quizzes the likes of which I have never seen before. I played a classic Windows game, Sporcle style, and played two great quizzes involving Legos. Unfortunately, only one of them could make the list. Here are my picks for the week of February 20-27.
Geography: Map the Caribbean - diving
History: Speed Dating - hscer
Just For Fun: Minesweeper - puckett86
Science: Baby Beasts 2 (pics) - sufradley
Sports: Speed NBA History - FarmerBob
Pop Culture: Movies by Lego (pics) - FearTheManatee
Remember to vote on which one will gain the title of best of the week. And also, I'm introducing a new feature this week: question of the month. March's question - "If you could be the editor of any Sporcle category, which would it be?" Leave your answer to that question in the poll to your right. Thanks for reading.

Hello World! - Feb. 13-20, 2011
I would like to introduce you all to The Sporcler's Review. I am a huge fan of Sporcle, especially geography quizzes, and I thought it would be a good idea to share my weekly picks for the best User Created quizzes for certain categories, and then have you, the reader, vote on which one gets the title of "Best User Created Quiz of the Week." The categories I have chosen to accurately represent the majority of quizzes are: Geography, History, Just For Fun/Miscellaneous (shortened to Just For Fun), Science, Sports, and Pop Culture (a combination of Entertainment, Literature, Movies, Television, Music, and Gaming).
This week was chock-full of great quizzes in the User Created arena; I read great poetry about our nation's leaders, was frustrated out of my mind by fractions, and I saved everyone from a bomb and became a hero. So, without further ado, I present my picks for the week of February 13-20.
Geography: Microstate Profiles - lukebradford
History: US President by Haiku Part 1 - smreidy113
Just For Fun: Defuse the Bomb - MrChewypoo
Science: Fraction Frustration - gwukelic
Sports: NFL Rushing Quarterbacks (since 2000) - cdhmiamifan13
Pop Culture: What Watson Got Wrong on Jeopardy - smreidy113
My congratulations go to smreidy113 for making the list twice - that wasn't intentional; I guess I just really enjoyed his quizzes this week. And be sure to vote on which one of these fine quizzes is the best of the week.
