I want put my signature to everything you said.
I am glad that I participated - I learned a lot as a 3D graphic designer. I am glad I could see how tough is to get a good evaluation. Also, I was shocked how much people who were making games were crying to get some review, and how many dishonest people rated games that they didn't play (e.g. "This game is great! The sound is amazing!" - in the game at which authors themselves apologize for not including any sounds at all). Of course that the "top games" that won aren't top. It's life. I am disappointed that we got low evaluation but I am not discouraged from making games at all. This was a very good experience.
