At 4:30pm every Thursday, we will be awarding a Gaming Award for a technical post - giving you another chance to win a free game (or a £30 Amazon voucher) each week!

Simply write up a (fairly) comprehensive guide or tutorial about how to do something technical and you will be in with a chance of winning. You can enter your submission at any time to be in with a chance of winning (not just on Thursdays).

If you submit after the deadline, then your submission will be considered in next weeks' competition.

If there are no submissions made, then the award will be donated to charity -- So get posting!!

Have a look at the previous (technical post) submissions to get an idea of what we're looking for.

Remember, you can win any game of your choice each week - submitting a technical post is one of the many ways to do so.

Congratulations to this week's winner.

Ghost Killer

For his submissions to the Gaming Reviews in general, in particular this little beauty

Tiger Woods 10

Closest one so far this time, which is great considering Tuesday's lack of entries.

As always my commiserations to the users who missed out, especially Chris who put a huge amount of effort in.

Just being picky here, we are aware of Pete's efforts with the Bargain Thread and looking at the GAD history I can see that he won an award at the end of the last year (this isn't to say that he might not win another one).

Although I may not comment on the thread frequently, I do look in there often for any good deals.

Keep up the good work :).

I think pete deserved a win for all his work in the bargain thread. Everyday, he submits more stuff, and asks nothing in return. So think of his GAD as a long overdue reward for constant posting :P (plus his 5 cheats :P)

Yes you do :P

Last week there was hardly any! Pete did well to win and I am not taking that away from him but winning with 5 submissions? (albeit very big submissions)

We are practically giving games away! Ha ha.

Doh! Ahh well there is always next week of course.

And it's not really a new deadline as such, more re thinking how to manage things. It should really have always been this way I think.

I can promise you this is not the case. The new methods of awarding Gaming Awards has mixed things up, and I considered your review within the "rules" we use.

Its all about contribution, if you want to win don't give us any choice but to choose you :D (Look at GhostKiller's latest Gaming Award for a hint on what I mean)

But it was near the end of April - so only about 6 weeks or so ago :¬P

I'm sure that's not the case!

Remember there are less wins available now, so there's more competition...

Although to be honest there was not a lot of entries this time. A couple of game reviews so it was actually a tough decision. Keep going all!

Howdy all,

Getiing in early this week to try and generate some form of entry. None of as yet. Not going to let the gamers get away with another win are you techies? (Although I think most techies on here are also the gamers, so really its gachies? Techmers? )

I'm not an FPS fan at all, however there's plenty of collectathon number crunching discovery RPG madness to make the brown and grey dystopia worthwhile.

Just definitely put the kids to bed before playing :)

EDIT: Congrats GhostKiller - a well-deserved win!

This week's winner.

GhostKiller, Congratulations

For...

Game Review -Grand Slan Tennis
Game Review- Rollercoaster Tycoon (Retro)
Game Review- Peggle (XBOX Arcade)

I however liked the GetDotted guide and tips, and colleagues thought Phuzzy's guide was incredibly decent as usual.

That's an excellent point. Choices... rant about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen... or go on and on and on about how immense Fallout 3 actually is?

Find out... when I get half an hour spare. Gargghh work.

Hi pb,
