Yea edgy was it hard winning 27 times, how many did you win with reviews.
You must have typed an awful lot of reviews up.

Dark Mark and I have written our own seperate reviews on our own website. Though most are too long to be included in the Special Reserve forums, we have tried to keep them to as high a quality as possible. [URL]www.lorl.co.uk/reviews/reviews.htm[/URL]
Read through them as some examples as to what to include and what not, but my best advice would be to click down the winners list on the Gameaday page and read some actual winners.
Note: Copying of reviews onto ukreviews is not permitted. So don't try copying our own work.
Points to include in reviews on ukreviews: Why do you actually enjoy the game? What made it worthwhile for you?
You need to say what you liked and disliked about it. Try not to say some of the stereotypical stuff such as "This gayme is kiddie so don't play it" and so on - that doesn't help people choose games on SR.

Edgy, since you have won many prices and know what makes a good review, can you let me know?
I have been trying to win games for ages, I have posted many reviews which I thought werent that bad; But something seems to be missing which is avoiding any more GAD's.

and the fact that for about the first 4 or 5 months they pretty much refused to let anyone win twice!

It's just a coincidence that he's won 41 and written 41 reviews, he's won many for other reason like threads etc.
They use to have 2 GAD and 1 DVD in one day for awhile. Or was it a cheaper game I can't remember. I'm sure you could win lots if you studied it. How many reviews/walkthrough are submitted each day, has someone posted a big thread that might win it, or perhaps a decent walkthrough. If you submit them later in the day atleast then you'll be aware of the other competition.
Awhile ago it was a lot easier to win because there were so many but now I get the impression some people can't be bothered anymore. If SR are going to do competitions they shouldnt have them run for so long especially for just a game.
I would suggest they make Monday a competition day, a week is enough to do whatever is needed. Atleast it should encourage more people to do something constructive. Or maybe just something simple that everyone even those unfortunate enough not to have an talent can take part. If you look at the list a good few of places are filled by the same people especially Rickoss and Disco Dexy, well done to them of course :)

My wins total eleven, from walkthroughs, cheats and one extra Gameaday, with second place the UKCheats bonanza.
And Kernel- I advise that you write walkthroughs as well, seeing as one of decent length will equal a win. Plus, for reasons of correction, Meka's wins are mostly through the well worded articulate topics he starts.

Have a look at mine. I bet you cant even find them.

You lot are champions, I have only won once, although Im trying to win another one.
Can any one give me some advices on a good review, I only won once and that was partly luck.
Have you noticed the Meka Dragon has posted 41 reviews and won them all!
A bit suspicious isn't it? Or he could just be talented.
