Key point this. The reason behind GAD is to provide information to the customers, not to give pleasure to the forum goers - keeping this in mind is always a good idea. It's no different to providing a review for a product on a website such as Amazon, but you're benefiting from it on the odd occasion.

[edit] They do? Heh, least I have nice rosey cheeks now :]

So basically they give one per day for the best review/walkthrough/cheats/chat post?

Yeah it does. They just choose all the reviews with "today's lucky number" of paragraphs in it. Then someone throws someting at them, and whichever one it lands on, that one wins.

As long as they contain all the detail you would think a

I say mostly don't bother about sound or graphics too much. In my experience, you want to talk about how it actually feels playing the game overall. Not just a list of stuff they could find off the back of the box.

That's the one, yus.
Dunno if cheats still count, though. Walkthrough do though. Reviews, obviously. And I won for a story a while back, so chat stuff as well.

Okay?

Cheats do still count because I remember smv confirming that just a short while back but I've never seen anybody win with them.

Up above, down below, you're too slow. To the side. Or something.

High-Five!

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
