This message is aimed at the Gameaday choosing people, as I have been doing some research - well happened to find out that the 'member' 'Simpo' has been copying reviews from another source - I say this because I submitted my Daytona USA review this morning (about 1am) and noticed that the day before (30th of May) Simpo had posted an excellent review of Daytona USA. 'Hang on' I thought, 'hadn't I seen this before?' And indeeed I had. It's on another reviews site, a really superb review of the game, that could have won gameaday today, however I asked the reviewer on the other site and he tells me that he has not posted his review anywhere else and thus there is a copier on the site, so please do not select that review for GAD. I have evidence to support my truths also.

hank you for your time. I truly believe that Dan (M16)'s post about PS2 not being as good as the GameCube is teh best contribution of yesterday, but then I do not select the winners. Just letting you know of my discovery. If you need to see the evidence as you may feel that review is worth GAD, then please do not hesitate to email me at [email protected]

Well spotted, thanks for that.
His review hasn't won, and I've passed on this information about him to the others involved with GAD and FAD.

He got it from IGN. IGN do better reviews than any of the ones submitted to this site.

Well, the original person for this review has not a clue about this site, and thus shouldn't win the game, should ut be chosen - as it doesn't seem Tony, nor any staff member is here today! However. You are exactly right. Disgusting.

Copying reviews is a total disgrace. Anyone who does it should be ashamed. Just think it's the same as stealing if you did win one then the game or film is not rightly yours it is the original author's so your are stealing the game/film that they deserve.

People who copy you know who you are and you will get caught so DONT DO IT!
