TWINE Multiple PS2 & Dreamcast Cheats



This is getting ridiculous now.

We were told a good review would beat a discussion or a cheat. So why do the cheats keep winning? There have been PLENTY of superb reviews happening. This is crazy.

Who's with me?

Ban cheats from winning GAD, make a NEW competition.

By the way - no one has replied to my posts about the GBA - do I get a mains adaptor or not? This service is deteriorating. Diseconomies of scale.....
Also, why don't multiple reviews count? More cheats, more likely to win - I today have posted loads of massive, informative reviews of peripherals, so should they not stand a chance?

I was about to get annoyed, but then noticed your cynicism and the irony in your post. Damn cheats.

Eh?

By the way - note my mis-spelling, maybe SR will take notice: CHEETAWEEK.co.uk.

I have done about 32 reviews sniper - and submitted around 5 cheats. None of which appear.

I have won gameaday in the past, and been very pleased. I have also posted stuff I thought may have had a chance, but found that I haven`t won, and while I may have been a little annoyed, it never really bothered me. I`ve always thought - "Well, its not as if its my right, or that I deserve it etc...". Its nice to win, but when you don`t... never mind. Better luck next time.

However, I posted a ZOE review saturday, (the day the cheats won). This is more annoying than normal, but still, many of us that think we may have won if it weren`t for the cheats are wrong, because there was only ever going to be one winner, which probably wasn`t going to be me anyway.

So, I have decided never to let it bother me, and it doesn`t. I have won 9 times (FD and GD), so even if I never win again, I`ll still be really happy. I`m still having a good time on the discussions boards, I learn more and more everyday from PS2 owners such as Adrian and Wookiee Monster.

Even though I may be disappointed that the ZOE review didn`t win, I`d just like to say Thanks to SR for letting me win in the past, and for allowing me to use these discussion boards. I think it is absolutely great here. Everybody is really nice, and I often feel like I never want to leave.

Many thanks to Tony, Ali, Joe, and all the rest of the SR crew.

Hmmm. They don't even deserve that, hence CHEETAWEEK.CO.UK. Anyway, I hate cheating in games - it spoils them, and takes the effort out...much like submitting the cheat. No effort.
