Sorry Kermitboy and Game, but I have revised my opinion and have come to a new conclusion. Their GADs should be taken away!!
After I stumbled upon Games GAD i found it quite amusing, but also was worried that it may cause some untruthful GAD attempts from all corners. What have I uncovered, a seedy trail of GAD winners who I do not believe for a second have the articulate prowess to write a proper sentence never minad a coherent argument or review!!!
Kermitboy, sorry to do this but, I think SR may wish to read this review http://www.gamezone.com/ gamesell/p11761.htm. You may find it is word for word exactly the same as Kermitboy's!!! Casa Nova has also written a good review of Extermination, but again I am highly suspicious and if anyone knows where the original can be found, post it.
I am all for the freedom of speech etc. but I am not willing to sit back and watch decent articles written by the likes of DAN2K1, not win because of people blatantly cheating. I know Game didn't do this, and SR made the mistake on that one, but the reviews are beyond the joke. Just read a few of them, especially by newbies and very few are capable of such a professional standard!!
I am shocked and appauled that such a decent scheme is being so blatanty ripped off by these vultures and I am quite sure SR will feel the same. Decent honest people put hours into writing really good posts and thene inarticulate wasters come along and use the copy and paste function to get a free game!!!
I am truely disheartened!!!
Bonus. :(

I didn't even realise he had won for his f1 2001 review!!
YOu're all gonna hate me for this, probably, but the GADs that are definitely illegitimate should be given to another hospital along with a GBA - much like what happened at Christmas.
Actually no, they should be given to another contribution.
BUT, I do think that this summer there should be a TWO week period where members CAN give their prize to the hospital or something where children have nothing to do all day, stuck missing out on Summer.

I have always written what I think. That's probably why I haven't won.
Might I remind you all of a little word called copyright or even in these cases plagiarism. It is ilegal to try and use someone elses work as your own. I know that GAME said it was copied from a site, but how many others do this and it dosn't get noticed??
If the real author was to find out you could be taken to court and heavily fined.
Can you win GAD using someone elses information even if you say where you got it from??

READ THIS:
I looked up the last few reviews that could be contended for Gameday.
First there was Fifa 2001 which was written by serpant 2. I copied a bit into yahoo and to my surprise (not really a surprise) it was copied straight from cheatindex.com and a bit of his/her own.
The next down the list was Escape from Monkey island. Unless this person worked for a magazine or the industry there is no way in hell he/she could have reviewed a game so technically and so fluently.
Then there was my Krazy racers review which WAS not copied and Edgy's reviews of Tony Hawks and the Gameboy advance, it was clear that these were self written.
It's easy to find cheats, it only takes a few minutes to read the review see. These people should be banned and should not be allowed to carry on copying and pasting reviews. I don't think SR check regularly enough

I really do hope that Kermit for sure gets his GAD taken away as he didnt even put at the top of the review that it was from a site. He copied and pasted and would have got away with it.
On the other hand with The Games post he actually put in the topic and at the bottom of the post the name of the website and the address. Most people would see this and think, oh its a article from the website. SR gave him the GAD as they didnt relise that he had just copied an aritcle. But in all fairness The Game did put a small warning message and I think if he did keep his GAD win I wouldnt mind as its down to SR not relising that it was from a website.
But Kermit copied and pasted the review and won for 1 minute of work. He didnt put a message saying "From this site" or whatever.
I personally spend time posting some pretty good topics and the occasional review when I have time. I have won once for GAD for my first review. I spend time writing the review and making sure it reads well and that there are no spelling mistakes. I can spend 30-45 mins writing the review. I dont expect to always win GAD but if I came second to a post or a review that had been copied and pasted then I would feel mad, and cheated out of a game but also some respect.
Losing to a person who has wrote the topic themselves is fine, as they are working as hard as you to write something good that could easily win.
I dont know how SR and us could stop the copy and paste winners from actually winning, apart from go through ever magazine and all the major game websites.

Everyone knows that you deserved it. I get why you didn't say that you did though. People would see you as big headed.
