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. :(
Life's a b***h. Now shut up
"What we could do is assign a member who is willing (staff, notable, regular,newbie alike) one site to look at, the staff e-mail them and say, we think this review deserves to win, go and look on your assigned site to see if it has been copied. Once all of the moderators (or whatever we call them, gaderator??) have returned with their findings, the person is either awarded the GAD or punished!!"

This site is fun... we don't want to turn it into virtual community service... I would be one of the first people to leave if this were to happen... not because I cheat, which I don't, but because it would spoil the whole thing.... not many cheaters win... and some that do are caught... a system where we catch them would be good but if it means ruining the site then most 'oldies' will be off!

Sorry I started writing the post before your one came

No it didn't!!!
So we can't win for putting cheats in?!
I no longer think so, Tony said something about freegifts?
It will be someone who doesn't make any appearence in the forums and just copies and pastes a review hoping to win, to come back the next day and see his name up, or someone who wins once then disappears back to the other random sites where s/he came from... never to return.
Why was it last week a film won when it was released teo years ago and within the review it said 'this will definetely win a few awards this year!'....
