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. :(
People you have been warned!

I agree that Kermit and Nikeboy should have there GAD taking away and even banned or given a warning for the devious ways.
For Game I dont think he did anything really wrong. As I have said before he had put the name of the site in brackets in the topic header, and the website address on the bottom of the post. SR could have picked it up but they didnt, I spose he could have wrote "This is not my work exclude from GAD" or something like that. IMO nothing should happen with Game, if he kept it GAD then that would be ok aswell.
I think it could be an idea if someone would email Tony or whoever and give the addresses where these copy reviews can be found. In the future it could be good if some of us or SR did a little bit of detective work to see if any GAD winners have posted copied reviews. I wouldnt mind having people check my reviews as I know that I have NOT copied anything from a website or magazine. Iam sure that most people wouldnt mind, as if you have nothing to hide you shouldnt care if it gets checked out.
Dam thats done allready. Er...not much can be done other than find out who is cheating and don't give them the game.
