Include anything to do with devil may cry here, as this will be the last one I make.

oh that must be kinda annoying!
No.
oh wat weren't you a proper platinum member then?
It's not fair. I posted 20 reviews without knowing that you had to give your name to win GAD. If I had put my name down I would have won at least once. ;-(
Wow wakka you have done 22 reviews and still haven't won once, I think I'll be heading in your direction mate.
hehe
hehe
oh good mav, I doubt it will win though, but ya never know because the gameaday winners list still is up to date, I'll probably find out if I have lost in a week or so as it should hopefully be updated then.
I never win. ;-(
Now that is a good review, did it win?
I posted it a few days ago so it can still win. It took 10 minutes to plan and 5 minutes to write.
Here's a review that I wrote quite early on in my SR life:
MANHUNT for PS2
One word can sum up Manhunt - sick. But its also great fun. From the first time you execute somebody using a plastic bag to the last level in which you have to kill Piggsy (a gigantic 8-foot mutated pig) and get his chainsaw. If you thought that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City deserved to be an eighteen then you'll be really surprised at this. It's sick and gruesome in moments when you get weapons such as the 'sickle'. You can slit open somone's stomach and watch the guts pour out and laugh. It is really scary in moments when you are getting chased by a gang and there is no where to hide. In those situations you just have to cry.
Usually levels are based around the fact that the sick, violent moviemaker Lionel Starkweather has cameras placed all around the places and you have to preform a sick murder in front of them. But why does Cash (the character you control) follow Starkweather's instruction? The answer is because the character, James Earl Cash was on death row and was killed but Starkweather mysteriously brings him back to life.
So during the game you have to preform life risking stunts, such as picking off the members of one of the gangs one by one. Because of this, the game is very exciting and extremely addictive. As well as executing a gang member (creeping up behind them and beheading them), you can also engage in combat. Usually they win, which is why I like to execute guys.
Its very hard to put this game under a genre. It could be under stealth (you have to make noise to attract gang members.) Or it could be under Horror but there aren't any ghosts and ghouls. The answer is, Manhunt is a genre on its own. To be honest, it rules. Most of the levels involve you running away from gangs or breaking into gang members' meeting places. But eventually Cash has had enough and he tries to break into Starkweather's mansion and kill him. I won't tell you how it ends though, you can find that out for yourself. :)
The weapons in the game are horribly amazing. They range from meat cleavers to chainsaws and are all diguisting. Later on in the game you will find guns such as the sniper rifles and Uzis. I must say, there is nothing more satisfying in that game than taking off three heads with one bullet with the assault rifle. It is a feeling that you'll never forget.
Aswell as all of this, there is lots of swearing and therefore I can say that nobody under 18 should buy it. The only other game that I can think of that uses the 'F' word half as much as Manhunt is The Getaway. And the amount of times 'b*****d' is said must be near 200. But if you are over eighteen or are very very mature then buy this game now. It will give you countless hours of fun and enjoyment. If you want to compare it to Vice City then I will say that Manhunt is a much darker, scarier experience full of greatness and gore. It deserves anyones 10/10 mark.
