I have found evidence of people copying reviews from another site. Once again the person in question is Kermitboy. His microsoft train simulator review on 28/6/01
has a remarkable simularity to one i found on the game power website. www.*********************.com, i tried to paste the URL here but when you used it it would not link to the site.

I don't know if Tony is aware of this or not, as the review has not been removed from the site.

Thanks for reading.

I reckon that it is wrong for somebody to copy other peoples reviews for they have worked hard to write those reviews and have effort into making them for the benefit of others and not for some other person to steal their ideas for reviews!

Don't know. You've brought it to the attention of the staff so it's up to them now.

Well done for spotting it though!

My review of Train Sim was all my own work, as was my Jaws review.

I checked, here is what the author is called-- Marc Dultz

The site says "With more than 20 years of gaming under his belt, Marc Dultz is the former executive editor/associate publisher of Computer Games Strategy Plus magazine."

I will eat my hat if this is Kermit boys review.

Could it just be that he submitted the review to that other site as well?

He may just have written the review for that site, changd it slightly and put it up on here as well.
