Okay, an absolute torrent of entries for this one, it too ka good couple of hours to read them all, and I had to kill several trees for the paper to print them all out, so no moaning about the winners.

Winner of a game of his choice - mickey, for his suggestion of a 'Gameaday Receipt' idea, of which many of you suggested, but mickey got their first. Well done, mickey.

Runners up prize of a DVD of his choice goes to Aliboy, for his 'Santa' idea. It's well put and a nice festive idea, so it's definitely worthy of a prize. Congrats.

Thanks to everyone for all your entries, we read them all and found them to be very useful. Peace out, and complaints to the usual address. Cheers

Ali

PICTURE OF INSIDE OF A SHOPPING CENTRE

The search for the perfect internet shopping site for Christmas ends here.

Prices that won't make you scream,
Friendly customer support that know what they are doing,
Assistance where needed,
No queues,
Free transport there,
Free delivery,
And a place to chill out with endless amounts of competitions and discussion boards to engage in conversation within.

UKGAMES.COM
Directions: Click on your internet browsers address bar and type in the address above. Then relax.
Christmas is going to be a perfect one.

Explanation:
I thought since Xmas is coming up and you will be probably cashing in more than ever, one advertising your site for christmas would be perfect in making more money.

When people go for XMas shopping they get exhausted. THey have to wait in long queues, crowded areas and at the end of the day are absolutely exhausted.

I thought you could describe the perfect Xmas shopping paradise and then say its UKgames.com.

The directions to the shopping mall I thought would be quite humourous and make the advert not seem that dry.

I also finished with some appealing sentences "Christmas is going to be a perfect one".

I feel this advert would make Special Reserve's online shopping sound brilliant and bring in the customers.

Uh oh! I'm writing as it's an English commentary!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..etc..!
