"EXTRA EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE (October 2001 Magnetism)"

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

good point. i didn't think of that.

it wont me by saturday.it will be done in a week or more. sometimes they take about a month, they put a lot of thort into it, and its not the only thing they have to do.

tick tock, tick tock

all we can do is wait........

and chat!

your better off asking staff members....as for the winner, just have to wait and see.

I actually examine adverts, so there's proof that some people do. The problem is a good advert doesn't usually make me want to buy anything, it's only if I think the product would be good that I will. That's why I don't have Mechwarrior 4 (yet at least) and why I never bought that new Dune game. Oh and I hate PS2 adverts because they are too annoying, so some adverts may convince me not to buy things even if they don't convince me to actually buy things. What they really need is a review. Write to PC Gamer and tell them to do a story on the forum. Of course they probably wont since they have a forum of their own.

So who's getting this prize and will their idea actually be used?
