The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
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

people will think that they are smarter than a monkey (yeah right) and go to the site hoping to win, when they're there they will enter cheats, reviews and posts and also start to buy things,and maybe even join the club.

How about this...
A actual game that has something to do with SR. For example...
Sammy Reserve had never won gameaday before. The idea of winning excited Sammy so he decided to write a review to see if he could win. He spent ages writing this review but just as he had finished a evil person named Pro Evo stole the review and tore it up!You have to help Sammy go around finding pieces which make up the review he wrote. Once all the pieces are found Sammy can enter GAD and have a chance of winning. The more succesful you are the more your chance of winning is. By being succesful (completing levels in a fast time) you earn a weapon. The more succesful you are the more weapons you get. At the end of the game you must fight the GAD master. You can use your weapons to beat him with but the more weapons you have the easier it is. Once you complete the game Sammy becomes a GAD winner. A FMV appears showing past GAD winners(Me, CDouch, PB ect)in a room called the hall of fame. Sammy enters the hall of fame and a statue is made in his honour to be placed there. Then large writing appears saying 'You helped Sammy.. Now it's YOUR turn. Visit www.ukgames.com for more info.' If you get people who can't be bothered to complete the game and get to this bit then you could have something at the game over/demo exit screen saying 'You may not have helped Sammy, but theres no reason why you can't win GAD. Visit www.ukgames.com for more info.'
This could be made into a little game that is on PC Gamer, opsm2 or another mags demo disk. If not you could display the story in a cartoon strip format on a advert.

How about splat the Snuggly.
you could have a banner on a web site where a picture of snuggly runs from left to right, people have to click on him and splat him with a red SR splat.once hes hit it takes you to SR.
it could say splat the snuggly and win a video game of your choice.when you hit him it takes you to the gameaday page.
HOW ORIGINAL IS THAT
