"GAD lost it?"

I don't like whinging, it ain't my style, and it's not sour grapes, I wasn't robbed of a GAD myself by it.

But this review ain't GAD material to me. I mean, the first paragraph doesn't even make sense.

I just got morrowind so was intrigued to read other peoples views on it. As this got a GAD I was reassured it'd be a good review. Nope.

I'm kind of ashamed of whinging, and I apologise to the writer of that review, but to me it's just plain pants. I would be interested to know what aspect of the review the GAD staff thought made it great.

That's it, no more ranting from me today.

No but if you have membership you put it in on the "edit yer details" page.

the only point it got across is that the guy has terrible grammar, can't spell, and likes the budweiser advert

I do see a degrade in the quality of GAD winning reviews nowadays, but, it doesn't mean that all reviews are bad.

Take fore instance the guy that won for said review. Althought terribly written, it does get the point across. So the fact remains, if it's a review that people can use to get the jist of the idea, then it;s worth GAD.

however, just cos you're a newbie doesn't mean you have no membership

interesting theory. these forum walls have eyes though you know. :D

A review of mine was beaten by a n00b who used text talk.

Dude, the GADs are been given intentionally to newbies with no SR membership so that they don't have to give a £50 game, only a £7 membership.

SR is going bust I think.
