I was reading my friends review of Turok Rage Wars, which for good reasons (it's a good review) won Gameaday on 16/10/01, and noticed the review after, for the 18/10.01 (the day Mark's win was announced) was very very similar.

I'm not saying it was a direct copy, but the structure is very similar, especially when Mark used the Fireborn's 3 skins as an example, and coincidentally, in Matthewetta's review, the same 3 skins were mentioned.

To be honest, I thought I was reading the same review again, apart from the sucking up to Special Reserve by trying to get people to join.

"So stop looking at the reviews and look up Turok Rage Wars in the search bar and by it from here." - Matthewetta

Ignore the poor spelling and read what it says. "Stop looking at the reviews," why? So you don't read Mark's review and notice it to be the same.

Adaptations of other peoples hard work does not make you a fair entrant. So to all those who even think about doing it, don't. Play the game fairly, and you'll be rewarded by the fact that someone else won instead of you because of their hard work turned out better than yours. Don't dishonour yourself by cheating. Anyone who cheats does not deserve the chance to win.

People probably do. I haven't at all for any of my reviews, but hey, some people need to cheat on here!

It's worse though when they make it as obvious as that though!

Isn't that what everyone does though?

You know, when writing stuff in a school project, don't you just take information out of the book and put it in your own words, rephrasing slightly what the book says?

If you are against this happening then don't go into the DVD forum where CyberMaster copied the entire review from another site and passed it as his own work. That isn't something to be proud of now is it?
