Don't you find that when you've got a good reveiw to post in ukreveiws.com it's either been given an award by SR therfore you cant post it or the game doesn't even exist in the database, like I found out when I wanted to post something there today.

Anyway here's the idea, it would be good if you could add the game to the database yourself if it's not there. You can to it in ukcheats.com so why not ukreveiws.com.

And why is there a 4,000 word limit if you wanted to post an exstensive reveiw you couldn't post the original you'd have to shorten it then it's just not the same is it?

If Special reserve don't stock the game, what's the point in them having reviews for it?

But what's the matter with reveiwing it.

There's no harm in having the game in the reveiw database.

I think it's because who wants to read a long review, so keeping it short will entice more people into reading it, also when they choose for Game a Day winners they don't want to slog through reams and reams of text so with it being shorter makes it easier to get through.

One slight problem, if they the review is that good, people will want it, therfor making them spend their hard earned cash on it elsewere instead of on SR's stock.

But if SR don't have it, I doubt shops like Game or EB will.
