The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Gameaday is being reverted to one prize per day, commencing tomorrow.
The prize will be issued for the best Review. For the time being there will not be any prizes for cheats, chat, walkthroughs etc.
"Yaa Boo", I hear you say. But you have had a good run with three prizes a day. We are what we are, and that's Gameaday.
So, are the chat prizes and cheats prizes gone forever?
Not on your Nelly.

I bet we get lots of noobish members asking why GAD1 hasn't been updated all week :D

And my support you have had - and if you get round to opening a shop in Ipswich - we could do with a decent games shop here - you would have more...
I think it is fairer that it is only given out for reviews this time...as it both promotes SR products, and doesn't get people moaning that they lost after typing up a 10,000 word essay to someone posting 6 cheats.
> Now we'll really see who's here just for the free games...
ME! But I'll still be here anyhow. Trouble is I've reviewed every game and piece of hardware in my collection, including a fantastic 800-word indepth review of a Sony 8MB Memory Card. (That took some doing).

True enough, we would appreciate your support. Buy hey, promotions are never never-ending.

Dark Mark sees the Bright Side.
The post should have read.

Be prepared for one lined reviews and less appearances from many members on the forums...
Meanwhile, I'll happily build up some ideas for when the summer slowdown is over (reminds SR that sales of Zelda, Hitman 2, Skies of Arcadia, etc are bound to be high).
