Being quite keen to make sure my hard earned cash isn't wasted on below standard games, There are a few review sites which I will visit before making a purchase from special reserve. One of these sites being situated in the US. Imagine my dismay at finding one reviewer here cutting and pasting the reviews from that website directly to this website without even changing a word.
The culprit:

TRIPLE_H.

Checkout some of the reviews such as Baldurs Gate or Jak and Daxter.
This is obviously a ploy to flood the site with as many reviews as possible (written by proffesional reviewers I might add) to see if he/she can sneak off with a couple of free games.
Well, you've been rumbled!! You should hold your head in shame.
C'mon put your OWN words in the review and give us all a chance.

Now, I dont know wether Triple H has copied or not...

Although, the reasons given so far are all pretty lame ... a prank by a family member?!?! - what?

I tried to take a look at the PS2 Baulders Gate review... but it seems the good folks at SR have removed the offending article?

However the Jak and Daxter review is still up, and taking a look at the two, both are EXCATLY the same...

SR Jak & Daxter :

Game-Revolution Jak and Daxter addy :
http://www.game-revolution.com/games/ps2/action/ jak_and_daxter.htm


(dont forget to remove the space)

...

Although its obviously final judgement is up to SR.. I suspect that the result will be that both articles will be removed, but Triple-H will stay a memeber (he doesnt seem to have been banned so far?)

Dont think I didnt notice that some of the posts saying that 'its not our decision', that 'no one should judge' or that 'he shouldnt have posted the complaint in the forums', were posted by people who have themselves publically outed copied reviews in the past :) ... Made me laugh... Good Stuff! :)

:0P


I am not going to admit anything simply because I did not do anything wrong! Now I didn't exactly say that my mates did it, I said that it was a possibility. I havnt got a clue who may have done it and I am being honest.

You obviously have a right to your own opinion but as you said people should win GAD's with their own work. Which is exactly what I have done during my staying here. As I said I dont have to cheat to win.


I do not want to be banned for something that I didnt do. and the thing that bemuses me is how can you say that Ive cheated when you dont even know me. Its no good just accusing someone who you never spoke to in your life. I hope that people who know me better understand that I wouldnt cheat and try and win a GAD.

But as I said tomorrow everything will be decided

I believe you.
I don't see the proof to accuse you.

And maybe your mountain goat returned to the mountain.
Try calling 'goatboy!'

shut up

Come on Mystique, lay off Santa Claws. If you're good this year, he may just give you a present for Xmas. Only kidding m8.
Not that it's any of my concern, but is there a reason for you to say that to Santa Claws. He won for the first time and after so long. Unless of course, you're joking, but then again, I can't exaclty see any expression in your words to know that you are joking or not. Were you not happy when you won *your* 1st GAD?
