I have read the "Rules" and "How to win" pages on the website's main page. It says that you must be creative, making your work original and something that will make people buy the product. But the funny thing is, everyone's work is rather good. Isn't it quite hard, considering how competitive it must be to win? I mean, the company say it's real easy, but when it comes down to it...it's seems very hard.

Is this true, or am I wrong for saying so?

I would really appreciate anyone's help, please.

Thank you all.

One idea - don't take Mystique's advice.

Console Wars topics hardly ever win - especially when they're two lines thick and sounding like "Nitnenddo iz crap, PlaStartion Too kiX itz arz" but if they're good then you never know.

Mystique has a shrine in her room dedicated to her.

So beware...

The only advice I can offer is similar to the others. Don't type a post with a view to simply winning.

The BEST way of being in with a serious chance is to write about something you feel strongly about and have something personal to put into the post. It's best if you can write about a subject which you have a personal experiance in (e.g my post regarding EA's lack in vision) and get as much of "your" feelings in as possible.

Simply relaying facts doesn't help anything. It's about our own thoughts and feelings on the industry, so you should write for the want to write about these topics, rather than for the want to win.

You probably would beat me - I'm not ashamed in admitting I've only got a hypered up Beetle in the garage and only 3% through the game - I'm just waiting for a rainy day, when everything I need to do, is done.

So then...

Let's sell GT3...

You can only lose something that you try to win.

That is so true, because when you want something, you will never get it. More like...let the mountain come to you.

They even say that you get things when you least expect them. Well then, in that case...I'm going to make so many reviews, cheats, the lot, and expect no win. That way...I will win.

How's that - (laughs)

But seriously though, thank you for the info misterhappy. It does sound like a great idea, and something I am capable of.

Cheers man.

Its easy

It's not easy. You have to put a lot of effort in, whilst continually not thinking about winning a game.
