The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
I think these rules have been brought in recently cos some people are regulars but have only posted 120 or so times. (like you said!)
Have a look at the previous winners list to get an idea of what goes down with the judges and what does'nt.
Hope that helps
(hehe, im sure this counts as spam)

You can win a game by submitting reviews or cheats or walkthroughs to the site.
You can also win a game by posting a interesting or funny post in any of the forums, or by posting a good reply to an existing post. The best way to win this way is to post something different. There's been hundreds of console wars posts, for example.
It's probably a good idea to go to www.gameaday.co.uk, then click on either Prize 1, Prize 2, or Prize 3. This will bring up a list of the most recent winners. This links to their winning post, so you can have a look at the sort of thing that wins.
