So I'm looking for something to claim as my extra GAD prize up to £25 pounds and I look around this site at some reviews by users.

Most of them are either 10/10 or 9/10 and no lower then 8/10. Rarely do I see a game below 7. If I did find one rated that i would read that instead of the higher rating ones as I want an honest opinion on the game and it's bad and good points.

By reading these reviews every game comes across as perfect.

So what have I got out of looking at others reviews on this site? Not much at all.

Now if any of you would care to make some reccomendations I would be very happy. Gamecube, PS2, PC, Gameboy Advance.

And no Grix, unfortunatly 'Skies Of Arcadia' is more then £25.

Thats what I was thinking. :-) For £20 - £25, is there a better experience than landing on a Jap girls boobs and sucking them (without getting too carried away and getting splattered). ;-))

I did 2 reviews earlier this week and gave them both 7 out of 10. Got a GAD win from one of them too. :-)

I think GAD is the reason people rate games so highly. They think that saying a game is crap will go against them cause SR want to sell games and saying a game is poo could (in some posters minds) take away a sale SR could have had.

Thing is I remember seeing a post by a staff member recently that said they want honest reviews and saying a game is bad does not affect its chances of winning GAD - as long as you give the reasons why its a bad game, etc.

As for things to claim for a £25, hmmmmmmmmm, maybe Mr Mosquito on PS2 for a laugh, I've heard thats pretty cheap. ;-) I think SR do F-Zero on GBA for less than £25 too. Otherwise maybe look at the new DVD releases.

You can hear songs which you record in the studio but you are supplied with the songs, you don't just make them up. However you are able to alter the way the songs sound. There are lot of different songs to choose from which is pritty cool. The thing I like most about it... each of the characters have different views on things and each one of them react to different things you do. I haven't completed the gme yet but its wuite hard, 8 missions doesn't sound much but each one is packed full of things to do. Its a good game and I don't think you will be dissapointed with it. :)

If you can't find a game, look at the DVDs. You can get some damn good DVDs for 25 quid or under.

It is true every review on here is biased to the max, read proper game magazines to get the best reviews, or as i do play a game at my mates then get it if you like it.
