Ali is human, he has to read all of these posts and reviews. If they're too long, he might not bother reading it.

Also, SR have the reviews on the site so people read them, and buy the games, so not too much critism that may put people off the games.

Also, Ali recently got his hands on a PS2, as a result, he likes to hear nice things about his shiny new machine.

Look at the recent winners list.

How many more are there from the PS2 forum, and regarding the PS2, than in previous months?

Even I won for a comment about chickens and eggs in the PS2 forum!

Write smart, not hard, and you'll win again.

....

(Dan emerges from the undergrowth after a lethal attack by Sniper)

Look, Sniper - I have written around 4 reviews of length unimaginable now and today I posted a rather hefty Soul Calibur opinion. I have been discussing for ages, and tried to make everything I say nice and useful/helpful friendly, and whenever I see a comment like 'shut up' I get the feeling that it would be you. Ok, so you won twice in a row for copied opinions, then you got found out. Big deal (2 £139.99 Dreamcast + 6 games!!!) (Sorry)...

Anyway, I think it was better in the olden days when every post stood a chance because they were all supposedly 'submitted to the virtual hat' so that the winner was random. Well, I think I must have had a pretty good chance after all the posts I have written - I'm not taking anything away from any of you here of course...

It's just, how can Ali etc. decide on which post is worth the gameaday prize? I won a game for a SambadeAmigo opinion which I had already submitted to the forum previously! I then put it in the right place and there's that instantly recognisable line on the front page - we all get that feeling when it's 'us' who wins.

Oh well, I'm not complaining, just a bit disgruntled that my reviews are not being read because of their length - so I like to ramble endlessly, but it's all relevent stuff you know...

Hey, I may be leaving the forums soon (cheers in background...) as PSO is arriving Friday,, and I may as well say goodbye to my money, sleep, food & everthing else!

Good night!!!
