Hi there,

Gameaday will shortly be expanded again to TWO prizes per day. Aside from the existing prize for reviews, the new prize will primarily be for game walkthroughs, or to be exact, walkthroughs you have written yourself. Hopefully this means we'll see an increase in the amount of written walkthroughs coming through from you lot. It also means we'll be more vigilant with fake ones, so they won't get through.

If no decent walkthroughs are submitted, then the winner will be picked from either that day's chat posts, or cheats from UKcheats.com so it's a much more varied approach to this new prize than we're used to. Hopefully it shouldn't cause too much trouble.

So there you have it - Gameaday expanding again. We'll let you know exactly when the new system is being launched (it'll be fairly soon) but in the meantime you can start writing those walkthroughs!

Cheers
Ali

sounds reasonable - there is a downside to the forums one though, you always have hundreds of essays on the price of cat food or tony blairs new suit or something, and the place loses its 'off the cuffness'

I think they should do two Gameaday's.

Gameaday One :: Reviews
Gameaday Two :: UKwalkthrough, UKchatforums

You may say the latter is like the one Ali has just set up, but really, it isn't. He said that Gameaday Two would be walkthroughs unless no decent walkthroughs were posted, in which it will turn to the forums. But, why not have it best of both. So, even if a decent walkthrough has been posted, Chatforums should still get an equal chance to win.

Get my drift?

my thoughts exactly - a review of a game takes about 20mins to read and check through, an intelligent post the same, but a walkthrough takes forever, and to put all that work in and not win would be gutting.

I wrote a walkthrough for MOH Allied Assault. Took me bloody weeks. Hours and hours sat at my computer working from notes I'd made. Didn't win. Wasn't worth it.

Can I just ask .. why didn't you bring back GAD 1 instead?

At least then people will post much better and it may even attract some decent poster's back into the forums. Most people are getting fed up of the current useless cack they have to read on a daily basis.

You say that now just after I wrote my kick asz review of Cabin Fever in the movies forum. I just can't win! :'( **cries** ahem Anyway I wont write walkthroughs as I have neither time nor the games to do it (the gamecube is my bro's and his games are all old). I shall write more stories, reviews of movies etc and we'll all get Snuggly to save a GAD for us chat users every now and again too though:D
