I thought that was actually quite generous.

i tryied winning a game for a game reveiw but i only ever win if its a reveiw on a mouse or a keyboard.

i think they were effective because they make life easyier for you rather than add a zabbang to your life if you know what i is saying??
zabbang is harder to make look good but making something look useful... easy!!

basically look at the winners list read about 10 of them take aspects of there reveiws and apply them to yours, BINGO! try not to copy a good idea word for word try and make it diffeent.

Aye it be a terrible thing tae do to a Pirate. I be a thankful for your frienship matey.

I can't leave the Pirate now. ;-)

Thanks, Wakka. Much appreciated.

I like you Cub!st.

Don't sweat it Todd. Few forum members like me right now. It's like watching WWE. One month everyone loves a certain wrestler but the next he can't be mentioned without booing. You just have to be nice back to people and get to know them. I am trying the whole be nice part to all forum members who are nice to me but it's working very very slowly with lots of people still mad at me.

thanks mate you the first person who has been nice to me

I'm probably not the best person to advise you on how to do better reviews, but I'll try anyway.

Firstly choose ONE game to write a review on, ten reviews in one day doesn't do you any good. If you just concentrate on the one game then you'll end up with a much more focused review.

Before you type anything up on your computer, get some paper and write down the good and bad points of the game, what the gameplay, sound, graphics, longevity ,etc, is like.

Then just write a few different paragraphs about each aspect of the game, don't try to limit yourself to the 3000 characters, just write as much as you want, then take the best bits and put them together, then you may end up with a half decent review.

If you have Word then type your review up first, that way you can see any spelling or grammar mistakes, and you'll also be able to keep track of the amount of characters you have used.

Then once you have a review you're happy with, post it on SR. Also, having a look at GAD winning reviews will give you an idea of what standard you should try to acheive. The best bit of advice though, is just be patient, I didn't win my first GAD until past my 100th day on this site.

Also, you need to be a member to win an actual game so if you win and you aren't a member, then you have to take out a membership instead of the game, so make sure you have a membership before you post some really good stuff.
