Not having one, or any other gaming gear, I can't enter the competition, because I've no game to review. sad

Perhaps you could ask a friend if they have a console/game you could review?

Or try an online game that can also be bought in shops?

I agree with the OP.

ledodgy Fri 21-Nov-08 10:08:20

I thought exactly the same!

SoupDragon Fri 21-Nov-08 10:09:59

(as an aside, the "game review" doesn't seem to have a space for the name of the game.)

Avtually I can review Singstar though I have only played it when drunk. <goes off to babble about the joys of singstar when drunk>

I came on here to start a thread saying just that

I reviewed a board game instead. If that doesn't count I will sue you for, er, technological discrimination

<rings solicitor threateningly>

don't mess with us oppressed minorities. Just send me the prize and have done.

ReallyReally

You do realise you've won a prize....check your emails and winners corner

Unfortunately it does need to be a games review as that's where i will draw the winners from.

I reviewed Viva Pinata and submitted it only to realise there wasn't a space for the name of the game!

On the review page, what does "model" mean? Is it where you put whether it's PS2/Xbox/Wii etc?

<thick emoticon>

shock

<goes off to check emails and talk to dh>

AlexiaMumsnet (MNHQ) Fri 21-Nov-08 13:32:19

Looks like most people put the game in as the model, it wont matter anyway grin

I complained about the same thing with a camping review thing.

I know you need more reviews of x category, but it sucks

<thankful for once of geek husband meaning I can enter>

ledodgy Fri 21-Nov-08 14:43:49

PMSL I put the game in as the model.

AlexiaMumsnet (MNHQ) Fri 21-Nov-08 15:26:13

I know it seems like a pain, but just think "I might win if I enter!" wink

stardazzle Fri 21-Nov-08 16:16:08

can you add more than one review and be entered more than once?

AlexiaMumsnet (MNHQ) Fri 21-Nov-08 16:55:10

of course, more times you enter, the more chance you have of winning

Marne Fri 21-Nov-08 16:58:11

yes this peed me off a bit to, how can you review a game if you don't have a DS, and if you already have a DS why would you be entering the comp (unless your greedy) angry

SoupDragon Fri 21-Nov-08 17:10:15

It doesn't have to be a DS game you review. There are other types of computer/console games.

Marne Fri 21-Nov-08 17:31:33

We havn't gopt any games consoles in our house sad, i have played the wii once so could review wii sports.

SoupDragon Fri 21-Nov-08 18:16:45

There you go then. It doesn't have to be a good review. The winner is random, not based on merit (more's the pity otherwise I'd win for sure)

Flier Fri 21-Nov-08 18:26:33

reallyreally - did you see what you'd won? Lucky you!!

yes! yes! <leaps with glee>
