Either way, to the point: Our PC Game Reviews website launched about 5 weeks ago, and to kick-start interaction and content a little we decided to give away £30 worth of Steam Games in a competition.
Entering is pretty simple - it involves writing a review of a game you particularly liked/disliked or have any sort of opinion on, and if it follows our guidelines/is of good enough quality to go on the website, you have a chance at winning the prize. Any member of our team is obviously specifically excluded from winning.
The competition has only 2 weeks left on it - so I felt it was worth sharing in case someone visits the site at a later stage and felt they 'missed the boat'.
You *can* write about a game we've already reviewed, but in that case your opinion would require to be a little different to the original review. We feature these as 'second opinion' reviews. Full details can be found on our Review Competition Page.
The biggest plus of this competition is that we find talented 'guest authors' who occasionally send a review of the latest game they played. It's a great way to share your opinion with the gaming community, have people read about it - and be part of a project from its infancy. We've enjoyed over 10,000 visits in the first month alone, purely by word of mouth with no advertisement whatsoever, so there is a good momentum going.

Some ideas for games we are missing;
- Most popular MMORPGs (We honestly have no time for these right now...)
- Mass Effect 1/2
- Any entry of the Total War series
- Fallout 3 (previous one)
