Yeah, and I'm sure posting, "The game looks like crap." Will certainly guarantee you a code... Please.

When someone specifically directs me to boost up the positive posts in a thread in order to receive a gift, what else would that be called?

That's precisely why I quoted the original in my response...

Nothing worse than having a post looking like it's a response to nothing.

Totally agree !

Its funny looking at the Promo codes and Contests section of the forum. Stuff like 'download our free app and write a review, a review will be picked at random to win an itunes voucher'. Like a 1 star 'this games crap' review will win!

Its shameful as you say that long time posters enter crap like this and write the usual 'great app....' rubbish just so they can possibly win an itunes voucher or that.

Just a new form of shill reviews, always positive/cheery as they want to win a voucher. Pathetic

I'm right there with you on this. I remember when I first saw one of those, "The best review will win blah, blah, blah" threads. My thought was, "The best honest review?"

After seeing some of the games? And the accompanying reviews? Yeah, OK. Notsomuch.

And seeing people with high post counts taking the bait? Remind me again, what is the point of having reviews? Or having a site like TA?
