Wow, what a clever member at gamefaqs.com!!!

Take a look at this joker:

www.gamefaqs.com/features/recognition/28718.html

Look at his Metal Slug reviews, and then take a look at the reviews of those games on my site and on neo-geo.com. I see something similar... can't quite put my finger on it though. I wouldn't have known about this until someone spotted it and posted about it at neo-geo.com:

www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76103

I've emailed gamefaq's, so hopefully I'll get a response. It may take a while though, as the site is only run by one person.

/me is a little mad

WTH!!!!!
Man, this is so much bull.
The nerve of this fucktart to just go and copy an entire review and post it under his name while it even aren´t his words in there or the way he expresses the way he tells the reviews.
Good job on Setsuna1982´s side over at neogeo.com for noticing this piece of crap.

Doesn´t this fake ass got an e-mail or something we can flood over?
I´d love to punch him up the rectum and rip his internals out from the rear.......what a disgrase this is.

Yeah I'm very glad he posted about it as I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Although a lot of people don't like gamefaqs anymore, I still use thesite a lot and respect it, and I don't blame the owner for this as obviously he can't check every single item that gets posted... but I am not going to leave this until those reviews are removed from the site.

This may not seem like a big deal to some people, but what really irritates me is that I do actually let other people use content from my site occasionally (like in Ebay auctions etc), all I ask is that they *ASK* me first and that they give a little credit at the bottom to the original author.

I'll post back when I hear anything...

That´s exacly the point.
It aren´t his words to start with.It´s not the way he describes the games, it are you points of view.
So he totally doesn´t give his real impression, it´s all a bunch of nothing he has to say.

It gets worse, see here:

www.mednez.com/rg_sept_1.php
Runescape review ripped from here

www.gameblitz.com/dcmvsc.htm
Marvel review ripped from here

www.gamespot.com/pc/action/unrealtournament/review.html
Unreal review ripped from here... again, what a retard!

I don't wanna make that big a deal out of it, so long as gamefaqs remove this stuff I'll be fine. However, if they don't get it removed, I'm gonna get in touch with all of the other sites that he has been ripping content from. I'm sure they'd all want to know that this guy is doing this...

A lot of other content on there is probably ripped from other locations too, but I guess it is way too hard/impossible to keep tabs on all of it... sigh.

That is pretty fuckin ridiculous...no, ricockulous is better. I don't forsee a problem with the gamefaqs webmaster...he'll most likely take it down no questions asked.

Yeah, I'm sure he will. Hopefully he sees my email sometime soon though

Total BS man Why do people bother making reviews if there's no effort involved?

To get "street cred" with his buddies at gamefaqs...basically all it does his make his contribution page there look nice, which I am sure gives him a big hard-on or something ;D ;D ;D

Someone at neo-geo.com put it best though - too many people do things these days for recognition and to try and make a name for themselves... instead of just doing it for the love of it and to help other people out. Helping people is why I started my site personally and I continue to do it for the love of the system - I'm sure all the other people that have contributed to it in the past have felt the same way.

Funny thing is, the MS review of mine that he ripped off was a really old one that I did years ago... it was quite poor compared to the newer ones I have done really . I just really love the way that none of the scoring systems that he has used on the reviews actually match up at all, they are all totally different, as is the writing style that he did them in. Even if I didn't know,they were ripped from different places, I'd still question their validity ;D
