So for example, I submitted that Warriors news and it reached today's hottest. Does that mean I get anything?

Fullmetalevolust3269d ago

Congrats and keep at it, I've submitted some news in the past and it's never gotten that much attention. Keep up the good work. You'll have to submit all month long.

Who won last months competition?

Deadpooled3269d ago (Edited 3269d ago )

The "Today's hottest" continually changes depending on the time it was submitted, from personal experience of submitting articles last month for that competition it's around 24hours since approval when it stays on the front page then goes for the next highest heat one to be the hottest of the day. Most likely if the article gets 1000 degree+ heat it likely gets a top news rank. Last month my C Rank went up from 5 to 9.

Review - Gex Trilogy (Xbox Series S/X) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Leo Faria: "There are two correct answers to the question, “is the Gex Trilogy collection worth your time”. If you want to be technical, no, the collection ain’t worth it. The games have never been part of the upper echelon of platformers from the 90s, and haven’t aged that well. The other, more emotional and subjective answer, is that, yes, this collection is worth your time, as these are funny, creative, and inventive games from a bygone era. Even if the original Gex just isn’t good at all, both Enter the Gecko and Gex 3 are hilarious and inventive titles that will easily please any 3D platforming fan, no matter their age or experience. It’s tail time once again!"
