I had a experience just like yours. One can't help but wonder:
Why is it that the moment SMAC get a mentioning somewhere, its on this site as news right away?
People who visit this site either already own the game (in which case they do not need a review to convince them to buy or even a giveaway) or they come here because someone have recommended the game (a review or a friend) and now they want to take a closer look (in which case a review section with links to all reviews would be more appropriate).
It appears to me that the news section only make sense to regular visitors, who want to know what have happened to the game or the site since their last visit. To update the news section with a review when so many european visitors are desperately awaiting an much overdue update IMHO constitutes a act of disregard bordering on cruelty (albeit unintended, I'm sure)

It do make perfect sense to make an AD for a contest where the prize is this game!
Unfortunately this is US residents ONLY.
Those who really need the US release cannot participate. -grin-
Do not get the EC version get the US version.
