I've highlighted a few words that I think differentiate us from a lot of other gaming sites.
So keeping the above in mind (or not!), I'd love it if you would come up with ideas for a new name for the site please.
As an incentive, I'm offering a prize (the game of your choice, up to ?60) for the best idea (decided upon by NTSC-uk staff), regardless of whether we use it or not.
To be in with a chance of winning, you must send me a PM with your idea(s), clearly stating the reasoning behind it (them). You may send as many ideas as you wish. This competition is subject to the rules below.
