@Raffles: It wouldn't be cheating.
The main site of abandonia is posting news. This news isn't always a new game review anyway...
So the news would be, that a certain game was voted the game of the week (like a winer of a competition - so to speak).

Well, it would be "cheating" in the sense that it would appear to be an update at first sight. How do you think people would react?
RandomVisitor: "Oh, nice, the Abandonia site has been updated. Let's see, what's new?... Wtf?? Settlers 2 is already on the site, isn't it? So why are they giving me all this silly stuff about it being voted Game of the Week on the forums, blah, blah, blah? Are they trying to conceal the fact that there isn't a proper update? Who cares about bleedin' Games of the Week, I want
new games, dammit!! Gimme more downloads!!"
*goes off to the forums to flame the g0dd4mn n00b who posted the news about the Game of the Week -
:tai: :Titan: :ranting: :Tom: and all that*
It's a sad fact, but it's nevertheless a fact that most visitors do come to the site for the downloads. They would feel cheated and regard it as "fake" updates.
