This is still going on, but they don't .announce it anymore -- perhaps they have a lot lined up already and aren't in need of any new submissions for quite a few months. Clearly there's no point hurrying to finish a game now and it not get on the magazine for over six months, when that time is best spent improving it. This must be why SCEE aren't advertising it anymore. Compos like the GDUK get people moving and cause a nice surge of quality games to come out, thus filling that coveted FameGame lineup.
