print was a statement in python 2.x, it is now a function so you need 
parenthesis:

 >>> print("Game Over")
Game Over

So point the asker to the documentation, don't just dismiss them as a troll.

This newsgroup has a reputation for being friendly.  Let's keep it that way.

In python version 3, print was changed into a function.

Use this and it will work:

  print("Game Over")

No, none what so ever. Perhaps you are the first person in the world to 
have come across this error. If you ever solve it, please write up the 
solution and put it on a blog or a website somewhere so that if it ever 
happens again, googling for "python print SyntaxError" will return a 
useful result.

Tongue-firmly-in-cheek-ly y'rs,
