GOTY & Free Games!

Related Topics – Activision, Sony, Games: PC, Mastiff

So heading into the weekend we had a couple of things going on that you girls may have missed. Our GOTY poll and our holiday giveaway where you guys get free games from the publishers who love gamers.

- Game of the Year 2004 vote! - Holiday 2004 giveaway!

We will not be keeping or selling any information collected with the holiday giveaway. A huge thanks to the generous publishers out there who contributed. Activision , CDV , SNK , Mastiff , DreamCatcher Interactive , THQ , Sony Online Entertainment , Microsoft Games , Viva Media , and uh.. the guy at EB who made our purchase of a few more games to giveaway as extremely painful as possible. SHUT UP DUDE SELL ME THE GAME. SHUT UP ALREADY. Happy Holidays!

Last night I had a dream and I was getting on an airplane and the guy in front of me was STEVE FREAKING GIBSON, and I said, "Hey, you remember me, right? I'm Kyle." And he said, "Oh, yeah, man, from back in the day!" And then there was an awkward silence and then I think aliens attacked or I was eaten by a shark or something, but, damn.

I guess that publishers don't like european gamers.

Kind of disappointing (although I myself own these games already) that publishers never gave up copies of:

Halo 2
Half-Life 2

On the other hand, it's very very cool that there are 3 copies of 'Painkiller' (I wants it!) and 3 copies of Call Of Duty: United Offensive (hopefully they go to someone who already owns the original) and 4 copies of Vampire: Bloodlines.
