Hopefully you didn't miss the Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness competition we ran over the last couple of weeks. Before you get all worked up, it ended last Wednesday.

As such, we took some time over the weekend to peruse the entries and select five winners. Four of these will take home a copy of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness. The top of the bunch will receive a lovely new PSP Slim and a copy of the game.

The competition demanded creativity. It taxed the edges of your imagination. It asked, somewhat kindly, for you to craft something epic.

And craft you did.

Judging these was rough as hell. It's hard looking at art people have poured a lot of time and effort into, knowing you can only pick five of them to reward. So, if you sent an entry in, you'd be well advised to hold your breath before hitting the jump.

Just remember to let it go at some point.

Big props to KEOI and THQ for making the whole thing possible.

The competition is still going strong, but the deadline of February 20 is closing fast. If you're working on your masterpiece, then keep going. If you're just twiddling your thumbs however, we have to ask: What are you doing?!

The chance to win a PSP Slim and a copy of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness (courtesy of KOEI/THQ) doesn't come along every day. No sir. And even if you enter but don't win the grand prize, four copies of the game await you. Possibly.

Of course you do! You'd have to be insane not to be excited by such an offer. Heck, I'm barely able to keep my pants on as I type this.

I totally understand what belts are for now.

Anyway, we need your creativity, and we need it now. One lucky person will walk away with a copy of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, and a very sexy PSP Slim. Even if you don't win the grand prize, four other contestants will receive a copy of the game for their efforts. Cheers once again to KOEI/THQ for supplying the goods.

I'm sure you guys know that the competition closes on February 20. I'm also certain you're working on something magnificent.

See, there's this really sweet competition we're running in conjunction with KOEI/THQ. It involves you, something creative, and us.

If your entry is found to be the most awesome, you'll win a brand new PSP Slim and a copy of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness. Four almost-as-awesome entries will pick up a copy of the game.

By my reckoning (and my calendar's) you have 15 days to get your entry in. Now, it seems like heaps of time, but it you fold it in half and cut off the end bits, it's not that long at all.

So get to work on your crafty crafts, digital photos or sexy costumes!

Two days ago KOEI/THQ approached us with a spectacular competition. All you need to do is be creative. Paint/draw/build/craft/conjure something anime/manga related, take a photo (or in the case of digital art, a preview JPEG) and send it in via our tips email with the subject "Disgaea competition". Take note that if you can make it Disgaea-themed, it'll increase your chances.

A PSP Slim with a copy of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness is up for grabs, along with four copies of the game for the runners-up.

You can enter as many times as you like. Just don't spam us with the same entry - if you get the automated reply, it means we received it.

For more information, including terms and conditions, see the original post!

No need to blink, rub your eyes or do an amusing double-take. Kotaku Australia and KOEI/THQ have joined forces to give you guys the opportunity to win a brand new Sony PSP Slim and a copy of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness.

We also have four additional copies of the game to give away to a few lucky runners-up. In total, the prize pool weighs in at $600.

Afternoon of Darkness is a remake of the critically acclaimed Hour of Darkness on the Playstation 2. Developed by Nippon Ichi Software, this tactical role-playing game has everything you could want from an anime-styled RPG - quirky characters, an entertaining plot, in-depth gameplay and plenty of replayability.

As you can see, it makes perfect sense to offer the game as a giveaway. For all the gritty competition details (such as what the heck you need to do to enter), hit the jump!

Attention Disgaea fans! If you do not have a PSP yet, you still have a little over a week left to come up with the funds to purchase one so you can play what I now consider the ultimate version of the original game. Scheduled to hit stores in time for a Halloween spooktacular, Afternoon differentiates itself from Hour of Darkness for the PlayStation 2 by adding local multiplayer matches, new stages and characters, and a smaller, wide screen presentation. There's even a new Etna Mode in which she 'accidentally' kills Laharl and replaces him with a Prinny, but the main benefit this version has over the console version is portability itself. All of those little tasks required to master the game can now be done on the fly, anywhere. This is why I have a cleric named Potty.
