It’s your last chance to try desperately to make your voice heard in the 26th Annual Golden Joystick Awards. The world’s longest-running video game awards have once again broken their voting record, with nearly 800,000 votes submitted so far. I sincerely doubt they’ll be able to break their target of 1 million before voting ends on the 27th of December, but by gum they’re pulling out all the stops trying, offering up prizes for every 10,000th vote submitted.
Microsoft and Lionhead have launched the official Xbox site for Fable II, and much like the site for the original Fable it contains a charming interactive storybook for fans of the series to play through, only this time there are prizes involved! The cutout story tells the tale of your character’s ancestor as he deals with the death of his parents and his search for love and vengeance. Depending on the choices you make as you play through it, you will be awarded one of five special in-game items for your troubles.
We still have five copies of Too Human up for grabs! If you have a stunning title for the sequel to Silicon Knights’ Xbox 360 RPG, be sure to head over to the competition thread and add your entry. You only have until Friday, so get going!
Microsoft has kindly provided us with five copies of Too Human on Xbox 360 to give away. Of course, we can’t just pick five readers to hand the game to – no, we need some competition. Some fierce competition. To this end, we’re asking you to post a comment to this story. In it, you need to propose a name and sub-title for the sequel to Too Human. For instance:
Too Human 2: Even More Human
Do this, and you’re in with a chance. It’s simple, see!
Be sure to include your email address in the provided field when you comment so we can contact you if you win. And yes, you can enter as many times as you like, but you’re only eligible for a single copy. Also note this competition is open to residents of Australia and NZ only. Winners will be announced this time next week.
Now, let me hear your ideas! Note that any comments that are not competition entries will be deleted to prevent confusion. More »
Gaming site Eegra has announced the winners of its first “game makin’ shindig“, defying claims that one can only have game makin’ shebangs. There are nine titles in all, each with two reviews, and they’re free to download if you’d like to have a play.
The competition is of particular relevance as Conor O’Kane, an Australian, took out first prize and bagged $US 2000 with his bizarre-looking Go Beryllium.
All I can say is, I wish I’d known about the comp! I’d have submitted Wizkill, Zafehouse or Blockshooter. Oh, if you’re wondering why there’s been a lack of Game A Weeks, I had to take a bit of a break while I direct my arse off.
Press release after the jump. More »
