The Darksiders Competition Winners

Our Darksiders competition has finally come to an end. In case you missed the action, we started off the competition asking people to toss a turtle as far as they could. Many productive work hours were lost in the process, and in the short space of two days, some of the entrants had klapped the game so hard that they surpassed the theoretical maximum score! So an update to the competition was required, and we went into a sudden death round, where a score over 10 million guaranteed the entrant a place in the next round.

Six persistent entrants made it into the sudden death round and we asked them to play one of my favourite indie games from last year, Adam Atomic’s Canabalt. They had 24 hours to submit their scores. That time has expired and we have now arrived at the official winners announcement. Find it after the jump.

Darksiders Competition: An Important Update

Note: This competition has ended.

Gamers, sometimes they are like bulls in a china shop. Two days into our Darksiders competition, and two very persistent (read: crazy) people have surpassed the theoretical maximum high score for the flash game we selected for the competition. That completely blindsided us ad we hadn’t expected such dedication so early in the proceedings. Needless to say, there is only one PS3 copy of Darksiders up for grabs, so we have had to make an adjustment to the competition. If you have entered, please take a look at the update after the jump.

Play “Toss the Turtle” and Win Darksiders!

Note: This competition has ended.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing Darksiders (read our review here) and in our first competition in 2010, we want you to experience that feeling too. Thanks to our sponsors, SterKinekor, we’re giving away a copy of Darksiders for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, and a Darksiders-branded t-shirt to go with each copy.

Instead of the usual lucky draw type of competition, we’re trying to keep things a little different here at Onelargeprawn. Based on the popularity of our play-a-game-to-win-a-game idea last year with our Boxhead competition, we’re going to ask you to do something heinous…to a turtle. You might go to hell for it, but I’d like to think the end justifies the means. Wink

The Assassin’s Creed II Crossword Puzzle Winners!

Assassin’s Creed II recently picked up the Best Action Adventure Game accolade in Spike TV’s Video Game Awards, and a week ago, we gave you the chance of winning a copy of it on the console of your choice. You were tasked with solving our crossword puzzle and then decoding the anagram that was formed by specially marked letters on the puzzle. The answer we were looking for was LINEAGE, which not only deals with genealogy, but is conveniently the name of the 3-part story that serves as a prequel to Assassin’s Creed II.

The first PS3 entry arrived within 21 minutes of the competition being posted, with the Xbox 360 entry arriving but a minute later. For their quick work these lads get an extra two entries into our draw. We had another good turn out so a big thanks to all that entered but the most important mystery is yet to be solved – who snagged the prizes? Could you be one of the winners? Well hit the jump to find out.

Oh, Word! It’s a DigitalCamo Competition

If there’s one thing I can say about Abe from DigitalCamo.co.za, it’s that he has great hair. Pure jealousy courses through my veins every time I contemplate its awesomeness.

So Awesome Abe dropped me a line about a little competition he is running where you get to play a game and then win something. Find the details (and a little surprise) after the jump.

Win a Copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Fayyaad over at Utter Insanity just sent me a mail that may or may not be of interest to you. I thought I’d post it anyways because it’s “be nice to work colleagues” month – a self-enforced ritual that occurs only once in three years.

Now, to celebrate yesterday’s launch of Infinity Ward’s universally acclaimed shooter, the dudes at Afrogamer (the African arm of the Eurogamer Network) are giving away a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

The competition entails a little more leg-work than the ones here on Onelargeprawn, but Modern Warefare 2 is one of the most anticipated game of 2009, so if you want to get your hands on it you’ll need to do a fair bit of reconnaissance Wink

The full briefing can be found at Afrogamer. Tell them prawny sent you. Good luck.

Movember Madness: Grow a ‘Tache, Donate to CANSA, Win Big!

Male prostate cancer is topic that may be dear to a man’s heart, well it’s more lower down, according to our in-house veterinarian.

Gavin over at LazyGamer is running a drive to raise money for charity and spread the awareness of prostate cancer and male depression. It’s a worthwhile cause on its own, but to sweeten the pot, they have two Rockstar Games hampers up for grabs – one will be given away to a randomly selected donator, the other will go to the individual who grows the gnarliest, most man-tastic moustache in the month on November Movember.

To find out how you can donate to this good cause and take part in Movember Madness, please head to LazyGamer.

Top Tip: If you’re stuck for ‘tache grooming ideas, have a look at a clip from the World Moustache Championships 2009 and read up on moustache styles.
