Gamesugar Contest – Ys: The Oath in Felghana

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — Jamie Love @ 7:52 pm

Contest Ys The Oath in Felghana
I’m confident that no other title on the PSP this year, or perhaps ever, has offered up the endurance run that is Xseed’s latest dose of Falcom’s Ys series to hit North America. I’m also certain that the Falcom faithful wasted no time in devouring the release. But while I’m grinding away on some form of a review for the game, it seemed a noble cause to try and spread the Ys agenda with a giveaway in the meantime.

Courtesy of Xseed Games, we have a chance to give five of you a digital download copy of Ys: The Oath in Felghana, pretty sweet right?

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post telling us why you need a copy by 11:59 pm est on Sunday November 21, 2010.

Curious about the game after hearing some talk on the street? Did you happen to run out of blood to sell right when it released? All reasons are welcome here, because we’ll draw five names at random the following Monday afternoon and a winner could be you.

Your Ivy the Kiwi? Contest Winner

Ivy the Kiwi?
Wow, you guys made that ridiculously hard.

First off, I want to thank everyone who entered and took time to add their fake Kiwi factoids, which ranged from ridiculously fantastic to some that I’m almost willing to believe might be true.

Deciding really left us with a narrow margin, but in the end there can be only one this time, and your winner is Shel, who opened our eyes to the horrible not-truth about the Kiwi-fruit actually being a Kiwi egg.

I’ll be getting in touch with you today about your copy of Ivy the Kiwi?, and I will likely never be able to eat a Kiwi fruit again, so thanks for that :/

Gamesugar’s Ivy the Kiwi? Contest

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: , , , , — Jamie Love @ 3:46 pm

Ivy the Kiwi? Contest
Given my recent affection for Ivy the Kiwi?, and my subsequent belief that you should all check it out, it seemed like working out some sort of giveaway / contest was in order. So here’s what we’ve got – courtesy of XSEED Games, one of you has the chance to win a Wii copy of Ivy the Kiwi?

Sounds pretty straightforward right?

So here’s the catch – all you have to do to win, is lie to us. More specifically, I’m looking for completely fake and untrue facts about Kiwis – the bird, not the fruit.

Did sailors use Kiwis to find oranges and fight off scurvy during the little discussed war of 1926? Did the United States parachute Kiwis into the Soviet Union to gather intelligence during the Cold War? You tell us!

Leave your Kiwi Factoid in the comments of this post before 12 PM EST on Sunday September 26th, 2010. Some combination of Team Sugar will pick their favorite entry and award a winner later the following day, most likely based on how ridiculous, creative, and humorous the entry is.

Good luck!

Ys Seven Contest Winners

Ys SEVEN Contest Winners
I want to thank everyone who took the time to enter the code giveaway – it’s good to know I’m not alone in longing for a better grade of RPG. I really appreciated the comments everyone left, but of course in the end, there can be only one, er, make that two.

After a big Natal experience like circus spectacle at sugar headquarters this morning, which I totally forgot to tape, I drew two names, belonging to Lloyd and Celeph – so congrats, check your in-boxes for the codes, and let me know how Ys SEVEN does in the faith restoring department when you get a chance.

Ys Seven PSA & Giveaway

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: , , , , , , — Jamie Love @ 7:53 pm

Ys Seven
Ys Seven hits store shelves tomorrow for your PSP, sporting a standard UMD release as well as an LCE that XSEED has stuffed with Falcom goodness. Being that I consider this year a pretty dreadful one for producing an RPG worth the investment of time and money, I’ve got plenty of expectations riding on this release.

But it occurs to me that maybe some of you don’t know what either a Ys or a Falcom is, and are left wondering if you should bother finding out. With that in mind, I’ve got my mitts on a couple of codes for a digital download of the title courtesy of Xseed Games – 2 to be exact.

So here’s the deal, drop me a line in the comment section of this post and tell me why you need this game to restore your faith in the RPG by Thursday August 19th at 11:59 pm est. I’ll draw two winners randomly from the comments on Friday and two of you can check the game out for yourself free of charge – and if you come back and tell me what you think, I’d probably dig that.

And finally, since I mentioned the LCE, you can catch two scans from the artbook that comes with that after the break.

Sonic’s 19th Anniversary

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: , , , , — Jamie Love @ 12:54 pm

Sonic the Hedgehog
In the pursuit of finding more reasons to eat cake around here, it seems worth mentioning that Sonic the Hedgehog’s birthday is here, the original game releasing June 23, 1991. Incidentally I believe the Japanese release was June 26, which is worth mentioning even more because it means overseas Sonic has the same birthday as yours truly.

In honor of the occasion, and probably because there’s plenty of Sonic coming our way this year, Sega has a contest on the go for fans, which gives two very lucky winners a chance to head to Tokyo to visit Sega Japan and the Sonic development team.

For the next two weeks Sega is putting the call out for fan videos filled with Sonic love – though you should probably pay the official site a visit so you don’t misinterpret how I phrased that and film something regrettable.

Our Mango-Cherry Flavored Heroes Paradise Contest Winners

Filed under: News Feed — Tags: , , , , , , — Jamie Love @ 12:43 pm

Heroes Paradise Contest Winners
Gamesugar’s Heroes Paradise Contest came to a close last night, and I want to take time out right away to thank everyone who entered. We got a great response, which makes it easier to keep offering up more contests in the future. I also want to thank Marvelous again for giving us the opportunity to show that there’s plenty of love for No More Heroes and delicious gaming swag.

It was a pretty crazy morning here, we might have had a Mexican wrestler draw our five winners, or may have just put on masks while doing so ourselves.

Either way, here are our five winners, who will be hearing from us later this afternoon.

The congratulations go to – Mrmountie, Akari, Poofyslime, Nord and Joshhest.
