So Sonic and Sega All Star Racing won the first Make Love Not War vote. I voted for it so I'm not sure if I won a prize because I voted for it, or if they just sent out a prize to everyone, but I got codes for Shining Force and some Company of Heroes 2 DLC

I picked the puppy in the trebuchet picture and that was one of the winners so I got Alien Soldier and some DoW2 DLC. Then I got another email to say I won Challenge 3 (whatever that was?) and got Golden Axe 2 and some Endless Legend DLC.

This year is more confusing than I remember last year being!

I don't own CoH2 or Endless Legend so if anyone wants the DLC (Southern Fronts and Echoes of Auriga) let me know :)

And Total War won the overall contest but I'm not sure if that means I win something else now? :lol:

I really have no idea how this year's competition worked. Apart from the Valentine's picture sharing one, that one seemed straight forward :lol:

I won Golden Axe 2, Comix Zone and some dlc for Total War and Shogun 2. Useless. Should've given away something from this century that did.t require the base game.

Shogun 2 is still arguably the best Total War game ever. Love it.

Yeah, last year's promotion was a million times better.

If anyone wants my Total War codes you can have them. Apart from Warhammer, which didn't get any codes even though it was the faction I chose, I only have Napoleon and I didn't get any codes for that. I still have Endless Legend and CoH 2 DLC too cos I don't own either of them either.

Still, I got some DoW2 DLC, Shining Force, Alien Soldier, Golden Axe 2 and Comix Zone all for free so I can't really complain :up:

EDIT: Isabella von Carstein will be free DLC now so there's that too :)

Vegas 2, heard that's a good game. Can Pilon confirm?

Also, imagine getting that pack and waiting to install MCC and not knowing you should disconnect from the net first. 100+gb of updates lol

It's a ridiculously good deal. Looking around, nothing comes close. The console plus Minecraft seems to go for ~$400, but for an extra $19 you get all of this, holy shit!

RS Siege is a good game but me and G Chaos are the only people who own it. Apparently on the PC its active user base is higher than on launch, such is its greatness.

It's actually dropped in price even more. It's $399 now :shock:

With Scorpio coming out this year (probably), I couldn't recommend anyone buying it.

Yeah, and overall the bone will go down as a forgettable console.

And really, we should see improvements to the BC performance on the Scorpio.

All good points.

I really don't like the mobile phone model consoles have adopted. I guess we'll see how compatibility is handled. I think this is where Microsoft has a big advantage over Sony and shows the advantages of basically being a mini PC since the original Xbox. If I got a PS4 I'd love to be able to go back and pick up classic PS3 games for it on the cheap because I never had a PS3. But I can't.

Worst case scenario I've paid $299 for a 4K bluray player and the Halo series in HD plus a few PC games. Worth it.
