The Friendspot

Gears of War 2 is coming…as in only days away.  I think it is safe to say most of us are going to pick it up – and possibly even for a might night launch.  I personally will be heading out tomorrow night to get my midnight copy and play the night away  with the rest of the Friendspot crew and whoever else is interested in giving the game a spin at the wee hours of night.

It seems Gamerdna is running a nice contest for some swag, the requirements?  Simply a gamerdna account, and obtaining at least 195 gamerscore in Gears of War 2.   Simple enough isn’t it?  I mean who isn’t going to be playing multiplayer or the campaign pretty much nonstop until November 17th anyway?  You would almost have to purposely avoid achievements to not get enough points to enter – so head over, and get a gamerdna account if you don’t have one, gain those achievements you achievement monkeys love so much – and get a chance to win some sweet loot.

The Prize?  Well its an 8 foot by 8 foot banner signed by the Dev team…..saweeet.

I think thats a win, win…or maybe its a win, win, win – either way its full of win in my book.

I hope you have had time to give the Aces of the Galaxy live arcade game demo a trial – or if you have the full version, send me a game invite so we can work on those co-op achievements!  If you for some reason haven’t gotten to try the demo, go queue it up for download and then don’t forget to enter our T-Shirt contest compliments of Sierra Games.  Some of my favorite live arcade games are those which I wouldn’t have originally expected to be something I enjoyed before playing the demo.

A few of you have asked (and I wondered myself) what the t-shirts look like, keep reading to see the fine piece of clothing you can use to cover your gamer gut – ok so maybe you aren’t all like me and my rock star gamer gut, but you can still wear it

The day is upon us where we once again launch an assualt against the baddies in the newest xbox live arcade game Assault Heroes 2.  Consider yourself a gaming pro?  Think what you have what it takes to unlock all 200 points across the 12 achievements?  Well now its time to put your money where your mouth is, the first 4 players who complete this task will have a free pass to unlock any of the other Sierra Online games for the xbox live arcade (Lost Cities, Switchball, Boogie Bunnies, Arkadian Warriors).  Then you have another 200 points at your disposal to raise those gamerscores free of charge – what are you waiting for?  Hop in that vehicle and get cranking! 

All you have to do is unlock all the achievements and either leave your gamertag in a comment here on this post, or msg me (Gamertag: Squidpunch) over xbox live.  Of course this requires you to actually purchase assualt heroes 2, and your achievements will be validated upon submission.
