Risen 2 from Deep Silver

Risen 2 and Dead Island Riptide!

Hey there.  Guess who scored a free copy of Risen 2 by Deep Silver?!?!  Yup, this guy!  I entered a Twitter contest not too long ago and about a week or so ago, I get a direct message on Twitter saying that I'm a winner.  How awesome is that?!?!  I've enter all kinds of stuff online and what not and I rarely win anything.  I think this may be one of the first things that I have actually won online!  And it's a game!  I'll admit that I haven't cracked open this bad boy but I'll definitely be popping it my Xbox 360 tonight!

Pictured above...  NOT a goofy face!  lol

I included the above picture because... well... why not.  lmao!  First, I thought it was cool that the Risen 2 game came in the mail on the same day as the Game Informer with Dead Island Riptide on the cover.  It made me believe that some way, some how, Deep Silver made sure I got it with another Deep Silver for me to read up on.  Secondly, the wife asked why I make "goofy" faces in my pictures.  First things first, my dear...  I do not believe my face is goofy and... what's wrong with goofy faces?  lmao  Just wanted to share that small conversation between the wife and I.  Actually, most of our conversations can be summed up that way.  It's one the reasons why I love her.

I haven't played any of the Risen games.  What do you guys think of them?  Good, bad?  Worth spending a generous amount of time on?  Let me know!  Later!

Dead Island Game of the Year Winner

Hey there.  It's time to announce a winner of the Dead Island Game of the Year Edition for the PS3 or Xbox 360!  But first, I asked you guys which is your favorite zombie flick and it was pretty close between Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead.  Personally, I like them both but I would give the slight nod to Zombieland over Shaun of the Dead.  Shaun of the Dead is a great homage to all zombie cliches but I like the originality of Zombieland and Bill Murray's, "Garfield, maybe." is one funny as hell line in the movie!!!  Ok... enough blabber!  And the winner is...

Who's ready to kick off 2012 with another game giveaway!!!  I know you're ready!  Let's do this!  The next game up for grabs is Dead Island for the Xbox 360, PS3, or PC!  Here's some info on the game:

The island of Banoi is a lush, tropical paradise in the South Pacific where its flagship Royal Palms Resort serves as the ultimate getaway for vacationers with money to burn. However, all good things must soon come to an end - and the picturesque resort falls into madness, carnage and chaos after a mysterious and contagious zombie outbreak claims its once peaceful atmosphere. Cut off from the rest of the world, only four individuals who strangely find themselves immune to zombification have the power to protect the remaining survivors from the horrors of the island, discover what's really going on and find a way to escape before their own fatal ends.
