FORUM WINNERS: Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr & 2X Bonus!

It' s time to announce the latest Forum Winners. After considering the idea of having the previous winner elect the next one, it was taking too long so we' ve gone ahead and done all the catching up. We may still choose to try that idea from here on though.

These winners should all get in contact by PM' ing me, and letting me know which game they would like, which format (eg PS2) which territory (i.e. NTSC-US, NTSC-JP or PAL) along with their real name in full, postal address, including country.

We have decided to add two bonus winners for fun of it. Next time we may introduce a thing where bonus winners are previous winners, that would be a great way to keep things fair for everyone.

DEC 2004 - Gossi_the_dog
JAN 2005 - mxpx182
FEB 2005 - Sharon
MAR 2005 - Lobo
APR 2005 - dismiss
BONUS #1 - Chickapoo88
BONUS #2 - kombatfighter

Well done to you guys!

ESSENTIAL LINKS
New users will need to have a look through these previous posts to learn more about the monthly forum contest, for a better chance of winning. As well as other general forum updates that we sometimes like to include in these *cough* monthly announcements.

Thanks, and get posting... May is now in full swing! And remember, as these latest winners most certainly demonstrate, it' s quality, not quantity, that counts.

WOW, I actually won something! Thank you, thank you, thank you I never expected it.

My son (future Kikizo poster) asked, " What game shall we get?"
I said, " What do you mean we?"

I' ll pm you soon Adam

Congrats to everyone else too!

Well thanks to all, although I regret kissing Rika' s ass now. I shall never find my dignity again. Ah well, can' t lose what you never had. Anyways, I was thinking about Star Wars Episode III, but after redaing reviews, it is apparently awful. I' ll get back to you Soon Adam. Congratulations to all the other winners as well. Although I have to admit can' t for the life of me remember a Lobo that posted here. There' s a couple others who deserve to win just as much as all of us did, and I' m sure you' re up next! If anyone has any good reccomendations for games I' m all ears. I' m thinking heavily about Y' s ark of Naphitsm, but I' m heavy into Tales of Symphonia right now, so I' m not sure If I can handle another RPG right away.

Congrats to you two!

We looked closely. LoBo' s posts stood out as informed and frankly an example of the kind of user we would like to attract more to the forums, rather than the like of Johnny PostCount. In fact I am pretty sure LoBo only had like eight posts or something. Just goes to show that flooding is pretty pointless. Sure he could have posted a bit more, but we want to set an example and this illustrates the broad criteria for the monthly winner.

Some of the other posters announced today, including you two, have been around longer and consistently great users.

You can search for users (and subsequently their posts) simply by using the search link above - enter nothing for the main search term, and enter the user' s name in the appropriate field. Voila. :)

Yup, whatever you like. In fact if a game choice has a Retail Price of < $30 or £25 then you can actually get two at that pricepoint, if you like.

MPX2000, get Ys 6 Ark of Napishtum over Tales of Symphonia. ToS is like 80 hours long and Ys 6 is only about 15 or so (if that) but Ys 6 is soooooo awesome!

Anyway congrats everybody and I want to know what y' all choose!

Don' t bother finishing ToS, it' s not worth it. The whole game is nothing more than a puzzle game with a sappy story and some whiny teens (like all RPGs). Ys 6 is an action game with a sappy story and no whiny Lloyd-type characters!

I' m actually loving TOS right now, but I will agree, Lloyd is a whiny beotch, and I hope someone turns him into a man by the end of the game. Hell, Turns him into a woman, I don' t care, just not what he is now.

I' m definitely surprised! I' ll start contributing to this site more often. Thank you for acknowledging my informative contributions to the forums or just my loud mouth!?! I really do appreciate this. You guys made my day. So, you can choose any game that' s around 50 bucks in USA money? UHHH nevermind, I read the requirements on winning games.

P.S. Oh yeah! Congratz everybody else! If you didn' t win, don' t frown. There' s always tomorrow! <--I know, it sounds lame doesn' t it? That' s the best that I could do!

Point earners include interesting and entertaining posts, posting red hot news, intelligent discussion, your own cool ideas or artwork, courtesy towards other users and general community spirit.


I didn' t know we could post artwork. Would I post it in the everything else section? I can scan most of my pics and display them online for you guys. I' ve been drawing since I was 6 yrs old and have an incredible talent. <I' m not bragging, seriously> I can post X-men, superhero and my own stuff as well.

LOL, I would really post my Ghost Rider Picture if I could that' s in my profile. Stupid profile stretched the image tho and I don' t have time to edit it right now cause of projects from work.

Well, I chose my game. I played it a while back by renting it. Forgot about it and while searching thru the endless lists of xbox games remembered it!

Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors

I remember 5 years ago when I only had 1 xbox game for my all powerful system. It was sad. Dead or Alive 3 seemed like the only deemed and worthy enough game to get for a whole year. Seriously, had that game for a whole year and finally bought the Bruce Lee game which flopped. Also Adam, is there any way that you can send document or something with the game claiming that you won it from Kikizo? I would sooo show it to my friends and brag <cough> I mean promote this site then.

Don' t forget to say which region of the game you need when you PM Adam, otherwise he' ll send you the UK version as well as a videotape of him laughing at you.

Otogi 2 is a good (but tough) game!

Yes it was, that' s why I like it. It forced you play with all characters and level all of your characters up to! I like the music score as well. It has that traditional sound theme going on and the character voice overs was done well too. Anyways, gonna stop posting for today. I think I' ve over posted in the excitement of winning! LOL!

Wow, I never expected something like that, seeing that I' m rather new to the forum. Thanks guys!

Edit: I have a question - Can we choose games that are not out yet in our regions? I' d very much like God of War, but it' s not out till June in Europe.

You can have a game FROM any region, TO any region. This is because KIKIZO IS ACE.

I' ve always wished that someone would pick a game from one of the upcoming generation consoles (Revolution, PS3, Xbox 360) just for kicks ;)

Congratulations to all the winners!!!

It sure does feel nice to be recognized (and rewarded!!!)...I know it did for me (winner: August 2004)!

Though I haven' t been around much as of late, Adam (and staff) have always been the best at picking winners.

You all deserve something nice, and I am happy for each and every one of you!

Sharon, I hear that God of War game is awesome!

Anyone else decide what they' re gonna pick?

My brother has it and doesn' t stop raving about the game - this is a guy who is extremely " picky and critical" about games.

I can' t wait to get it

While I' m waiting I' ll finish Jade Empire (awesome game in its own right).

Due to the E3 and all I imagine Adam will have a slight delay in sending out the games. When I won I got mine really fast, and it came with a box of chocolates and some flowers from Adam.
