Since the beginning of time, man has attempted to unlock the secrets of two ancient mysteries: 1) The meaning of life and 2) how the hell you make an RTS both intuitive and enjoyable using a console controller. On February 5, Halo Wars will attempt to answer the second of life's greatest mysteries when a demo for the title releases on the Xbox Live Marketplace. Will it succeed where others have failed or will it too suffer a tragic fate of mediocrity? We don't know, but this week you have a chance to find out by winning an advanced code for the demo courtesy of Jade, Jake and the entire Xbox Canada Community Blog.

Here's how you win:
  • Leave a comment conveying your completely accurate (even though you've never played it) review of the Halo Wars demo.
  • You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec)
  • Limit 1 entry per person
  • This entry period ends at 5:00PM EST, today (February 2, 2008). We'll randomly select 5 winners at that time to receive an Xbox Live Marketplace code to download the demo of Halo Wars (ARV: $0.00). Please check your e-mail!

Hey kids, just a quick reminder that our monster Holiday Wish List Giveaway is still underway. We're giving away not just one, but two piles of sweet Xbox 360 swag, including games, action figures, posters, clothes, an art book and even a couple of X3F stickers. The idea is that you'll have plenty of stuff that you can give as gifts for the holidays. Of course, each pile of swag comes with a particularly delicious (and metaphorical!) cherry on top. Part one of our giveaway comes with the complete band set of Guitar Hero: World Tour and part two comes with a sweet AXPro 5.1 surround sound headset from Tritton. We suppose we wouldn't blame you if you decide to keep some (or all) of the swag for yourself. You can enter each giveaway once a day from now through Sunday.

You see that pile of swag? That, friends, is just the tip of the iceberg. See, we had this idea that we could give away a pile of swag to one lucky reader. That lucky reader, in turn, could give some of that swag away as holiday gifts. Of course, we can't make anyone giveaway their hard-earned prizes, but that's not going to stop us from giving them away. Here's a rundown of what we're giving away (you can see it all in hi-res glory in the gallery below):

Update: This giveaway is now closed and a big congratulations goes to PsEG and scooter shooter for winning these EPIC goodies.

So begins our Gears of War 2 launch week fanswag giveaways (nope, we didn't forget) and today we're giving away two copies of Gears of War 2 Limited Edition and will be parting with our super rare, super collectible and super metallic Gears COG tag. Yes, the same metal COG tag that was part of the Last Day campaign. Yes, it's hard for us to part with it.

We'll be selecting two winners on Thursday (one will win the game, the other will win the game and COG tag) and all you have to do is enter by commenting on this post. You'll have two chances to enter (once today, once tomorrow), so get entering and win. A metal COG tag awaits ...
  • To enter the giveaway, leave a comment on this post telling us what your favorite Gears execution is. Do you prefer the curb-stomp? More of a chainsawdomizer? Or maybe you like Torque Bowing your foes?
  • You may leave one comment per calendar day eastern time. Posters of multiple comments per day will be disqualified. We'll accept entries until Thursday, November 6th at 5:00PM eastern. You must be at least 18 years old to enter. This giveaway is open only to residents of the U.S. and Canada (excluding Quebec).
  • On Thursday, we'll pick two winners via a random drawing.
  • One grand prize winner will receive (1) metal Gears of War 2 COG tag and (1) Gears of War 2 Limited Edition worth $70. One second prize winner will receive (1) Gears of War 2 Limited Edition worth $70.

Here we are again, dear readers, with another edition of our fanswag giveaway. Up for grabs this week is a copy of MySims Kingdom ($30) for the DS. What do you have to do to get your hands on this? Well, why don't you tell us what the first order of business would be if you suddenly won your own kingdom? Would you throw a killer bash in your castle? Would you sell off the land and retire to a beach somewhere? Would you run through your fields naked?

Leave a comment between now and Tuesday, November 11th at 11:59PM ET, to be entered into the giveaway. You can leave one comment per day from now until the final day. We'll select a winner the next day via random drawing.

There are a few things you should know before entering. Entrants must be current and legal residents of the United States or Canada (excluding Quebec) and at least 18 years of age or older. Read up on the rest of the official rules right here. Good luck!

We're giving away a free copy of the game on the Wii, as well. Feel free to enter both giveaways!
