Update: We've selected a winner! Congratulations to Russ Holland of San Marcos, CA.

We don't want to leave the Wii out of our Holidaze Schwagalong, so Wii-lovers, this is your chance to get in on the action. What says Holidaze and the Wii more than a snap-on plastic lightsaber attachment? Nothing that we can think of. You'll also get to cram your Wiimote into a handgun attachment and use a semi-clone of the Xbox 360 controller to put your games through their paces.

The Glow Saber Duo Pack and T-Wireless Precision Pack not enough for you? Fine. We're tossing in three Wii titles for you to huddle your family around over the next couple of weeks. Included is a copy of Death Jr.: Root of Evil, Wacky Races: Crash and Dash, and Family Party: 30 Great Games. It's more Wii-action that you can shake a saber at, and it could be yours if you enter our Joyswag contest:
  • Leave a comment telling us how you'd weaponize your Wii
  • You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec)
  • Limit 1 entry per person per calendar day
  • This entry period ends at 12:00pm ET on Thursday, December 18th. We'll randomly select 1 winner at that time to receive one Glow Saber Duo Pack (ARV $34.99), one T-Wireless Precision Pack (ARV: $29.99), one copy of Death Jr.: Root of Evil for Wii (ARV: $39.99), one copy of Wacky Races: Crash and Dash for Wii (ARV: $39.99), and one copy of Family Party: 30 Great Games for Wii (ARV: $19.99)

Update: We've selected a winner! Congratulations to Joshua Bowles of Tempe, AZ.

Let's face it. If there's anything you've ever needed to hear on the Xbox 360, it's the sound of zombies creeping up behind you. If you haven't played Left 4 Dead, then you don't know about all of the creepy sounds: the gurgling of a Boomer, the wail of a Witch and the raspy sounds of a Smoker. It's all part of the game, and paying close attention can keep you alive. For awhile.

If you're tired of your roommates, significant other or neighbors telling you to dial down the sound on your gaming rig, then you definitely need some high-quality cans that will keep you blissfully unaware while the rest of the world goes about its business. With that in mind, you need to get in on our Joyswag Holidaze Left 4 Dead and Turtle Beach Ear Force X3 wireless gaming headphones (with microphone!) giveaway:
  • Leave a comment telling us why you need a pair of gaming headphones to help you kill zombies
  • You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec)
  • Limit 1 entry per person per calendar day
  • This entry period ends at 12:00pm ET on Wednesday, December 17th. We'll randomly select 1 winner at that time to receive one copy of Left 4 Dead for Xbox 360 (ARV: $59.99), one pair of Turtle Beach X3 Headphones for the Xbox 360 (ARV: $119.99)

Update: We've selected a winner! Congratulations to Liana Engie of Claremont, CA.

A few weeks back we attended Insomniac Games' Resistance 2 open house in Los Angeles, where the developer literally opened its doors and let fans stream in to find out how the game was created. Insomniac showed films, talked gun design, and even fed everyone massive stacks of pizza. Pretty darned costly impressive. Can you imagine opening your doors to hordes of unwashed gamers?

For Day 2 of the Joyswag Holidaze, we're giving away the Collector's Edition of Resistance 2, a Resistance 2 development team t-shirt (size large), and a Resistance 2 poster that's been signed by the entire development team.

To enter the giveaway:
  • Leave a comment telling us how you would resist an alien invasion
  • You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec ... and Mars -- it's in Canada, right?)
  • Limit 1 entry per person per calendar day
  • This entry period ends at 12:00pm ET on Tuesday, December 16th. We'll randomly select 1 winner at that time to receive one copy of Resistance 2: Collector's Edition for PlayStation 3 (ARV: $79.99), one Resistance 2 development team t-shirt (ARV: $10.00), and one Resistance 2 Uncle Sam alien-themed signed poster (ARV: $10.00). Please check your e-mail!
