*** Competition Closed ***
Ok, so it’s fair to say that I’m no big Gamer. I don’t have a PS3, I don’t have an X-Box and I can only just handle MarioKart on the Wii. So, when it comes to sports games, I’m at a loss. I wish I could say something about NHL 10 other than “It’s a hockey game” but I’ve never played it. But according to those in the know, it’s damn fine.
In any case we’ve got 3 copies of the PS3 version to give away to the Culchie masses.
NHL 10 features more than 200 gameplay refinements that replicate the skill and finesse of hockey and deliver the most responsive and authentic action ever for the series. Players can one-time loose pucks, score from their knees, knock pucks out of the air and lift a leg to fake a shot on goal. A new 360° precision passing mechanic delivers control over the speed and direction of passes so players can bank passes off the boards or play the puck into space for teammates to skate on to it. Plus, all-new interactive crowds bring the emotion of playoff hockey to life with towel-waving fans, glass bangers and crowds that react to the action on the ice.
But if you’re less inclined towards hockey and far more interested in an epic tale of violence, lust, betrayal and dragons, then maybe you’d be interested in winning a copy of Dragon Age: Origins, an equally well reviewed game.
The survival of humanity rests in the hands of those chosen by fate. You are a Grey Warden, one of the last of an ancient order of guardians who have defended the lands throughout the centuries. Betrayed by a trusted general in a critical battle, you must hunt down the traitor and bring him to justice. As you fight your way towards the final confrontation with an evil nemesis, you will face monstrous foes and engage in epic quests to unite the disparate peoples of a world at war. A romance with a seductive shapeshifter may hold the key to victory, or she may be a dangerous diversion from the heart of your mission. To be a leader, you must make ruthless decisions and be willing to sacrifice your friends and loved ones for the greater good of mankind.
Hell yeah! That’s more like it.
If you want to win both NHL 10 and Dragon Age on the PS3, leave a comment below saying why you should win. The cleverest or funniest three answers will win both games and if there’s no clever or funny people out there, the winners will be selected randomly next Friday. Get scribbling!
well of course i want to win these games , Not for myself mind but for my Son , Sure why would I not want to win them , Sure the poor fellow only plays sports game every night on the ps3 and then the poor deprived lad takes my remote control and watches sports on tv and while watching sports he takes my computer over , And when I ask for my tv back and my computer back he says , calm down Hilary , note it is not calm down mammy but calm down Hilary ,because he knows that will anoy me , any way he says calm down ill give it to you in 5 , 5? what . 5 hours ? 5 mins ? 5 years ? so here is why I think I should win these games , any son that can annoy his poor old mum as much as he does in a nice way ,deserves to be rewarded ,
So I can give them to my nephews for xmas instead of the usual crap they get off [poor] me.
I’m neither clever nor funny but I will say that I have Dragon Age: Origins (mine’s on Xbox 360 though) and it’s a simply brilliant game. One of the best RPGs in years, but then it’s made by Bioware so it was bound to be.
Good luck to everyone who enters.
Wow, what a great idea for an RPG. Talk about high concept, a team of ice hockey players fight monstrous foes and travel through fantastics lands on an epic quest. I can’t wait to see them take on the dragon armed with only their hockey sticks and a puck.
Oh, it’s two separate games..um…well..(hides head in acute embarassment)..I think I’ll leave now. Mumble, mumble, maybe I can do something with the idea anyway. You know, maybe a fantasy trilogy. I think it’s got legs
A squirrel walks up to a tree and says, “I forgot to store acorns for the winter and now I am dead.” Ha! It is funny because the squirrel gets dead.

@Shane I just saw Up last weekend. Far from original, but damn funny!
I think I should win because I’m your love child and you owe me all those Birthdays & Christmases you cheap git!

I think I should the games, because I’m great.
In fact, I think I should get two copies of each, in case one doesn’t work.
I think I should win the games for many reasons:
1) I’m awesome. I just had to say it and get it out in the open. I should win because of that alone. But if you need more, then I shall fork it out by the tractor loads; much like manure.
2) I’m Irish… Wait, I can’t use the whole “Irish Charm’ thing on an Irish website can I? Or maybe I can… No, I’m being told now that I can’t use the “I’m Irish” thing on an Irish website.
3) Everyone seems to be saying there poor and want cheap games, so… I’m not going to do that, I’m going to say I have a mountain of games and if I got those games I would just toss them aside like the others [insert maniacal laugh here].
4) I think this form of composition is evil! This is all for your sick amusement to strain people to use their creativeness! It’s a form of torture! Because you know someone is out there who is better and funnier than you and they’re just waiting to steal your prize from you!
5) I’m done playing your sick game!
6) No, I want those games so I’ll still play your sick game… For now…
My friends a canadian and is unsurpricingly a huge hockey fan.

Hello, Dear please reply to my comment. Piongain is my name. My richness father owns a large video game warehouse but is deceased now.
His video game shop business owner associate fed him to wildness dogs.
I am now in ownership of warehouse. I now need help in protecting my warehouse.
I estimate to have 10,000 games in my ownership.
To open negotiations of protection I need trust of you. This requirement is 2 games. The games above are good for this.
Once my trust is in you I can offer you 20% of warehouse.
This is why games should belong to me soon, it is a great investment to both me and you.
Thanks and Praise Cthulu.
Best regards,
Piongain.
I should win because “I’m Awesomeee”
Would love these games for my son because….
Finances chronic makes me snappy.
Winning these games would make me happy!
I should win these games to fill up the massive downtime I have since I got laid off from my job (sheds a single tear and cue touching music). I find myself lonely and depressed (and online porn just doesn’t do it anymore) so please give me even 1 game and it’ll make my christmas. I can gather the family around the PS3 while I play and we can warm ourselves with the molten like heat it generates after a few hours, wihle in the process saving money and the environment! Now find me someone else who can make as much use out of a game.
well I should win because I still belive in Santa Claus!!! I also never play on Playstation
:(
because its that time of the year were myself and the lads battle it out on the PS3 most nights, i cant take much more of seein red in fifa and would appreciate actually been able to punch their heads in at hockey witout any consequences..
I’ve got nothing to lose doing this, as you have nothing to lose giving me the games. A freakishly simple solution?Yes. Besides i think it’s a bit better than trying to convince you i’ve 10 starving children in Cambodia, because honestly, what Irish person has every been in Cambodia?Any wonder, i hear the public transport and battered sausages are awful there.
So now my friends i leave you with an answear to a question i was never asked:
YES WE CAN!
because it is about time I learned to use PS3 - my son has promised if I get him NHL 10 he will teach me. If I don’t win I will be using a pre-historic gameboy on Christmas Day while the rest of my family play PS3
Well obviously it is because I’m pretty and awesome. And yet also it is because I can trade in the hockey game I have no interest in for a much better one and play Dragon Age until I make the main character have gay sex with the elf. You can do that you know.
Well obviously it is because I’m pretty and have great hair. Yet also it is because I can trade in the hockey game I have no interest in for a much better one and play Dragon Age until I make the main character have gay sex with the elf. You can do that you know. I’m just being honest here.
Ok, it was genuinely difficult to pick. I usually just hit the random number generator, but this time I asked for interesting, funny and heartfelt replies. I recruited a team of comment pickers (so as to remove all blame away from myself) and the winners are…
