Get Ready for Black Friday

Lookie what I got from Maxis yesterday!
That’s right folks, 14 games to give away.
On Friday the 28th of November, I’ll be giving away a copy of MySims for PC and MySims Kingdom for the Wii.
Here’s how it’s going to work:
Look for the giveaway post that I publish on Friday after 8am CDT.
#1 Post a comment on the Black Friday Giveaway post stating which game you want and why - you have to choose one.
#2 Write your own post on your blog with a link back to the Black Friday Giveaway post and then make sure to leave me a comment on my post with a link back to yours.
#3 Twitter about the giveaway, stumble it and Digg the giveaway - make sure that you leave a comment with the URLS on the Black Friday post so that I know that you did it.
You get one point for #1. You get five points for #2 and you get 1 point for each tweet link and for each stumble and Digg.
The contest ends at 11:59pm on Sunday the 30th of November. I’ll add up the points sometime on Dec. 1st and let you know the two people who won - one Wii winner and one PC winner.
Keep in mind that I’ll only ship within the contiguous 48 states and that if you don’t reply to my “you won” email within 48 hours that I’ll void your win and offer it to the person with the next highest score. Since I will be contacting the winners via email, make sure that you leave a valid email address or all of your efforts will be for naught.
So, mark the 28th in your calendar and get ready to comment, post and stumble your way into an awesomely free game.

SimAnimals

Have you heard about the newest game coming to a DS and Wii near you? SimAnimals is like the Sims meets Zoo Tycoon. What sucks is that it’s not coming to PC as of yet. Maybe Maxis will take pity on us lowly PC owners and throw us a bone. Anyway, the game is available Jan ‘09 and looks to be a pretty cool buy.

MySims Online Games

For those of you who don’t know about it already, MySims came out back in September for the Nintendo Wii. It’s a cute cartoonish version of the Sims and is already getting a large following.
I was checking out the MySims website today when I came across a few fun looking online games. These little flash diversions include a Sushi Chef Minigame, the Create-a-Thing Minigame, and DJ Candy’s Room Designer.
The whole website is actually very cute. If you’re a parent who knows that your kids are into video games but you want to keep them away from the really violent ones, MySims looks like a really good idea.
