Everybody likes free games!!!

[DenisDenis]

We were having a drink with the guys yesterday and came up with a cool giveway idea.

Whoever makes the best 'Mad Tracks XBLA' thread in an Xbox related forum (outside Xboxic) gets a free PC Mad Tracks. This way, you can start practicing while waiting for the XBLA version... ;)

Post your links in this thread.
We will review them with the Load Inc. boys and let you know wich thread we liked best (we might reward 3 or 4...).

Definitely a good friday, no?

[Studley]

Seeing as Denis is so great, doesn't this deserve a news post on the front page? Preferably full of info about Mad Tracks (PC and 360)?

O-)The post about Mad Tracks is definitely 'under construction' but I'm not going to actively propagate spamming other forums on the frontpage ;) Something with "there are friends in this business I want to keep" ;)

[Paul Tancred]

If you gave him your address I'd reckon he sent you one. Otherwise, I doubt it as he won't know where you live.

I gave him my address. I'm just questioning because I live across the pond.

Hey denis, just want to let you know i got my game today. I was in Arizona (it's way to hot there), and came back today. When i got back (yes, this is story time,) my dad was telling me about the mail, and how the mailman flagged my dad down, and asked him if he knew anyone in france before my dad accepted the package. Quite funny, but thanks again. I'm going to play it tommorow, as it's midnight rightnow, and I have jet lag. But, thanks again!

edit: spelling

[Curry]

I wouldn't trust unexpected packages from France either! :+

Good job Denis :)

There's always the compromise of saying you don't know what's right ;) Which we are doing in the case of Hold'em actually: our current stance is that all announcements said it will be free but there are rumors that suggest otherwise ;)
