For this week’s not-quite-the-holidays-yet giveaway, we’ve got a Band Hero prize pack for the Nintendo Wii and DS lined up for one lucky winner. That’s right! Not just Band Hero for your silly old home console, but also for your handheld (that is, unless you have a Nintendo DSi or XXL — sorry!). Prepare to be embraced by friends and relatives as a genuine American (or Canadian, excluding Quebec) hero while playing along to your favorite Taylor Swift song.
In honor of last night’s Video Game Awards (and the subsequent flood of news and trailers), we’re asking you to tell us what your favorite trailer or news was from the World Premiere-stravaganza. We’ll pick one winner at random this week, so as always, be sure to keep an eye on the inbox!
- Leave a comment telling us what your favorite trailer or news was from last night’s World Premiere-stravaganza (the VGAs).
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec — likely because of The Kids in the Hall).
- Limit 1 entry per person per day
- This entry period ends at 7:31PM ET on Monday, December 13
- At that time, we’ll randomly select one winner to receive one copy of Band Hero for Nintendo DS ($50 ARV) and one copy of Band Hero for Nintendo Wii ($50 ARV).

If you’re anything like us, you’ll be spending a decent part of your holiday stuck in the seat of a train, bus, automobile, or aeroplane, heading towards wherever “home” is for the upcoming holidays. We know how nice it can be to pick up a new game or two for the travels ahead, and in the spirit of that we’re giving out a DS/PSP travel pack for this week’s Swag Saturday including both Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Tell us your best (gaming or non-gaming) holiday travel story (keep it clean, folks! — no “mile high club” stories!) and we’ll pick one winner at random to receive the travel pack early this week. As always, keep an eye on the email address tied to your commenting name to find out if you’ve won!
- Leave a comment telling us your best (gaming or non-gaming) holiday travel story.
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec — which may have to do with the Ubisoft Petz franchise)
- Limit 1 entry per person per day
- This entry period ends at 9:31PM ET on Sunday, December 6
- At that time, we’ll randomly select one winner to receive one copy of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days for Nintendo DS ($35 ARV) and one copy of Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny for Sony PSP ($40 ARV).

We know we’ve been pushing nothing but family entertainment on you with our Swag Saturday posts for a few weeks now, and, well, this week isn’t much different. We’ve got a prize pack full of two “2010 Edition” Nintendo Wii games that are sure to get the family together and, quite possibly, at each others throats (in a wholesome kinda way): Family Feud and The Price is Right! Hey, one of those even has the word “family” in the title!
To get your hands on the prize pack, all you have to do is leave a comment telling us what your favorite game show of all time is. We’ll pick a winner at random from the entries sometime this week, so be sure to check those inboxes!
- Leave a comment telling us what your favorite game show of all time is.

Here it is, folks: your chance to beat up relatives all throughout the holiday season, albeit from the relative safeness of Tekken 6’s confines! For this week’s Swag Saturday, we’re giving out a copy of Tekken 6 for the Xbox 360 to one lucky commenter who tells us which fictitious holiday character (think: Santa, the Easter Bunny) they’d like to beat up the most, and with which Tekken 6 character they’d like to do so with. Fancy a battle of Kuma vs The Tooth Fairy? Perhaps Jack-6 vs George Washington (wait, he was real?!)? We want to hear about it!
- Leave a comment telling us which fictitious holiday character (Santa, the Easter Bunny, etc.) you’d like to beat up most, and with which Tekken 6 character they’d like to do so with.
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec, mostly due to the gravitational quotient of poutine)
- Limit 1 entry per person per day
- This entry period ends at 6:01PM ET on Sunday, November 22
- At that time, we’ll randomly select one winner to receive one copy of Tekken 6 for Xbox 360 ($60 ARV).

Update: This contest is officially closed and the winners will be notified shortly. Please check your email inboxes, folks!
With the holiday game release season officially upon us, it’s quite possible that you’ll find yourself (like us) jammed on a couch next to relatives who – at least passingly – show interest in the video games we know and love. Sometimes, these folks even ask to play alongside us, eschewing their morals for entertainment (for shame!). It’s during these times that we reach for our second or third controller. But what if you only have one controller for your PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360? WHAT THEN?! Then you can turn to Swag Saturday for the possibility of winning one!
We’ve got one silver PS3 DualShock 3 and two Halo 3: ODST limited edition controllers to give away to three lucky readers. All you have to do is tell us a story about gaming with family during past holidays in the comments below. We get your crazy stories, you get our fancy controllers – talk about a win-win! Prize winners will be alerted by email early this week, so keep your ear to the internet, folks.
- Leave a comment telling us a story about gaming with family during past holidays.
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec, based on the outcome of the War of 1812)
- Limit 1 entry per person per day
- This entry period ends at 6:31PM ET on Sunday, November 15
- At that time, we’ll randomly select three winners to receive one PS3 DualShock 3 (estimated $55 ARV) or one of two Halo 3: ODST limited edition Xbox 360 controllers (estimated $50 ARV each).

After getting beaten handily by the folks attending Capcom’s NYC Fight Club this week, we were given the tagged black bag you see above, full of consolation prizes (for our bruised egos).

From the fancy event art to the always important Tatsunoko vs. Capcom towel, this goodie bag comes packed full of semi-exclusive swag. To get your hands on it, all you have to do is leave a comment below telling us who your favorite Street Fighter character of all time is. We’ll pick one of you at random next week to receive the goods. In the meantime, we’ll be over here, putting that bruised ego on ice.

It’s time for Swag Saturday once again, and this week’s prize is a doozy. Up for grabs we have not one, not two, but three Guitar Hero games.

- Leave a comment telling us about your favorite rock and roll moment.
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec, due to a domestic dispute)
- Limit 1 entry per person per day

With BlizzCon wrapping up today as well as GamesCom, it’s a heavy news weekend here on the Stiq. Thusly, we’re bringing you this week’s Swag Saturday a bit late in the day, but we’re throwing in a real gem to make up for it. We have one copy of Capcom’s critically acclaimed Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure for the Nintendo Wii.
In honor of Blizzard’s annual soiree, we want your best ideas for a new MMO for the WoW developer to create. There is but one stipulation: the game must be made for the Nintendo Wii. Putting aside Wii’s online concerns and the relative inability to communicate, how does the game work with the console? How does Blizzard make its next MMO for the Nintendo Wii? Good luck!
- Leave a comment telling us your best ideas for a new MMO made by Blizzard for the Nintendo Wii.
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada, excluding Quebec.(Nous sommes désolés, Québecois!)
- Limit 1 entry per person.
- This entry period ends at 3:31 pm ET on Sunday, August 23. We’ll randomly select one at that time to receive: one copy of Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure (ARV $70).
