Sine Mora (XBLA): "Code Contest FTW!!! (CLOSED)"

I have to honestly say that there has been in an increase in the amount of good game releases this year. I have got to review some pretty cool games so far, and there are definitely more on the way ...  Recently I was allowed (by Digital Reality & Grasshopper Manufacture) to review an extremely impressive shmup (shoot 'em up) called 'Sine Mora'. It offered the gamer a detailed story like I have never seen in an XBLA game. It also featured some breathtaking visuals, a soundtrack from Akira Yamaoka, and even boss designs by Mahira Maeda. It included all the things that make a game memorable, and all the things that make a game fun/challenging to play. After talking it over with Digital Reality's PR representative I was able to secure an extra code to this amazing game, and the first thing I thought of was how can I make this into a contest for my readers? In the past my contests/giveaways have been very easy. I didn't want that to be the case with this contest though. I wanted to be able to give it to someone who would truly appreciate it, someone who was willing to go the extra mile just to get the code. I'm glad to say I've found a way to do just that, and the following paragraph/s will give you details on how you can enter this extremely cool contest.

The very first, and most important thing you'll have to do to enter is like the 'Sine Mora' facebook page. This was a direct request from the PR/Digital Reality, and must be followed if you wish to have a shot at the prize. I will leave a link to the 'Sine Mora' facebook page in this article for easy access. You will also have to email me a photo/screen shot of your highest leaderboard score in a shmup video game. It can be from any console, handheld gaming device, or PC/MAC. It is important that you capture the photo/screen shot as clearly as possible, and that the initials that go along with the leaderboard score are readable. I'll need you to include a name of the game so that I'll know what it is, and your name as well. Be sure to use initials of the name you provide me with in the email on the game's leaderboard so I can verify It's really your score. If you don't have a shmup that you can play the XBLIG marketplace has some cheap $1 (80 msp) shmups that are really good (Decimation X3, Score Rush, Shoot 1UP, Game Type ...). The highest score sent in by the deadline will be the winner. I wish you all good luck, and may the best shmup player win!!!
