Astro Cluster + invAIders XBLIG Code Contest (CLOSED)

Skoddle the developer of 'Astro Cluster', and Martian Face Games the developer of 'invAIders' recently gave me some codes to giveaway to my readers/followers. I have already given away two of the 'Astro Cluster' codes here on the site, but I have one left. I also have 4 'invAIders' codes to giveaway. I decided to do the contest through my youtube channel this time around, but since some of my readers/followers don't have a youtube channel I decided to allow comments on this blog post as well.

The rules of the contest are simple. All I want you to do is tell me about something impressive you have done in a video game. The more impressive the better your odds of winning will be. The contest will end this friday (Sept. 2). On Saturday I will read through all of the entries/comments, and decide on my 5 winners. The most impressive comment/entry will get their choice of either the Astro Cluster code, or one of the invAIders codes. The remaining winners will get what's left over. Remember to leave your Twitter Username if you enter here on my blog ;)

*NOTE* You Can Enter Here On The Blog/Under This Post, or On My Youtube Video That's On MY Youtube Channel: Youtube Astro Cluster + invAIders Contest

I wish all of my followers/readers the best of luck!

Astro Cluster XBLIG Code Contest 2!!!

I'm a huge fighting game fanatic as most of you know by now, so I thought I'd incorporate that interest of mine into today's contest. Like I mentioned before, this will be different from the trivia based contest of yesterday. The contest will also last until 8pm EST tonight. All you have to do to win the Astro Cluster Code is name the most fighting games. These can be from any console, arcade, or even imports. Only 1 comment per person will be allowed. In the event of a tie, I will decide on a tie-breaker to decide the winner. I wish all my readers the best of luck! Let The Game Begin!!! ...

*NOTE* Leave your Twitter username in the comment so I have a way to contact you if you win. The winner can join @Skoddle, myself, and some fellow reviewers/gamers for an Astro Cluster game night this coming Saturday at 8pm EST/EDT. Contact @Skoddle through Twitter to find out details on the game night, and to let him know you would like to join in. If you buy the game you can also join in, just let us know that you want to. The more players we have the better!

Astro Cluster XBLIG Game Code Contest 1!!!

Skoddle, the developer of 'Astro Cluster' has given me 3 codes for the full game to giveaway to 3 of my readers. Those of you who have followed my blog probably know that I love to do trivia based contests. This time around only one of the game codes will be given away through trivia though. The remaing two codes will require different methods for entry. I will begin with the trivia based contest first ...

Upcoming LIVE Astro Cluster (XBLIG) Party July 10, 2011!!!

Last night I was lucky enough to share some Live Xbox 360 matches of 'Astro Cluster' with the developer, and some fellow gamers/reviewers. This was actually my third, or fourth time playing alongside Skoddle (of Skoddle Games). He happens to be one of the nicest guys, and XBLIG developers I know. It's not often I've met someone as kind as him. Currently the sales of his game have been somewhat limited, but that doesn't stop him from improving the quality of the game. Recently he even made an update to make the game more user friendly. He has definitely gone out of his way to make the game a fun experience for those who purchased it. The live matches he hosts shows that he truly cares about his customers. His goal is to make sure the Astro Cluster players can enjoy the game to it's fullest. Since it is a strong multiplayer based game it's nice to be able to join others even if it is only on special occasions. If you would like to join us next Sunday be sure to get the game. It's only 80 msp ($1), and every bit worth the asking price. You should also send @Skoddle a tweet letting him know that you would like to join in. I think it's awesome what Skoddle has done for his gaming community, and I'm glad to be a part of it. In my lifetime as a gamer I would have never dreamed I would be gaming with a developer of a video game. It truly is an opportunity that shouldn't be passed up.

Skoddle Game's "Astro Cluster" Possible LIVE Weekend Matches

I've been doing Xbox Live Indie Game reviews just for a short while now. It has truly been a dream job for me, and Andy Merrill of xblaratings.com made that possible. While doing reviews for Andy I reviewed a game titled 'Astro Cluster'. The game ended up recieving a '10' rating which was the highest available on the site. It rightfully deserved it as well. I'm not going to go over the review here out of respect for Andy, and xblaratings.com. If you want to read the review you can find it at www.xblaratings.com. There's also a link to that site here on my blog. After reviewing the game, the developer @Skoddle replied to my review with a kind message complimenting me. It's not every day that I recieve compliments from a game developer, so this was a special moment for me. @Skoddle ended up inviting me to play online with him, and I did not hesitate to accept. The first online match we played was without the headset, but it was still very fun. We ended up sampling all of the multiplayer modes, and had a good time doing so.
