Winter THAW
Tired of all the cold and snow? It never snows in LA, you know.
Published: December 2, 2005
In the continuing tradition of helping brighten these winter months, we're offering yet another way to move to a warmer climate - at least digitally. We weren't smoking crack when we said we thought Tony Hawk's American Wasteland was the best game in the series; we really do think that.
No, it's certainly not as aimed at the hardcore crowd as it was in games past, but the level designs, and most importantly the presentation for all the storyline bits that are now intrinsically tied to the series have gotten more refined and actually offer some real motivation to finish the challenges.
We love the game, but rather than just pointing you to the review and suggesting that you "pick it up" like most of our reviews, we've decided to put our money where our mouths are and just give you a copy. Technically, it's Activision's money, and it's actually five copies of the game, but hey, semantics.
Entering the giveaway is the same as it's always been: head to the forums and register an account if you don't already have one, make sure your mailing info's plugged into your profile so we know where the send the game, and then click the contests link at the top of the forums. Click on the contest you're interested in (we've got one for the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller ending soon, plus giveaways for Ultimate Spider-Man and Call of Duty 2: Big Red One there too), and you're set. Easy peasy.
