A Strategy Guide for your Strategy Guides

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Strategy Guide Giveaway

By Leave a Comment

FFX/X-2 HD strategy guideSince Square Enix is releasing a brand new HD remaster for Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2, BradyGames decided to publish a brand new strategy guide for the occasion instead of bring out the original strategy guides from a vault. I assume there’s a vault.

I also assume that you can use your original strategy guides if you have them, as this is just a visual remaster, not a remix like the Kingdom Hearts games. But if you want the latest and greatest or just like new and shiny books, here’s how you can win one from BradyGames.

My original idea was to have contestants submit a short video of them mimicking the awkward laugh scene from FFX. You know exactly what I’m talking about. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized no one would submit anything. Hell, I wouldn’t submit anything for that type of contest. So here’s something a little more palatable.

This will be available to both Twitter and Facebook fans. If you follow us in both venues, then hey, you can enter twice. Once again, it’s US contestants only.

Twitter Rules

  • Follow @strategyreviews on Twitter.
  • Tweet to @strategyreviews which FFX game you’re most excited to play again or play for the first time, FFX or FFX-2. Your tweet must include the hashtag #FreeGuideFriday.
  • All entries must be in by Friday, March 21st, at noon. I will randomly pick a winner at that time.

South Park: The Stick of Truth Strategy Guide Giveaway

South Park: The Stick of Truth strategy guideI have been eagerly waiting for South Park: The Stick of  Truth since it was first announced a couple of years ago, and I’m so excited it’s finally here. I’m even more excited that there’s a strategy guide for it, as that naturally bumps up its playing priority. The folks at Prima Games are so excited about it and love you all so much, they’ve given me an extra one to give away. After reading just the first 20 pages of the strategy guide, trust me, you guys are all in for a treat. It’s so obvious the writers had as much fun writing this strategy guide as this did playing the game.

So how do you win this? I’m getting to that, and I want this to be a little more fun than usual.

Free Guide Friday Giveaway – Pokemon X & Y Postgame Adventure

By Leave a Comment

pokemonxy-postgameFor whatever reason, the Pokemon Company opted to divide the strategy guide for Pokemon X & Y into two guides. I now have in my hands The Official Kalos Region Pokedex & Postgame Adventure Guide for Pokemon X & Y. That’s a mouthful. One is going to a reviewer, and the other, thanks to Prima Games for sending two, will go to a Pokemon fan.

It contains the complete Pokedex for Pokemon X & Y, strategies for the postgame (finally), and a poster. If you own the first guide, might as well round out your collection.

Want this for free? Read on.
