Well my week has been downright craptastic. Why don’t I see how I can make your week fantastic? How does a strategy guide giveaway sound for an AUTOGRAPHED copy of the Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City strategy guide? As fate would have it, I have two to give away.

Strategy guide writer extraordinaire Dan Birlew sent two autographed copies of his latest strategy guide just for all of you. I know the reviews for the game have been bad, but Dan, who is a HUGE Resident Evil fan, had a lot of fun with the game. He even wrote down what he loved about it, in case you would like to see another perspective on it.

So what does this have to do with the contest? Simple. Tell me in the comments why you will buy or have bought this game despite the poor reviews. The most creative answers will go in a drawing. And yes, I do promise that there will be a drawing. You have until 3 p.m. CST on Friday afternoon (today) to post.

If you win, be sure to thank Dan, won’t you? He has a handy contact form on his website and he can be harassed on Twitter.

I know it’s been awhile since we did one of these, but hey, I finally got one to give away! Hooray!

Thanks to the great people at Brady Games, I have copy of Street Fighter x Tekken strategy guide to give away to one lucky fighting game fan. So listen up and pay attention. Here is how the contest will work.

Entries will ONLY be accepted from comments to THIS POST. If you reply to me on Twitter or post on the Facebook page, it will not count as an entry. Ye has been warned, so quit yer bitchin’ now.

Once again, due to the expensive nature of international shipping and my pitiful bank account, I can only ship to US fans. International fans, if you really want to enter, then I will have to charge shipping. I’m really, really sorry about that. One day, when I get a ton of ad revenue and donations, I’ll be able to ship internationally. (HINT HINT HINT)

Now that the boring rules are out of the way, here is how you enter:

Are you Team Street Fighter or Team Tekken and why? Most creative answers will go into the Mass Effect hat for the drawing.

The drawing will be tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., CST. Put your creative thinking caps on and get to commenting! This pretty guide is just begging for a new home!
