Exclusive Competition | The 50 Greatest Video Games of All Time [news]

Does it have to be essay-like, or can you make use of the odd swear/couple jokes?

Lol, you decide Essentially make it short, sweet and try to be unique. A paragraph or so, nothing too long! Longer it is less chance we'd read it

ohhh ive seen that book somewhere but i cant remeber!?!?!?

..I'll try my hardest not to confuse you with my big words.

"The promise of mature gaming on the GameCube finally comes from a top quality release courtesy of Nintendo itself. Get ready to shoot, jump and puzzle your way through Metroid Prime, the creepiest, coolest GameCube game yet.

As difficult to pigeonhole as its predecessors, Metroid Prime is not, despite what the first person viewpoint might suggest, just a shoot-'em-up. Containing as much platform jumping and puzzle solving as shooting, the game is more like an action-based version of Zelda than any one-note Doom clone."

Is something like this OK!?!? And only 88 words long

ahh i see youve read my post...

Come on C3! I want a competition that I can enter!!

Hey JB, how about we do our own top 50 games? We all vote and see which is the favorite?

That's something that can be done soon after the competition closes, I'm sure.

As for the person marking your entries, that would be me, your trusty Head Writer

You CAN swear, but it's not going to help your cause as I don't particularly tolerate it much. Make it funny, serious, spooky even (since Halloween is coming up). Just make it creative and I'll judge the best three

Oh heck yes, I've been waiting for this book to finally come out.

You can't just ask me what my favourite game is, I have hea... oh, I can't enter it anyway. Ok then I'll just go to Nintendo.com.au and enter one of their shitty contests

EDIT: Like the idea Tiamat

Aww man, being staff means I can't enter anymore!

...Although I have won two competitions over the past three years through Cubed3, so it's probably fair

SO jesusraz...what sort of bribes are you taking? I'm sure we can arrange something....

"We do not hold responsibility for the prize being lost" ...jb put that there so he could nab a copy??

Yay! i'll have a go at entering but it's so hard to pick out of my 3 top games: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Donkey Kong Country and Shenmue.

I would write about "Little Big Adventure"...the masterpiece game created by Fredric Raynal. (who also created the survival horror genra before Capcom nicked it).

I could talk for ages about LBA, the wonderious explorable worlds, the zelda-ish puzzles, the fantasticaly well told story.

But if I started writting, I wouldnt be finnished till next week :p

Would it be possible if we got to read the winning entries?

Well done people!
