As you know I use iTunes to download all of my Podcasts (Even ours). Lately I have noticed our cast lacks what many of the others have: REVIEWS.

So write a review in iTunes, and once we hit 50 reviews, you could steer-clear of forking out your hard earned dough for this 360 periphrial:

Just go to iTunes and tell others why you honestly listen to our podcast and we’ll draw a winner from the reviews. Click here for our cast on iTunes.

Also tell your friends we need at least 50 reviews before a winner will be drawn.

Now I know what your thinking: This is just a shameless ploy to get noticed by iTunes subscribers. My answer is YUP. However if you’re not a listener or a viewer of the site it doesn’t matter. Also since this Xbox 360 Wireless Stearing Wheel cost me full price at release, I want something out of it.

This is your opportunity to help others (listen to a great Podcast) and help yourself (by feeling that you made more potential listeners aware of the show) oh and you got a cool 360 racing wheel as well.

I’m not sure if you guys caught this but if you didn’t you have to check this out.

Do You Know a Great Gaming Dad?

Do you know a terrific gaming Dad? Here’s your chance to show him some Father’s Day love and take a shot at winning an awesome prize for yourself*. Here’s how it works.

Write an original essay about a father (or male legal guardian) and gaming. Do you know a Dad who does a great job balancing gaming and fatherhood? Is he known for his patience with n00bs or his mad fragging skills? Does he play games with his kids? Is he raising his gamer offspring to play fair and follow the rules? (more…)

Gamers from all over now have the choice to choose their path to Lost Planet. You can choose to go through a casino in Las Vegas, or even the Las Vegas University while battling terrorist. Or you can trek your way through Mexico, where you’re the outsider and nobody wants you there. As the gamer, you have the option to choose how you get the copy of Lost Planet.

Please Choose either Rainbow Six: Vegas or Ghost Reacon Advance Warfighter 2. Which ever game has the majority of votes, will be the game the tournament is in. Once you have voted, please sign-up below by leaving your gamertag. Keep in mind that there maybe a chance your game is not the one the tournament is held in, so if you still want to play, please try to have a copy, or able to get a copy, of both.

The voting will go on for 2 weeks (June 11). At that point we will create the tournament and teams. Rules of the tournament and how it will work will be posted no later than Tuesday, May 29. I’m hoping for at least 48 players.
