    Unbelievable Steam User Competition (USUC)

    Thought it was about time I gave something back to the Hexus.community by running a little competition. First though, I'd like to thank the Saracen and the other admin and mods for allowing me to post this. For without their permission, this post would have been cut down in seconds and my avatar staked for all to see.

    I've got 3 Steam Gifts to give away, they each unlock a full version of one of the following games (1 Gift = 1 game):


    Here's the catch. You must report back, within a few weeks, with your user review of the game you've won!

    Note: These are complete games, not Guest Passes as I'd originally stated. I'd been applying the name of one to the definition of the other. Sorry for any confusion.

    How to enter:

    Post which title from the above list you'd like to review.

    Competition rules:
    • Entry will close at 17:00 on Saturday 23rd July 2011.
    • One game per entry.
    • One entry per person.
    • Winners of each title will be chosen at random by yours truly. I'm aiming to get the results sorted that evening and will post them in this thread.
    • Entrants must have at least 5 posts to access this forum's private message service.
    • Winners will need to PM the email address associated with their Steam profile in order to receive their Gift.
    • By entering, winners agree to post their user review within a reasonable amount of time. Granted, there's lots to explore in Terraria, for instance, but you ought to be able to form an opinion of the game within a few weeks. Don't worry, it needn't be a Saracen-esk post
    • Winners must ensure they are eligible to redeem the Gift. More information can be found here.
    • If the prize becomes unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, you have my condolences. No alternative can be offered, it's a user give-away after all.
    • My decisions are final, there'll be no blood.
    • Them's the rules. You enter, you agree


    Good luck! Remember USUC!

    Sorry about excluding those of you who don't wish to use Steam, I don't have anything alternative to give right now. Hopefully something will crop up in the future.

    Results!

    oolon's received Sanctum.
    foskee's received and reviewed Sanctum.
    Blademrk's received and reviewed Post Apocalyptic Mayhem.
    funke_munke's received Terraria.

    Bumping because I messed up. The prizes aren't Guest Passes as I'd originally stated, they're gifts of complete games
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    This is a really nice idea, I'd enter but I've got no idea which one to go for.

    Sanctum is fun IMHO and is a hybrid tower defence and FPS game.

    I am interested in winning and will reviewing one, my first choice will be Sanctum, because... well I liked the artwork when I saw it in the steam sale.

    Re: Unbelievable Steam User Competition (USUC) - Update

    3 very different games indeed. There are Quick Looks for Sanctum and Terraria and I've found a WTF is? for Post Apocalyptic Mayhem (by the way, there's free DLC which unlocks a 4th track). They should give you a good idea whether these games are for you.

    Anyway, get those entries in!

    I've been hearing really good things about sanctum yet it only has a metascore of 69/100 so i'd really like to give it a bash without paying £10 tehehheee, can't believe I missed it at £2!

    Re: Unbelievable Steam User Competition (USUC) - Update

    @Jasp Thanks for the offer, however I think I'll just let this one run its course now. I'd meant to reply sooner but got caught up elsewhere.

    So far it's two entries for Sanctum with no takers for Terraria or Post Apocalyptic Mayhem?

    Re: Unbelievable Steam User Competition (USUC) - Update

    Sanctum is quite a good game, bought it after playing the demo during the sale.
    I would go for Post Apocalyptic Mayhem (which does look good from the trailer on Steam) but I don't know if I've got the HDD space left to install it.

    Re: Unbelievable Steam User Competition (USUC) - Update

    That's a wrap folks. I sort of anticipated a few more entries. As it is, there's 2 for Sanctum and 1 for PAM. No takers on Terraria.

    Fortunately, I've got an extra copy of Sanctum, so oolon and foskee don't have to fight it out. Blademrk, I'll pop a PM off to you shortly. Hope you all enjoy!

    If anyone fancies reviewing Terraria, please let me know
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
