DEAD RISING Contest Winners!

Date: Wednesday, August 02, 2006

Wow. The response for this contest was a bit overwhelming. So many emails, so many great stories, so many great entries. The job of picking only 6 winners was not easy. It was down right hard. Regardless, the show must go on, and winners must be picked. So without further ado, here they are:

Winner #1

I don't care about the money I just want the game. I have a cheating, lying whore bag of an ex-wife RAPING my wallet not to mention took all my stuff but the TV and my game systems (Thank GOD), and all I want is to kill zombies and imagine they are all her and the guy she was screwing (not at all bitter).

Please help me vent my frustrations as well as feel like I am not a complete loser.

Thanks,

Paul

You may be a complete loser, a complete loser with no wife at that, but at least now you're a complete loser with DEAD RISING

Winner #2

"Frank West"

Frank West, may I be so bold?
I know I'm just a zombie
But some like it hot
And some like it cold

I may be dead,
But my heart still beats for you
We missed each other at the mall
But let's meet at the zoo

I'll be easy to see
I have patches of hair and one perky breast
I may not have a jaw
But you can do the rest

Let us not drift apart!
Other zombies want to eat your head
Which they can have
For I want to feast on your heart instead

Not bad, the only poem I received, and not to shabby at that. You took some time, that much is clear, so enjoy your game.

Winner #3

Hey I know you said under 100 words but this picture is worth 1000.

Well, you were the only person to send me a picture, and you probably know more about zombies than any man should, so enjoy!

Winner #4

Dear Karl,

Can I just say that you look absolutely amazing today? Because you do. I hope to one day come close to your greatness, although I fear that may take a big part of my life.

The Dead Rising contest is an amazing concept that only heightens your appeal to all forms of individuals. Truly you are a master of compassion, dignity, and humility. By winning said contest I hope to attain some of your appeal and mastery of life.


May your greatness be a beacon of light to us all.

Thank you for consideration in your contest.

Well you win the award for best kiss-ass. Enjoy your copy, and I will try to live up to your expectations.

Winner #5

I've been married for almost five years, and our anniversary is coming up. My husband loves to play games, but thinks that I really don't have any interest in them, and that I don't like him to play them. He just bought an Xbox 360, and has wanted this game for a while. I thought he'd get a kick out of seeing the lengths I went to (researching the game and seeing this contest) to get this game for him. Please help me be a cool wife and give him this for our anniversary!

Eh, why not! Who am I to stand in the way of marital bliss.

Winner of Best Buy Gift Certificate

Why should I get a free copy? Because I'm a greedy bastard. No faux sob story here, I'm not going to tell you that my daddy lost his job working in the coal mine, or mother has to suckle twelve babies. I'm not going to say that I'm a struggling teenager working three jobs to put myself through school. If we want the game, it means we have a 360, so we can't be that bad off. They say honesty is the best policy. I could buy the game, but I'd rather you just give it to me.

You don't get a copy of the game, but your honesty has gotten you a Best Buy gift certificate. Enjoy!


Well, that is it. The five winners each will receive a copy of DEAD RISING for XBOX 360, while our master of honesty will walk home with the gift certificate.

A lot of great entries are still sitting in my inbox, and I hate that you all couldn't win. I will have more contests, keep entering, sooner or later you will get lucky!

The game solely on Xbox is due to be released August 8th, be sure to check it out.
