Giveaway: RAGE, Killing Floor, Metro 2033 & More!



Congrats to:
RAGE
happita


Metro 2033
GLD


Killing Floor
TacoTown


Hitman Blood Money
lyndonguitar


Just Cause
OnePostWonder


Supreme Commander 2
Huddo93



A huge thanks to theonedub who has generously added the original Just Cause, Supreme Commander 2, and Hitman Blood Money to the giveaway!

To Enter: Post which game you are entering for, and what about this game that interests you. You can only enter for one game!

Requirements: TPU join date of August 2012 or earlier, post count of 50, and must not own the game (no exceptions). Here is the deal with those who have won before: All are eligible for all games, regardless if you've won before The only catch is this: everyone who has never won before will get their name entered twice, while those who have won before will be entered once. I see this as a fair way compromise

Closing Time: Saturday @5pm EST (+/- without notice ), with the winners announced shortly thereafter

Important: After the winners are announced they have 24 hours to claim their prize. If not, then the winner forfeits their prize, and a new winner will be drawn and announced.

Thanks to theonedub who has effectively doubled this giveaway!!! and thanks to everyone looking and partaking; hopefully we will get a bunch of good entries!!!

Ooo hard decision, metro or rage.

I guess RAGE please, because its developed by id software and I love games which have the GTA feel (hoping its like bulletstorm or so), so it must be good, even though I have read that graphics issues plague the game alot :/ but also heard that metro is a system hog.

I dont like zombies though and metro looks like a stalker type

Oh I have been wanting to get Metro for the longest time for a few reasons. One being I have heard its a pretty good game and I love FPS games. And 2 I love demanding hardware intense games which again I have heard its one of the most demanding games out there. Since I just got my self a new video card a Radeon HD 7870 I would love to test this game on my new video card.

So Metro is my Choice

It's true, Metro can be a beast to run. It gives my 2 7970s a full workout @2560.1440 but I like that, since very few games do nowadays

Lets see, I'm relatively new, but here goes.

I am interested in Metro 2033 due to its theme, Its in moscow. There has been many FPS with localities within the US, africa and europe, but never moscow ( at least in games I have played ) its a new city and a new perspective for me and since its based on a novel I hope the storyline is great.

I have loved a new perspective especially from russian or ex-soviet countries (I mean NO disrespect) remember back then a game called STAR WOLVES? it was a good game with new perspective, its like mechcommander but with spaceships. Or the original MAFIA, before 2k made the sequel, I say 2K made a great game, but a little too short for me. The original Mafia had hours of fun and a good storyline, and they got a full lineup of cars from the era. And then I saw The Godfather game, I am sorry its really incomparable, and as the italians say "forget about it".

I loved how these unknown games (seriously, we didn't have a clue of how good it is before playing) became my all time favorite. And to me personally, I crave for more, I got the hardware to fight, just let me have METRO 2033 to play

Don't want to kill enthusiasm for moscow, but most of metro happens underground; and its all the more awesome for it!

P.S.; Im not entering, i'm just here. I already won stuff last go round

Metro is a really awesome game, a deep fps that really does bring systems down to their knees. It's a very good game

Entering for Metro 2033. Only reason I can say I want the game is I love games set inside of Russia from COD4's couple of missions to even the setup of all of the CnC Red Alerts which I own multiple copies of. Have been thinking about buying the game for a long while now just haven't had the excess to do so.

I also love books, movies etc set in a post-nuclear world whether it be above or below ground. So this game just fits that build perfectly.

You might want to watch a budget horror movie called Chernobyl Diaries.

@Irony
Thanks man, when I go around with my foreign friends, the first thing I do is learn swear words in their language. So in this case I learn moscow underground first, no harm or foul.

I'd love to play killing floor, I've seen people on youtube play it and I could just never force myself to pull the trigger and pay for it.

I have all 3, but never played Metro..Rage was okay for a playthrough, and Killing Floor was alright but I find L4D to be a much better game if only because of the ease and polish and character interaction, but KF is much grittier and horror like.
