So this is the reality of who we are as a community: gamers who love to play, be it the hardcore action of Bionic Commando or the more casual calorie-burning fun of Just Dance.
Something for everybody (more or less), though it will be interesting to see what percentage of you play for BOTH!
Also, these games are both sealed so they could easily be converted into great gifts. Play for yourself and/or the gamer in your life.
Here's how to enter and boost your odds with up to 4 chances to win:
- Enter a comment here, as usual. BE SURE TO SAY WHICH GAME(S) YOU ARE PLAYING FOR. That's all you really NEED to do.
- Tweet the following on Twitter: Win Bionic Commando and Just Dance at BusyGamerNews.com, home of the Busy Gamer Podcast: RT + Enter here: http://bit.ly/l67QKt #bgnfsf
- Review (or re-review) our Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes.
- Review (or re-review) the Best of Busy Gamer Podcast on iTunes. This is a short audio highlights feed with our reviews, audio tours and other timeless bits!
If you do 2, 3 and/or 4 (and why wouldn't you?), you do need to let us know your Twitter/iTunes name(s) in your comment so we can find, verify and include your bonus entries in the drawing and match them up to contact you if one of them wins.
If we can't confirm the bonus entry and easily tell who you are on Twitter and/or iTunes, the bonus entry is disqualified.
You DO have to enter a comment here and follow the other rules to be eligible:
Simply post a comment on this page, and say which game(s) you'd want if your number comes up. (You can do the other things listed above if you want to earn some extra chances to win.) Say whatever is on your mind as long as it's not an ad or profane. Be sure to read the Sweepstakes Rules to ensure you are eligible to win and don't get disqualified by double-posting or forgetting to provide an e-mail address.
NOTE: If you play for extra chances on Twitter or by posting podcast reviews on iTunes, you still have to enter here AND let us know your Twitter and/or iTunes names so we can match you up. iTunes ratings alone do not count since we can't see who posted them, so add or update a comment! If you already posted an iTunes review, you can still update your review once a week for a bonus entry in each week's giveaway. Just log in to iTunes and click Write a Review; it should load your existing review and let you modify it. Make a change (even a small one) and then check to ensure that it appears on top with the new date or it won't count!
You may also want to white list this domain; we've had MANY would-be winners lose out because they never responded to their prize notification! If you use TypeKey/TypePad, be sure your e-mail address will be shared. No e-mail address, no prize. (Don't worry, no one else will see it - and we'll only use it to contact you if you win.)
Note that unless you're an authenticated poster who has been active on the site and marked as trusted, your comment will NOT appear immediately. It will go into a queue for me to approve, which I'll do several times a day (except the first weekend, where comments may not be approved until sometime late on Sunday). Do NOT double-post. We'll extend the entry period for this until 8:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, May 11 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.
We also sometimes give away unannounced Instant Win prizes and podcast extras. Here are a few tips since this can happen at any time. 1) Follow Gamewatcher on Twitter. Before we post the next Instant Win, we'll give you a fair warning tweet. 2) Subscribe to our RSS feed and set it to check for updates frequently.
We continue to stock up on cool goodies for Free Stuff Friday - and we will keep doing so as long as there's enough response, even if we continue to lose money on this site. So tell your friends about this! Hey, if we get bigger, so will the prizes that YOU could win! While you're at it, post comments wherever you see something interesting. Also, if you get a game code you don't need or have some other cool game-related prize you want to donate, we'd be very grateful (we pay for much of this stuff ourselves!).
Im into hardcore action (gaming on XBOX of course yea i know i set myself up for that one)
Bionic Commando is my choice if i were lucky enough to win ;) Twitter: @Nikibaby219
I'm playing for Bionic Commando. Both games seem great. Unfortunately, I do not have a Wii. :(
Great idea. Results should be interesting.

Not gonna lie,I would love to win just dance and get my dance on,game looks hella fun :P.
Twitter:@hestar69
Well, I can't dance and I don't have a Wii, so that leaves me with Bionic Commando. Which is fine, because I was a fan of the original. Plus, Mike Patton voices Nathan Spencer.
I would like to play for Bionic Commando PLZ!
Woo! Bionic Commando on the the Xbox 360 all the way! I hope to win! ^^
Wanna get my dance on with Just Dance!
tweeted @arahal88
Ehh playing for both why not.
(Hoping for Bionic though)
@Darklurkr23
In for Just Dance could use to get out of the chair more often.
@Wuvein
Playing for both, though more curious about Just Dance.
@starkeee
Playing for either one, would love more games for my xbox360 or Wii.
I do not understand Just Dance, I barely comprehend it. I don't see the appeal. I just don't get it.
So yes I would like to enter for Just Dance because I'd love to actually have the game and maybe understand why it's one of the best selling Wii games. I've been turned before perhaps I shall again.
I would enjoy winning either game, so put me down for both. Thank you! :D
@secretclean
Playing for Bionic Commando, thanks for the opportunity. =)
I suppose I'm in for both, but I'd rather go for Bionic Commando!
@_Ludono_
Playing for Just Dance. I wonder if it will live up to the hype & I also already own Bionic Commando. Thanks for the contest!
I'll play for both, I do own all 3 consoles. Winning just makes it easier on my wallet when it comes to gift giving. But they will never know I re-gifted something I won from busygamersnes, kekeke. Thanks for the weekly giveaways.
I have Just Dance 2 and despite what onlookers may say, it's a great game. I'd welcome the opportunity to try out the first game and that's what I'm playing for. Thanks for the contest!

I will be playing for both this week

@aznxchunky
I'm going to put my vote up for Just Dance, my Wii could certainly use a bit of work, poor things getting dusty.
Playing for Bionic Commando. Core gaming.
Thanks for this opportunity!
Playing for either Bionic Commando or Just Dance. Bionic Commando would be my preference.
Twitter: @staulcub
Since there's no Bionic Dancing Commando, I'll just go with the plain, vanilla flavour of Bionic Commando.
RT'd as well.
@Rottenkorp
I'd like a copy of Bionic Commando :)
Thanks

Thanks for contest!

The winners are:
Bionic Commando: 9. SEGA Scream
Just Dance: 27. Heather
Counted them up and Bionic Commando had 39 entries and Just Dance had 18 (including people who entered for "both".) So a solid showing for both types of games, but clearly stronger core interest - or perhaps more 360 owners than Wii/multiconsole owners.
