In honor of Black Friday, we have an A-list game for one lucky winner: Crackdown 2 for Xbox 360, still sealed. A prize worthy of a holiday gift, if not for yourself then enter on behalf of the action gamer in your life! Pacific City has seen better days; there are zombies to run over and orbs to collect - including some that run away from you!
As a bonus, if you listen to Busy Gamer Podcast 57, you can hear audio samples from the game and find out how to enter for a podcast exclusive prize: Telltale's just released Poker Night at the Inventory for PC and Mac, which includes a code for exclusive Team Fortress 2 Steam unlockable items as well as entertaining banter from Penny Arcade's Tycho, Strong Bad, The Heavy and the irrepressible Max. There's even a PAX-exclusive preorder poster (pictured above)!
Here's how to enter and boost your odds to win one or both of these great games (bonus entries will apply to BOTH prizes if we can match you up to them!):
- Enter a comment here, as usual. That's all you really NEED to do. Be sure to enter for Poker Night separately (follow the directions in the podcast!)
- Tweet the following on Twitter: Win Crackdown 2 and Poker Night at the Inventory at BusyGamerNews.com, home of the Busy Gamer Podcast: http://bit.ly/gGm63w #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 DO SAY WHICH GAME(S) YOU ARE PLAYING FOR. (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. Check to ensure that it appears on top with the new date!)
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 6:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, December 1 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. Check our Busy Gamer Podcast on Sundays for possible hints about what's coming. Follow Gamewatcher on Twitter. Before we post the next Free Stuff Bonus - 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!).

Was thinking about finally reinstalling iTunes and sorting out my license issues this weekend. So, I'll probably add two more entries later.

Entry for crackdown 2,thanks
Yet another giveaway, how awesome is that!
Loved the first Crackdown, Orbssssssss :)
Only got to play Crackdown 2 (THE DEMO), yet I had a good time with a couple of buddies of mine simply fooling around in it over xbox live.
This is the only way for me to submit my entry, but I wanted to say that I just listened to your podcast on the main page for the first time. I enjoyed it, I like how it was brief and not an hour long. The sound bits were great and nicely executed. :) The kid review was cute and well done.
- My only gripes were that sometimes it felt a bit robotic, like reading off a piece of paper (a bit dull) and you two constantly switch back and forth, found it hard to stay focused.
I suggest maybe trying to talk to each other throughout the podcast at times and expressing your opinions on certain topics, but most importantly for me is SOUND MORE ALIVE!!!
I enjoyed it though, I'll be checking the next one to see how things go :)
Thanks and good luck to everyone.
It would be cool to win Crackdown 2.
I just started playing the first Crackdown. Would love to win the sequel!
Thanks!
I've been wanting Crackdown 2 for a while! Thanks a bunch for giving us a chance to win!

id like to enter for crackdown 2, awesome giveaway.
In for either, although I'm hoping for Crackdown 2 should I be lucky enough.
Tweeted under @NeoHumanity.
I would love to review your podcast, but I can't be bothered to install iTunes just to do it. Apple should really have a limited web interface for stuff like that.
I'll play for Crackdown 2!
I will enter this contest! Crackdown 1 was so fun. It was the first sandbox game that I thought was very good. Crackdown 2 should not disappoint.
Will tweet @EeveeFanboy
Count me in for Crackdown 2.
I know Crackdown 2 is MOTS, but I loved the first and would love another "crack" at it. Get it? Hawr.
