For our last giveaway of 2010, we have a three-fer. Choose your prize or play for all three:
- Penguins! for PC - A fun Lemmings knock-off from WildTangent. Fun fact: We know the game's designer! Also: Penguins! What's not to love?
- Monopoly: Here & Now for PC - A modernized Monopoly with new tokens, higher rents and new settings. What's not to love?
- Patapon 2 - A treat for you PSP gamers, courtesy of OnyxPrimal (delivered as a game code which must be redeemed by Jan. 15, 2011!) What's not to love - if you have a PSP?
Here's how to enter and boost your odds to win one, two or maybe even all three prizes:
- Enter a comment here, as usual. That's all you really NEED to do. INCLUDE WHICH PRIZE(S) YOU'RE PLAYING FOR!
- Tweet the following on Twitter: Win Penguins!, Monopoly: Here & Now and Patapon 2 at BusyGamerNews.com, home of Busy Gamer Podcast: http://bit.ly/e3w2yt #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. DO SAY WHICH PRIZE(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 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 5:01 p.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, December 22 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 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!).

Hm I already have like four versions of Monopoly haha so I'm going to be going for Patapon 2 in this one
I'm planning to get a PSP soon, so Patapon 2 would be awesome if I won. Thanks!
I'm playing for Penguins!
Who doesn't like penguins? I actually have a penguin tattoo on my ankle. It is not as stupid as it sounds. I had a friend named Gwen that passed away, and a couple friends and I got the tattoo in her honor.
Penguins are awesome!

Played Monopoly Streets with my friend a bit and it was a lot of fun. However, it was buggy. Would like to see how Here and Now compares. http://twitter.com/e_goldfish/status/15972034353831936
Would love to win Patapon, I hear it's a great game! Plus, my PSP hasn't been getting much love lately :(

The download code for Patapon would be a really nice addition to my PSP collection, and it's digital so I can keep more than one game with me on the go!
