We have a treat for console gamers who have put off their return to Rapture.
That's right, BioShock 2 for BOTH PS3 and Xbox 360! And it's got it all: Big Daddies, Little Sisters, Big Sisters and more plasmids, Adam and Eve than you can safely consume in a single sitting.
Find out more about the game - one of our runners-up for Busy Gamer game of the year - in our Busy Gamer Review, listen to GrrlGotGame's audio review (which includes the most onscure and difficult to find game clip we've ever collected, the sound of a Little Sister threatening her abductor in the multiplayer game!) and even the quirky musical score in our music of BioShock segment.
If you read our article on the true meaning of Sucker Punch this week and wondered what the BioShock 2 reference was all about, this could be your chance to find out - for free!
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 PLATFORM(S) YOU'RE PLAYING FOR. That's all you really NEED to do.
- Tweet the following on Twitter: Win BioShock 2 for #PS3 and #Xbox360 at BusyGamerNews.com, home of the Busy Gamer Podcast: RT + Enter here: http://bit.ly/fndjOb #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 whether you'd want the Xbox 360 or PS3 version - or if you'd be happy with either. (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, April 27 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!).

I rented Bioshock 2, but I quickly returned it because it didn't save and I lost an hour's worth of progress and it bummed me out so much that I couldn't turn it on again. It's been a while since then, so maybe now I can give it another shot! I'll enter for the PS3 version.

Been trying to win something for my nephew for days and this would be the perfect gift! I bought him an Xbox 360 and NBA Jam on wednesday, but when i was watching the celtics game last night he made a comment that he doesn't like basketball. Needless to say i don't have a game to go along with his xbox for when i see him next weekend :(

@incphi
Would love to win the 360 version. Bought Minervas Den when it was on sale as I knew it would rarely go on sale and I would pick up Bioshock 2 eventually when it was super cheap. Although I'd love to just win a copy also. Thanks for the contest.
