In the beginning, there was Fallout: a gritty post-apocalyptic turn-based role-playing game. And it was so successful, it spawned a sequel. Which you can win, if you're lucky!
Fallout 2 picks up 80 years later and involves a quest to find a Garden of Eden Creation Kit (GECK). Fans of Fallout 3 will be familiar with this device. The game is much deeper than the original while preserving the successful game mechanics (which were tossed aside for the more recent entries in the series in favor of a first-person shooter feel).
But if you have a PC, love old school RPGs and want to strap on your PIPBoy 2000 and go up against the Enclave yet again, here's your chance!
Here's how to enter and boost your odds with up to 4 chances to win:
- Enter a comment here, as usual. That's all you really NEED to do.
- Tweet the following on Twitter: Win Fallout 2 at BusyGamerNews.com, home of the Busy Gamer Podcast: RT + Enter here: http://bit.ly/kjLjcU #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. (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, June 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 (and we're due for one!). 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!).
First to comment and first to twitter!

I won the saboteur heres hopeing I can hit the lotto a second time with fallout 2!
I actually prefer this style of Fallout. I hope they continue to make it this way or at least do it both ways.
Hope I win
I have already played Fallout 1, 2, brotherhood, and 3 and would like to replay 2 as I long lost my copy. The game is good and fun I love it.
@ropes
I've never played Fallout 2. I'd be interested in this.
@Gram_Cracker
Never did play any fallout before 3. I have heard good things.
Looks like a great opportunity for me to play FO2 so I can see if the FO3 haters on No Mutants Allowed are justified in their claims. Thanks for the contest, Gamewatcher.
I do not have this game, but it's one I have been wanting to play for a really long time, so I'm gonna enter. =P I really liked the first Fallout.
