Wiiding #3: PES 2008 (Wii)

As announced on Episode 95, we’re running the third of our Wiiding competition – in which we wiid out the best titles from our own collections and pass them on to those in need (that’s right – you!).

The prize this time round is Mani’s cherished copy of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 for Wii. Since it’s a Wii game, we regret to tell you that this contest is only open to residents in the UK & Ireland. There are three ways of entering, which are as follows:

1. Send us an email to wiidspodcast@gmail.com explaining in no more than 50 words why you deserve this game.
2. Send us an MP3 with your own football chant. This can be games-related, or specific to WiiDS – you’ve got complete freedom.
3. Rewrite the lyrics to the iconic Three Lions song (lyrics on the forums). Again, it can be games, it can be WiiDS – just send us something that’ll make us laugh.

We’ll be announcing the winner on Episode 99, so by my reckoning that means you have until Wednesday, May 6th, 2009 to enter – though I’ve no doubt Jack will correct me if that date is wrong… ;)

Best of luck, everyone

[Wiiding] Zack & Wiki: Quest For Barbaros’ Treasure

As we announced just before Christmas, throughout 2009 we will be giving away a range of free games. These ‘Wiiding’ competitions (nice one, Mani) will allow us to weed/wiid out titles from our own collections that we no longer have a use for but feel you lot need to play. First on the list is my copy of Zack & Wiki: Quest For Barbaros’ Treasure.

For those who don’t know, this Capcom-developed title is a point-and-click puzzle adventure, where each level is an intricate and often ingenius puzzle for you to solve, challenging players to interact with objects and the environment to unlock the treasure chest at the end. As if the gameplay wasn’t good enough on its own, the controls are incredible – this is perhaps the only third-party game that truly showcases what the Wii can do without the upcoming newfangled ‘MotionPlus’ add-on. Throw in some irresistable pirate charm and you have a classic in the making.

To win this fantastic game, recommended by the whole WiiDS team, all you have to do is one or more of the following:

  • Send us an email (wiidspodcast@gmail.com) explaining in no more than 50 words why you deserve to win this game
  • Send us a 30-second sound file with your best pirate impression (we’ve already had a strong contender for this one!)
  • Complete the WiiDS Blog Piratey Treasure Hunt

You have until 7pm GMT, Thursday February 12th, 2009. Best of luck!
