This week's prize, for one lucky winner, is the PC version of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.
The game is an open world third-person shooter set in modern Venezuela where you play as mercs Jennifer, Chris or Mattias and battle through destructible environments.
If this sounds like your kind of game, well, maybe this is your lucky week!
To enter:
Simply post a comment on this page. 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.
You may also want to white list this domain; we've had several 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 Thursday, November 12 to ensure you have plenty of time to enter and verify your entry was posted.
We also sometimes give away unannounced Instant Win prizes. Here are a few tips since this can happen at any time. (We just gave away several and have more in the hopper! Check our Busy Gamer Podcast on Sunday for some hints about what's coming!) 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 most of this stuff ourselves!).
Check back each Friday to see what's next.

Heard this game was rather decent. Didn't it have Sarah Palin as a playable character in DLC?

Wow, this is the first time ever typekey has kept me logged in. I wonder what has changed?
NOTE FROM GAMEWATCHER (added here to avoid throwing off the contest count): That's due to the painful Movable Type upgrade I finally did this week (and continue to work to recover from).

Mercenaries 2 is a fun game. Probably plays better on consoles, but I suppose it could be played at a higher resolution on the PC.

Cool, if I win this, I'm going to blow up everything. Then, I'll gather up the ashes and blow all them up too. In game, of course.
