1. Tristan:

Great show this week! Hoping to win that sweet copter! lol

2. Travis:

I really like Crackdown 2 multiplayer. Very fun playing with 3 other people and screwing around blowing up stuff with helicopters. However, there needs to be a boot option. I want random people to join my game, but I don't want to be excessively betrayed. Also single player story is horrible, but that isn't why I purchased the game. Thanks for the giveaway.

3. Geoff:

1st time hearing your show, i like that is short and straight to the point, great job. Loving Crackdown 2 so far, but it still need some polish on some gameplay mechanics.
p.d. please pick me ;) Thanks!.

4. Chef Jesus:

Definitely agree with how bull ending 1 vs 100 is. It was such a great concept, and it seems every explanation online focuses on the live shows, and not even considering the many non-live games. Plus of course, its bull they added achievements in the 2nd season, and now those who care about completion are SOL.

[Also, Contest Entry!]

5. armando:

6. jacob:

Cool contest and pod cast hope i win.

7. Dazed28:

Amazing show, quick fast and to the point!
Hope I win that sweet agency helicopter. Thanks!

8. NODAK:

I've only played the demo, but I really enjoyed Crackdown 2. I plan on picking it up eventually. I know there have been complaints about the supposed lack of innovation, but I never played the first game, so even if true that doesn't bother me. I don't have any issues with lack of innovation. Btw, count me in for that Agency heli. :-) I agree that it was very disappointing to the demise of 1 vs. 100. I also agree that it seemed tailored to the very same market that MS is targeting with the Kinect. On a happier note, I was glad to hear that once again cooler heads prevailed in regards to Silver Lining.


9. Skrams:

Pretty cool podcast actually. Its not exactly for me since I love me some 2 hour podcasts but of course i'm not much of a busygamer. I also dislike them taking away 1 v 100. I never got to play it but wanted to try it out but already they're pulling the plug.

10. Travis:

Thanks for the code. I liked the podcast and plan to listen to more in the future.
