Giveaway / TVGB’s 2008 box of stuff
BY Matthew Razak Jan. 5th, 2009 More on:

2008 was a big year for TVGB. It was our first total year in existence and we fooled enough game companies into thinking we were important enough to invite us to events and send us really cool stuff. Of course a lot of that stuff we’ve given away to you, the reader, but we’ve also got a box sitting in the TVGB office (it’s a metaphorical office, but a real box) full of videogame related stuff. The above image shows just a few of the great things in the box like a Skate 2 skateboard deck, a Mr. Resetti plush and plenty of Dead Space goodies. There’s also Need for Speed Undercover and Quantum of Solace, plus some other extra goodies we want to surprise the winner with.

So, how to win this entire box of awesome goodies? In the comments below, Just tell us all about what you’re looking forward to in 2009 when it comes to videogames, and you’ll get all our stuff from 2008. Looking forward and gaining from the past is what we’re all about here, and what we wish the gaming world was all about too. And remember, if there is anything more awesome than having more stuff it’s having that stuff come in a big box to your doorstep.

      Ooooooh what a bunch of nifty stuff!!

      What I’m most looking forward to, video game wise, in 2009 is the plethora of games coming out that I MUST play. Let me go ahead and name a couple for you. *ahem* I’m looking forward to the serious games like Batman: Arkham Asylum and God of War 3 to fun cute games like Loco Roco 2 and Patapon 2. The confirmed games like Guitar Hero: Metallica Edition and the rumored games like SingStar: Queens Edition. I want to play the remakes of games such as Splatterhouse and brand spanking new games like The Conduit. I want to play games not many have heard of like Sadness and the big popular games everyone is looking forward to like Halo: ODST.

      I want to see how far developers push the envelope. I want to continue to be amazed by stunning graphics and blown away by beautiful scores. I want to see what crazy tricks these people have up their sleeves and where they will take our favorite form of entertainment. I want to marvel at the insanely impressive graphics of Resident Evil 5 and admire the beautifully bright visuals of Muramasa: The Demon Blade.

      I just want to continue playing the hell out of great titles, owning people over Xbox Live, toting my Nintendo DS & Sony PSP everywhere I go and just enjoying what I love.

      I’m really looking forward to the non-beta release of Home. The one that doesn’t suck in so many ways.

      Also, an absolute ton of games for the DS that end in “-iez” and Wii games that are from cartoons or movie properties.

      The majority of my year will be digging out from under the pile of games that I bought/want to buy from last year. Many of the games I’m referring to are in some ways affliated with the pile of swag you’ve got. It would be awesome to have.

      I’m most looking forward to about three exclusives for my PS3. They are, in no specific order: Killzone 2, White Knight Chronicles, and The Agency. As far as the first one goes I had the pleasure of beta testing Killzone 2 and I have to say that it looked and played just as if not more beautifully than the videos that have been shown over the past couple of years. As for White Knight I am just pleased that we can finally get what seems to be a great RPG for the first time this generation of consoles. And as for the Agency, it is such an ambitious project that aims to immerse gamers into its world more than any game has ever been done before and thus could be the first MMO since wow to have a Gigantic following.

      Hmm… Let’s see what I am looking forward too in 2009.

      - The PS3 getting more Firmware Updates and getting better.
      - Possibly getting an XBOX 260 that won’t RRoD (Jasper Unit)
      - Dead Rising coming to the PS3
      - Home starting to become what Sony Advertised
      - Hopefully games like Heavy Rain & LA Noire come out

      and plenty more but that is all I can think of at this time.

      Ohh wait one more I can think of…

      - Coming here and winning more prizes from you guys at TVGB LOL ;-)

      Thanks Again

      You know… besides Prototype, XMen Origins, Terminator Salvation,Watchmen and the “Never-Ending Playlist” on RockBand 2… the one thing I’m truly, honestly, wholly and 100% looking foreward to more than anything else is being with My friend when he picks up his pre-order of Street Fighter 4. Then ALSO being with him 2 months later when he trades it in. Why, you ask? Well that’s a very good question, and I’m glad you asked. You see, there is a special degree of “I told you so” that is so great; so massive; so grotesquely unspeakable that I believe God was going to add an 11th commandment specifically concerning that it is NEVER to be used, but his pen ran out ink…

      That “I told you so” will be not only spoken to said friend, but will pretty much be thrown in his face.

      I’m looking forward to Rhythm Heaven’s US release to see what they changed and pretty much every goddamn game from Capcom (RE5, SF4, Bionic Commando, Dead Rising 2(I wish) )

      Hopefully 2009’s a good year for gaming, it’s going to be hard to top 2008

      My most anticipated games for 2009 are Fat Princess, Brutal Legend, and (hopefully) the next Professor Layton game. Other games I will likely get and enjoy are skate 2, Halo: ODST, and Resident Evil 5

      I just got a Playstation 3, so I have a big year of catching up to do. First, I’m gonna get Call of Duty 4. After that, I’m going to play BioShock. I can’t believe I still haven’t played it yet! I’m then going to probably spend the rest of the year collecting trophies.

      First off the few things Im looking for this year the most all come out this month. The Knothole Island DLC for Fable 2 was a blast and Im going to love going back around with my dog and finding all the dig spots and items. Fallout 3 for me is the best game I’ve ever played period hands down, no game has ever had me as involved as this game did and still does so for Operation Anchorage to be coming out on the 27th is fantastic for me and even more fantastic is that it is the first of 3 packs available. Last but certainly not least is skate 2, one of my favorite games of all times get a revamped 60fps scheme and new moves with the same controls of the perfect first game. Who could go wrong in Jan this year.
