Virtually Free: Life as a King

by Alisha Karabinus { Jun 11th 2008 at 10:15AM }

We've got something special for you in this week's Virtually Free giveaway: the chance to live as a king! Manage your peasants, live in a castle, and jaunt around in puffy shorts, all on our dime. Of course, it's virtual, but hey -- we never promised the moon. Or a kingdom. But we are promising Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King ($15) to one lucky reader!

So what do you have to do to win? First of all, you have to leave a comment (with a valid e-mail address) on this post telling us what WiiWare games (current and announced) excite you most. Second, you must be a legal resident of the United States with an American Wii (sorry, Canadians, we have to leave you out of this one; blame the gifting system and not us!) and 18 years of age or older. You may enter once per calendar day between now and Monday, June 16; the contest comes to a close that night at 11:59 PM Eastern time, and we'll select a winner in a random drawing the next day. Questions? Check out the official rules.

Meh, don't care much about that game.

Kevin @ Jun 11th 2008 10:26PM

Pick me!

WillM @ Jun 11th 2008 10:22AM

Strongbad!!

mcdermr @ Jun 11th 2008 10:23AM

Dr. Mario Online Rx is wicked fun!!!

kevin @ Jun 11th 2008 10:26AM

I'm hooked on Dr. Mario right now. It's a great update.

Ray Ray @ Jun 11th 2008 10:25AM

Looking forward to Strongbad when it comes out!!

Knema007 @ Jun 11th 2008 10:26AM

World of Goo, without a doubt.

JrJard @ Jun 11th 2008 10:26AM

Looks fun, even though the GC game was pretty tedious.

Timdogg @ Jun 11th 2008 10:26AM

I am looking forward to tetris

TheCoats @ Jun 11th 2008 10:27AM

strongbad makes me feel all nostalgic. Reminds me of early high school! Good Times with my SP and a copy of tactics.

Papytendo @ Jun 11th 2008 10:29AM

CSuchanek @ Jun 11th 2008 1:08PM

This was one of the titles I was considering.

I @ Jun 11th 2008 10:33AM

World of Goo looks pretty fun to me. http://2dboy.com/games.php

I love puzzle games, and this is a type I have never played before.

For anyone like me who has recently purchased a Wii and doesn't necessarily know what games to choose from go here...

I really like Star Soldier R. I'm looking forward to the Strongbad game.

shawn @ Jun 11th 2008 10:34AM

dr mario

DevP @ Jun 11th 2008 10:36AM

Lostwinds. It's just such a well designed game, with great polish. It's exactly what I was hoping WiiWare would be like.

White Rose Duelist @ Jun 11th 2008 10:35AM

I'm surprised how much I like My Pokémon Ranch.

tarajo @ Jun 11th 2008 10:39AM

World of Goo looks interesting.... and butterfly garden will drive my husband insane :)

mrc @ Jun 11th 2008 10:39AM

Dr Mario!

Francis @ Jun 11th 2008 10:39AM

World of Goo!
Lost Winds 2!

SirSloppyMoose @ Jun 11th 2008 10:39AM

Haven't bought any yet, but Dr. Mario and Lost Winds look like the best of the bunch. On the fence about FF, which is why it'd be nice to get it for free :)

Brandisis @ Jun 11th 2008 10:43AM

Defend Your Castle.

feba @ Jun 11th 2008 11:06AM

Well, Lost Winds excites me most. I don't have it; but it excites me to see just how high quality WiiWare games ALREADY are. To think about Nintendo expanding memory (through a hard drive, and/or a new Wii model) and allowing the games to be made even bigger, and developers becoming even MORE familiar with it can only improve the situation makes me happy.

So far, none of the games I've seen for WiiWare have me excited in a "Must buy it" way, they have me excited in a "Wow, this can only get better" way. I'm hoping that Kenta Cho (ABA Games; you should know of TUMIKI Fighters, the inspiration for Blast Works) makes something for Wiiware like he did for XNA.

cwk5014 @ Jun 11th 2008 10:44AM

I don't really need extra room in Pearl, but My Pokemon Ranch looks interesting, if only for the Mew and other Pokemon you can pick up from it. Nevermind that you'd have to send 999 Pokemon to the game to *get* the Mew...

Alex @ Jun 11th 2008 10:44AM

Strong Bad and Lost Winds!

gar3 @ Jun 11th 2008 10:45AM

LostWinds has been one of the best videogame experiences I have ever had.

Jerrios @ Jun 11th 2008 10:46AM

I'd have to say Strongbad, so far.

nevsky42 @ Jun 11th 2008 10:47AM

Looking forward to Gyrostarr...

potato @ Jun 11th 2008 10:48AM

FINAL FANTASY CC: MLAK!!!!

Jeremy @ Jun 11th 2008 10:48AM

World of Goo, Bomberman, and Tetris! I love me some Tetris!

Lnuxguy @ Jun 11th 2008 10:53AM

Conduit! After playing Metroid Prime 3 and seeing how well a FPS can be done on the Wii, I want to see CONDUIT!!!

TrueNRPeace @ Jun 11th 2008 10:52AM

I'm looking forward to the WiiWare version of Bomberman!

Mr_oHH @ Jun 11th 2008 10:53AM

i like me tetris!

Quixar @ Jun 11th 2008 10:17PM

Strong Bad games for sure!

Chris @ Jun 11th 2008 10:54AM

Strongbad's Cool Game For Attractive People is definitely the one I'm most excited about. What can be better than five episodes spanning 3-4 hours a piece? that's like fifteen hours of Strongbad!

fleethefactory @ Jun 11th 2008 10:55AM

Yeah World of Goo looks pretty fantastic.

Casey @ Jun 11th 2008 11:08AM

Strongbad!

Nick @ Jun 11th 2008 10:57AM

World of Goo , Lost Winds 2

Kenneth @ Jun 11th 2008 11:00AM
