Toronto Thumbs

Comment Contest
Win Kung-Fu Panda / Lego Indiana Jones

Toronto Thumbs simply couldn’t continue to exist and grow without its readers. As we work to expand our coverage of the gaming industry, our direction should be guided by and reflect your questions, concerns, and feedback. And though ice picks might do a better job, we feel the best way to break the ice is by giving away a game.

The Toronto Thumbs Comment Contest is your chance to win a copy of the Kung-Fu Panda / Lego Indiana Jones double game pack that was a pack-in for Xbox 360 systems this holiday season. All you need to do to enter is leave a comment on any article on the site (or in the Game Bar) between Monday January 5, 2009 and midnight ET on Friday January 9, 2009.

This contest is open to residents of Canada and the United States. Commenting is the only way to enter. Whether you want to tell us that you agree or disagree with any article is entirely up to you. The winning comment will be chosen based on a spirit of creating dialogue and representing the depth of our readership. First-time commentors please provide your real email address so we can contact you if you win. Good luck!

Valkyria Chronicles CONTEST
Win the On the Gallian Front Art Book

Valkyria Chronicles is arguably the best PS3 game of 2008 that you have yet to play. It’s a masterpiece that evokes memories of Sega’s past classics and shows that the company still has what it takes to remain relevant in today’s gaming world. We sincerely hope to see more of this kind of attention to detail from Sega in the future.

In the meantime, however, we have some excellent Valkyria Chronicles prizes to give away, courtesy of Sega of America. They’ve graciously given us a stack of Valkyria Chronicles art books entitled On the Gallian Front – Field Reports from the Second Europan War. These were pre-order bonuses for the game, and they’re now quite sought-after on the aftermarket.

To enter to win one of these awesome art books, simply send an email to torontothumbs@gmail.com with “Valkyria” as the subject. This contest will run from January 1, 2009 to midnight ET on February 1, 2009 and is open to residents of Canada and the United States. Three winners will be drawn at random on February 1 and will then be contacted to provide additional information so that prizing may be fulfilled. Good luck!

FALLOUT 3 CONTEST
Win A Promotional Vault Dweller’s Survival Guide

In celebration of our love for Fallout 3, Toronto Thumbs is giving away the Vault Dweller’s Survival Guide, Pocket Reference Edition pictured above.

The guide is one of the coolest game promotional pieces to grace our office and is cleverly written as if it was an actual guide for living in the Fallout universe. The only mention of the game is on the back cover. Everything else is very tongue-in-cheek and matter-of-fact.
