TSA Advent Calendar: Day 24 [7]
TSA Advent Day 23: The Console Nativity Part II [22]
TSA Advent Calendar: Day 20 [12]
It’s Christmas soon apparently and this is the season for giving, isn’t it? With that in mind we have another competition for you lovely TSA members and this time you will need to get your analyst hat on.
Paddy Power bookies have started to pay out to all of those who have betted on Modern Warfare 2 stealing the festive top spot because they believe it to be a no-brainer. So, what I want to see is how good you are at predicting what games will take what position.
The Competition:
Rather than asking you to predict the entire top 10 I’m asking you to predict what games will be taking 1st, 5th and 10th place…mainly because I’m lazy and the prospect of reading loads of different chart entries wouldn’t put me in a festive mood. Okay, so to recap: Correctly guess which games will take 1st, 5th and 10th position on the chart that will published 21st December – as this will be the week of the Christmas number 1. You can guess either PS3 Full Price Chart or Xbox 360 Full Price Chart or both. Predicting both will not get you anything extra it will just increase your chances and make you a smart-arse.
The Rules:
Closing date is 9pm Tuesday 15th December and the winners will be revealed after the following week’s chart has been published. E-mail your entries to moi at lewis[at]thesixthaxis[dot]com.
- Only one entry per person
- MUST be a TSA member
- Please make the subject line – TSA Chart Comp
- Please include your TSA username
- If you do not do the above, it may lead to your entry getting lost and we don’t want anyone getting upset…especially at Christmas.
The Prizes:
3 Correct answers (if there are 3) will be chosen completely at random. The 1st prize will be a copy of SEGA Mega Drive Collection* and 250 TSA Points with 2 subsequent winners receiving 250 TSA Points each. If there are no fully correct answers then it will be decided between those with 2 out of 3, etc.
So there you have it, what are you waiting for? As usual, all TSA’s terms and conditions apply.
*From my personal collection because I’ve never played it and I’d rather give it away in this fashion than be offered £1.50 trade-in by some adolescent rip-off merchant!

Noice idea. Doubt I’ll be able to win, but I’ll give it a try.
Sega Megadrive Collection was the first game I got a platinum trophy on, but I traded it in when I heard the trophy ‘ping’ and now I miss it.

I’ve wanted this for the Sonic games, how easy is it to get the trophies on the other games on the system? Any real annoying ones?

Nah all the trophies are very, very doable. They are a bit unbalanced though, as you get a gold for using magic 10 times or something in Golden Axe III (or whatever) which we all know is an easy gold, very easy. However then they task you with completing Doctor Eggmans mean Bean Machine for a different gold trophy (which we all know is hard). If you use a cheat code though Eggman’s Bean machine is easy to complete with a bit of luck on the final level (which the cheat code allows you to skip straight to).
In conclusion: not stupidly easy, but a very doable platinum accompanying a very unbalanced but fun trophy list.

I would buy Hannah Montana sings Iron Maiden. True story. Surely you could’ve picked 2, 5 and 10 though, because number 1 will be, well. Obvious?

Wow, this is going to be hard.
I’ll have a think about it over the next couple of hours and post my entry later.
I’d be a fool not to put MW2 in the #1 spot though.
It’s harder being the 5th and 10th games! Would have been much easier to be 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Hannah Montana sings Iron Maiden…now that I’d like to see!! On second thoughts, I don’t think I would actually!!
Good competition. I’ll have to get my thinking cap on for 5th and 10th places!!

Why do you guys put [at] and [dot] instead of the actualy things for your email addresses?

I think its to stop the email addresses getting picked up automatically and added to spamming lists.
