A week ago we launched a competition in which we asked you to submit your own zombie face as boxart for Dead Rising 2 to win a brilliant prize. We had loads of entries, from the typically scary to the creepy to the hilariously low-tech solutions that MS Paint offered some of you.
Here is our overall winner, Josh Bourne who gets the prize simply for being the creepiest entry. Not content with just being a zombie, Josh is a huge zombie bunny.
[EDIT] It has been brought to our attention that Josh’s image was actually the property of a photographer called John Baird. Mr. Baird had no knowledge of his image being used and has since asked that we remove it. Josh has been disqualified for violating copyright and the prize will now be awarded to our second pick, Candice. [EDIT]
So Josh wins the grand prize of the poker set and jacket but we also said we’d give some runner’s up prizes of MS points to some of our favourites so we’ll be sending the following people some points by return email in the next few days:
Candice was almost the winner simply because I’ve never seen anyone go for the “sexy zombie” look before. Anthony went the extra distance to add logos to his boxart and did a great job with his makeup. Finally, Sam might not have been the most photo-realistic entry but it made us laugh the most so we’ll call him third runner-up!
We’ll get the winner’s details off to our friends at XCN so they can send the prize and we’ll have MS Points (you might want to buy Dead Rising: Case 0 with them!) with the runners up as soon as possible.

Kingdom Hearts comp was won by a TSA regular (jonny_bolton, unless my memory is playing tricks) and I believe that the prize has been despatched already.

jesus no, there were loads of them. Why don’t you continue the game on the forums though, just for shits and giggles? Perhaps people will post their own?

I don’t even remember the competition article. That might explain how lost I was getting on the old homepage style. However, for me, Sam wins! :-) Awesome!!

There was a huge banner for three days and then a little box above your sign in info to advertise it for the rest of the week!

You mean something that might be blocked with Ad-block? Bugger. I may well let stuff through again. I just noticed that TSA pages took that much longer to load when it was loading content in from other sites. Slow buggers (them, not you).
