Hola, ¿cómo estas? We’ve just taken a big swig of tequila and woken up in a strange world filled with nefarious skeletal baddies and colourfully-masked heroes. It’s okay though, we came back to the real world with five codes for today’s best PSN offering: Guacamelee!
In case you’ve not been paying attention, Guacamelee! scored 9/10 when I reviewed it. It’s a Mexican, Dia de Los Muertos, themed platform brawler with a light upgrade system and evolving pathways (that’s a fancy way of saying “Metroid-vania”).
So, you’ve got a PlayStation 3 or a PlayStation Vita (or both, it’s totally cross-play/-buy/-save), and you’re ready to pull on a luchador mask and go nuts, how do you win one of the five EU PSN codes for the game?
Just leave a comment below telling us what your Mexican wrestler name would be and we’ll pick our five favourites at around 4PM. Feel free to give us a little back story, some info on their fighting style, etc. If you’re lucky enough to win, your code will be emailed to the address you registered with TSA when you signed up.
The editor’s decision is final and our usual T&Cs apply, so no fighting with the referee. Please note that codes have to be redeemed on a PS3 – regardless of the version required.
Update: Phew, this was quite a popular one, huh? We can’t really blame you, and if you’re not one of the five winners listed below, we’d thoroughly recommend that you pick up the game anyway – especially if you’re a PlayStation Plus member!
Here’s the list of winners. If you’re listed, you can expect an email from me with your code in the next five minutes or so:
- NemesisND1derboy, who built his character’s origins brilliantly.
- hanmik, who immediately followed the entry above with a satirical take on a recent games media controversy.
- ProjectJAY, who made a smart play on words – across two languages, no less!
- quinkill, who took the time to write (or translate?) his entry entirely into Spanish!
- Takyu, who based his entry on tequila and on a style of Kung Fu – two of my favourite things.

Lucha Door.
After so many visits from door-to-door salesmen, Juan El Paso eventually snapped and took one of them out with a suplex. With a newfound love for combat, Juan took inspiration from Batman and became what he feared the most: Lucha Door, the most fearsome door-to-salesman in Mexico.
Lucha Door’s fighting style is built around his signature weapon; a door that he carries with him into the ring. His moves include the Knock Knock (slamming opponent’s head into the door twice in succession), the No Thank You, Bye (bashing the opponent repeatedly by opening and closing the door) and his finishing move, the Peep Hole…which is so graphic I simply cannot describe it here.

El cerdo del guerra (War pig)
The name says it all. Attack my enemy’s with the wrath of my belly! Smash their heads with it. Let them taste (or smell) defeat, thanks to yesterday’s tacos!
And my comrade would not be a horse or a donkey. I would ride on a pig. I don’t know anything else that’s more epic than this.

I’d be called the El-Chup-your-madre! Naturally I’d be a villain who begins each match by taunting lewd comments directed towards my rivals mom . I’d show up dressed in a hugh hefner robe, smoking a pipe and start each match by putting away my cell phone, and calling “I’ll make this quick because your mother’s anxious for me to stop in once I’m through with you!”
Thanks for the chance! Cheers!

Señor Sigilo! (Mr Stealth).
In a twist on must Mexican wrestler brutes, I’d sneak from the shadows so my opponents would never see me coming…
Like a tequila drinking Solid Snake or a Taco munching Sam Fisher…
Also, alliteration FTW!

El Labia de Fuego
or alternatively
El Gran Hombre Con Gran Barriga
Please note this is not a competition entry as I already won it on the PS Blog. I just wanted an excuse to type the first one.
