Does someone in your family love to play video games? Some families play video games together. You can find video games that are appropriate for every age group, and that are family friendly. No matter how much you love your current video games, you are likely to find new ones that sound super exciting to play. This can, potentially, end up becoming expensive. Unless, of course, you win the sweepstakes by GameStop, and get free games for an entire year.
There are several people in my family who like video games. I have fond memories of playing games like Pac Man and the Mario Brothers games with my younger brother, and my father. I grew up visiting arcades filled with loud, colorful video games with very little in the way of graphics, compared to what video games look like today. I can remember when people would actually set up a row of quarters on top of the arcade game, to designate who would play next, as soon as the current player lost all his lives.
Most of my video game playing now involves World of Warcraft, but I also play the addictive little games on Facebook, and even play an Xbox game every once in a while. When I have time, and am looking for a new video game to play, I tend to go to GameStop. There just so happens to be one not to far away from where I live.
GameStop has a very fun sweepstakes going on right now, until March 7, 2011. The winner will get free games for a year from GameStop. It is very easy to enter. First, go to the GameStop website, where the sweepstakes is described. Next, you get to play a video game!
The game is called “Buck Wild”, and it stars a round, white, cartoon bunny named Buck. To play, you click your mouse one time, to launch the bunny into the air. As he comes back down, you need to make sure that you direct him to land on one of the many floating platforms that appear in the game. If you hit a carrot, it launches the bunny even higher into the air than a regular platform will. There are coins to collect, and spikes to avoid. If, at any time, you miss a platform, the bunny will fall to the ground, and make a sarcastic, somewhat impolite, comment. The game has really fun sound effects that correspond to the bouncing movement, and I must admit, I was giggling the entire time I was playing the game.
After the game ends, you can enter the sweepstakes, and “show off your high score”. It asks for your birthdate, full name, email address, screen name, and phone number. You can opt in or out of receiving news from GameStop and KOREGATE, the company that made the “Buck Wild” game, in your email. You can only enter the sweepstakes one time, but you can play the game as many times as you like, no quarters required.
