This contest isn't new, but I thought with the pool of gamers here we could get all of the codes and give ourselves an advantage over everyone else.



Here's how it works... 3 ToS GC's will be given away. You get one entry for signing-up and another entry for letting them spam you, but you can get more entries for finding codes from ads in the following mags. How many codes can we get?

i think i saw one in a recent NewType USA, though i dunno, i just buy it to skim through it, and put it on the shelf =/

EDIT: here it is, from July issue: NTVP

i don't live in the US so thus not eligible, but good luck to all you guys who are gonna enter.

It does NOT work

Thanks...

it has to be NT*P, because it popped up as I was trying for codes for New Type

* = a-z, probably only a couple letters before W

edit: thanks Mejilan

Through trial and error, and Jedimike's logic, I've determined that the Sept NP code is NTSP so enjoy!

I'd like to add that the game fucking rocks, too!

I didn't do the hard work Jedi, you did. You deserve the thanks. :)

JJ, you sound surprised. :)

The codes aren't too terribly complicated... XXYX

Where the x's are an acronym for the magazine and Y is A-Z

For those that are trying codes, EGM, Game Informer, and GMR aren't following the same pattern as they were in the first batch.

I already tried EG*M, GM*I, and GM*R

just got DC Comics DCBC

I just read the rules for the sweepstakes and it says that the codes are "alphanumeric." You've tried A-Z, but what about 0-9?

I haven't tried numbers. Since they haven't used any numbers yet, it's probably not likely they started... but you never know.
