March 2003

Courtesy of Entertain Limited we have three copies of No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way to give away.

The game won the International Press Academy's 2003 Golden Satellite Award in New Media for Outstanding Execution of a Gaming Concept - Game of the Year. The title has also been chosen as GameSpy's PC Overall Game of the Year and as the 2002 IGN Action Vault Single-Player Game of the Year.

It is a great single-player game with an involving story and, true to our team-oriented approach, a nice cooperative mode for up to four players, just like in the original Doom.

Cybernetic’s has three copies to give away through my involvement with the Entertain Limited which distributes the underlying technology of the game.

To enter just e-mail paul@cybernetic.co.uk with the name of the heroine of the game (hint, it's on the main NOLF2 web site) and we’ll put your name in and draw three winners.

Christmas competition!  Answer a skill testing question and win a limited-edition Quake III Arena metal-box set.

The question:  What does BFG stand for in Doom?  
The answer:    While "Big Fraggin' Gun" is pc, we prefer "Big Fucking Gun", in line with the cheat IDKFA (which surely was not "Killer Friggin Arsenal") and with what John Romero states is the case.  In the Christmas spirit, we accepted both answers for the draw. 

The three winners, who got it right and were the first three names drawn out of the hat, are:
1. Adam Cohen
2. Claire Bosworth
3. Chris Taylor
