The Boxhead/Modern Warfare 2 Competition Winner!

Our Boxhead/Modern Warfare 2 competition has come to an end and you’re mere seconds away from finding out who the winner is.  At the beginning of last week, we asked you to play Sean Cooper’s most addictive isometric shooter, Boxhead: The Zombie Wars, and submit your scores to our leader-board. The top scorer at the end of the competition would win a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the system of their choice and a MW2-branded wallet.

Many zombie lives were lost in the making of this competition. We’ve had 200 score submissions so a big thanks to all our entrants for the blood, sweat, and tears they spilled on the killing fields. It’s now time to see  whose effort reigned supreme. There can only be one winner so hit the jump to find out who it is!

Competition Update: Boxhead High Scores

Note: This competition has ended.

We’re midway through our Boxhead/Modern Warfare 2 competition, and I thought it would be nice to update you on the standings. Crazy Monkey Games dropped me a mail with the high scores for the  “1lp_” users. The numbers are from yesterday, November 18th, around 2:00pm (SA time) – scores may have changed, but it’ll give you a rough idea of our leader-board.

Boxhead: The Zombie Wars Top 3 Scores

  1. 1lp_squirrely 1 902 210 500
  2. 1lp_Stavey 1 394 780 900
  3. 1lp_Stavey 676 342 300

One part Terminator, one part Harry Houdini, 1lp_squirrley is the bad-ass currently in top spot with staggering score of 1 902 210 500! The other contender, 1lp_Stavey, is in striking distance. Clearly these two players know which end of the gun the bullets come out of.

If you want to take home a copy of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and a MW2-branded wallet, you just need to top our leader-board, and you have until midnight (SA time) on Sunday, November 22nd to do so. If you’re new to this competition, you can find the full details HERE. Good luck!

Play Boxhead: The Zombie Wars & Win Modern Warfare 2!

Note: This competition has ended.

Competition time rolls around again here at Onelargeprawn. This time, it’s a little different. We’ve moved away from the lucky draw model to one that rewards the last man/woman standing. It’s relatively painless, in contrast, you’ll be one dishing out the pain.

We have teamed up with Sean Cooper Games, Crazy Monkey Games, and our local friends Megarom to bring you a competition where you could win a copy of Modern Warfare 2* on the console of your choice (PS3 or Xbox 360) and a MW2-branded wallet.

Sound good? Excellent. Find the full details after the jump.

Win a Copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Fayyaad over at Utter Insanity just sent me a mail that may or may not be of interest to you. I thought I’d post it anyways because it’s “be nice to work colleagues” month – a self-enforced ritual that occurs only once in three years.

Now, to celebrate yesterday’s launch of Infinity Ward’s universally acclaimed shooter, the dudes at Afrogamer (the African arm of the Eurogamer Network) are giving away a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

The competition entails a little more leg-work than the ones here on Onelargeprawn, but Modern Warefare 2 is one of the most anticipated game of 2009, so if you want to get your hands on it you’ll need to do a fair bit of reconnaissance ;-)

The full briefing can be found at Afrogamer. Tell them prawny sent you. Good luck.

Decode This!

So I got an email this morning which I was about to dismiss as spam, but it turns out to be much more mysterious. The unit over at Megarom receive an encoded message from an unknown source, and because their top crypto guy pulled a sickie, they need help in decoding the bloody thing.

--/ Transmission Begin /--

Isop ubje ttmieps, vytpasjkuc hqqucggeoe tf klug pijfwgv rerre hkek lku’ij rvepm isi gde ejxk wfss. Fv fqrv yo jizr bsle jadj aeh ocqxrpp iekoiqmhlse gdrfzgy xa oqhirs@mvlaisy.qr.dr. Ja wzql si dsymvjenx dolv rwoi raz yfz mrc ns vicrytvi ffv m gsitvwl dnsjmab rr 11.10.09 sr ouij yfy mfh vvnzy.

--/ Transmission End /--

It seems the only clue available to decode the message is this: Freedman Arrow. All attempts to decode the message (www.megarom.co.za/oaf.htm) thus far have drawn a blank. Can you decode it? If so you could stand a chance of doing something on some day at a certain place and specific time. Yes, we’re being quite vague here, but that’s how we’re rolling today ;-)

However, thanks to another unknown source who sends us messages in the clear, we do know that Vladimir Makarov is recruiting five more mercenaries for his cause, and will be putting them through their paces on 11.10.09 so we can only assume that these five soldiers will have to be located in the Johannesburg vicinity, or be able to get to Johannesburg.

That is all, get decoding soldier!
