Hugh Sterbakov’s Epic PS2 Giveaway 2011

by Dan on December 19, 2011

That bastard.

Back when OneOfSwords was young, we didn’t have much. I wanted to do giveaways, but I didn’t have access to many games. In fact, what I could claim were mostly PS2 games, but what can you do? What I had, I shared.

Unfortunately, podcast cohost Hugh Sterbakov thought that was the worst thing he ever heard and called me out on it. He mocked me for not having better swag. He brought it up over and over again and never misses a chance to lambast me for it, even though I now regularly give away free games, cool shirts, and hard-to-find goodies. But no — 100 podcasts in, Hugh has to keep pushing that old bruise.

Okay, then.

On behalf of Hugh Sterbakov, I am proud to announce that one winner will get all FOURTEEN of these PS2 games — each one sealed and minty-fresh — in the name of Hugh Sterbakov, courtesy of Hugh Sterbakov, and by the divine right of Hugh Sterbakov. My holiday gift to him is him giving you 14 PlayStation 2 games.

Hugh wants you to have them, even if they're not alphabetized.

Surely, a collector or a gamer with a younger sibling who has inherited their PlayStation 2 collection will appreciate these sealed NTSC games in a way that Hugh Sterbakov does not. As always, the contest FAQ applies, and you get one entry per person, but get your entry in by the end of the day on Tuesday, January 3 and I’ll pick winners January 4 — and I’ll post the winner’s name right here. Good luck!

Everything old is Hugh again!

 

UPDATE 1/4: “Congratulations” to Kevin Reeb of Marysville, Ohio — he’s getting a box of PS2 games whether he likes it or not.

    I don’t know what Hugh’s problem is.  Free games are free games and almost everyone on Earth owns a PS2.  Out of those games I only own 4 of them, so awesome.

    This is the best contest ever.

    I hope I win. My daughters love Marvel and would go nuts over UA2. I had the first one and they loved it.

    This is pretty amazing. Regardless of if I win or not, I’m looking forward to buying his book.

    I still love my PS2, the best GTA games, need for speed, my old spiderman games (PS1 but still…). It’s still the best platform to have existed, in my rose tinted opinion. :)

    But all I want is Lost Cities from Sierra.  Find away to get this game re-released back on XBLA.  Pretty, pretty please?
