*Just a note: I'm sorry the Daily Visit score isn't more 'every day' instead of its current 'every 24h1m', but that is just the front end tracking for you guys and when we run the lotto we pull from a more accurate list. So for those of you visiting every day diligently but not triggering the Daily Visit score reward, don't stress about it!
- Contests are NOT limited to the US/NA.
- You have to be willing to provide a valid mailing address and/or email address as these are physical prizes. At the end of the month winners will be contacted on N4G via PM or Contest Ticket.
More Info on the Forum Lottery (what follows ONLY applies to the Forum Lottery):
What it is
-a monthly lottery contest where the winner(s) will receive various prizes.
How it works
-Using a random generator engine we choose a forum, active thread and a winner.
The finer details:
-Single post wonders, spammers, rude or offensive remarks all result in a DQ.
-The sub-forums located in the N4G related block (Announcements & Rules, contributor, etc) will not be eligible to win, nor will comments made within the Randomicity thread.
-You can only win the Forum Lottery once every six months.

As always, let me know if you have any questions!
After more than 20 hours of play, here is our big review of Stellar Blade. And it's nothing more than one of the most successful PS5 exclusives.
GamesRadar+: "Stellar Blade is more ambitious and varied than expected, but also about as clunky as expected, resulting in a stilted action RPG with a level of jank that you just have to accept. Meet it on its terms, and either tune out or embrace the odd sexual veneer, and it's a solid 20 to 30 hours of fun."
Great in all of the most important ways for an action game, but lackluster elsewhere.
7.0/10 why does IGN always rated Games Lower then Everyone else I cant wait to play it though.
I've been here since 2007, and still I haven't won...The Fix Is In!!!
c'mon hundred dollar gift card, papa needs a blu-ray drive..
Sweet =) Good luck everyone. Gonna give the blogs a shot.
Will "win a free copy of game X" return for the blog contests or is it gamefly from here on out?
Also, I forget, is there any place to read what a news ranking is? I don't remember
I thought we were doing a contest for Mod with the best Mickey Mouse voice this time? And I've been practicing so hard :(
