Co-Optimus Presents our 1000 Co-Op Games Contest

Contest
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

I remember when we created Co-Optimus back in January of 2008 we launched with a database of around 250 co-op games.  We were quite proud of that achievement but nothing could prepare us for the onslaught of co-op games in the coming years.  Now two and a half years later we're proud to have well over 1000 co-op games in our database back filled with many classics as well as the latest up and coming co-op titles.  To celebrate this milestone  we're kicking off a monster contest with some truly great prizes including games, swag, and a New Xbox 360 Slim!

We're going to offer a few ways to win prizes over the course of this contest.  Each method below counts as one entry into the contest (for a max of 3 entries) and winners will be randomly drawn on Friday, July 30th.  

 

  • Using the user blog tools (free Co-Optimus account required) write a blog entry about your favorite co-op game of all time.
  • Become a fan, aka Like, our page on Facebook
  • Using Twitter, tweet the following message - "I just entered to win an Xbox 360 Slim & other great prizes in the @cooptimus 1000 Co-Op Games contest! http://bit.ly/8Xw0Ax #1000CoOp"

So all of that is well and good, but what prizes are up for grabs?

PRIZES

  • 1 Copy of Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker (PSP)
  • 1 Copy of Red Dead Redemption (PS3)
  • 1 Copy of Call of Duty: World at War (PC)
  • 1 Copy of Crackdown 2
  • 1 Copy of Dawn of War 2 (PC) Signed by the dev team with 2 Dawn of War 2 T-shirts
  • 1 Pair of Gamecom 777 7.1 
  • 1 Lost Planet 2 Prize Pack (Water bottle, t-shirt, LEGO Set)
  • 1 FEAR 3 SIGG Water Bottle
  • 1 Set Limited Edition Co-Optimus Astro A30 Speaker Tags
  • T-Shirt of Choice from the Co-Optimus T-Shirt Store
  • Grand Prize - Xbox 360 Slim with Crackdown 2


Just some of the prizes available!

 

Please see the Official Co-Optimus Contest rules (found here) for eligibility and requirements.

Good luck and thanks for visiting Co-Optimus!

We'll take care of our international folks soon enough, but due to the size of the contest I needed to keep a few things in scope this time. Sorry!

I don't see a place in my Cooptimus profile for Facebook name, so how will you know if I've "liked" the page? Also, I hope "Like" is the new "Become a Fan". I don't use Facebook much.

yes, if you are already a fan that counts.

And yes, "like" is the new "become a fan." You can link your Co-Optimus profile by going to the registration page, but it's not a requirement for that entry to count. http://www.co-optimus.com/register.php

Wow, a 1000-game database is amazing! Congrats to Co-Optimus, but also congrats to all co-op gamers who get to reap the benefits of a larger game library!

Also have to give thanks to the site for such a sweet contest. As always, my fingers are crossed for that 360!

There are a lot of very good well thought out blog posts now, but an unfortunate side effect is that many of these blog posts are going to be unnoticed because of the blog post flood.

I would encourage you all to take a few minutes to read through a few of them instead of just skipping over them.

Maybe I should add a "rate" option to the blog posts.

It's a shame I don't have a facebook or twitter account; guess I'm a little behind the times. Looks like I'll be writing my first blog ever.

Aw, man. I am TOO excited about this contest. But a bit worried. Just noticed the nice, well typed and thoroughly thought out favorite co-op game blogs out there. Then you have the massive army of followers on Facebook. 886 to be exact as of 151 AM. And to top it all, you have a whopping 1,481 followers on Twitter. Unknown how many have entered the tag to their name. So you have roughly 3,000 entries (singular), and if they have all three roughly 9,000 entries worst case scenario. Thank god for the generosity of 11 prizes. I personally don't have a PSP or PS3, but I definately wouldn't turn it down. Who knows, I may even donate it to a deserving runner up. Long as you pay shipping and handling, I'm a bit broke at the moment.

Anyways, Congrats to bapenguin, pheriannath, spigot, bogie 19th, djinniman, shadokatregn, tsxhurricane, samoza, and any others I failed to mention on the wonderful job on creating Co-Optimus. Because honestly, I have always read IGN.com for news on games but they never had any news on co-op. It's only about multiplayer. Thanks to Co-Optimus, if I have some friends come over, I can search the lists and find a game that everyone will enjoy. I got friends coming Aug. 7th to be exact. Gonna co-op some Halo 2.

Thanks again and congratulations to the winners!
