Buffalo GameBuffs Blog

As December coldly creeps closer, the hot shopping season begins.  Well, I’m going to try to help with a couple contests, kind of like you getting a present from the Buffalo GameBuffs blog.  This first one will be for those that not only love the physical board and card games, but those that also appreciate the video game versions.  I love playing some casual xbox 360 online arcade games and I want to share that with one of the readers here. 

The rules are simple.  See the two friends above playing, oh, lets say Robotron  on their Xbox. [As with most pictures on this blog you can click it to see it larger.] I’d love your help in coming up with some appropriate and interesting names for the two friends.  Any multiple entries from the same e-mail and IP address will be thrown out.  Any vulgar or hateful names will be deleted or blocked. The winner will be picked based on how creative, appropriate, interesting and original the names are. The deadline for entries is December 15th. Simply leave a comment in this post with two possible names for our video game friends pictured above.  

This contest is open to anyone in the United States and Canada.  Both games require an xbox 360 with a hard drive or memory unit for storage.  You also need to have a silver or gold xbox live account to download the full game, but anyone that logs on to live and sets up an account with xbox 360 will have at least a silver account.  I will provide a Game Code for each game to the winner of this contest. 

UNO is the classic party card game that’s number one for family fun! Compete against three other players to match colors and symbols, go Wild with special command cards such as Skip and Reverse, and be the first to play all your cards.

Add-on theme decks offer new art and new card effects, keeping the game fresh and challenging. So connect with friends, choose your favorite house rules, and get ready to shout “UNO!”

In 2084, man creates a species of super-advanced cyborgs known as Robotrons. Recognizing the imperfect nature of their creators, the Robotrons conclude that the inefficient human race must be exterminated.

In Robotron: 2084, only you and a single family of clones remain. If mankind is to survive, you must destroy the Grunts, Brains, Enforcers, and Tanks—but avoid the indestructible Hulks at all cost. Can you withstand wave after wave of android invasion and rescue Mommy, Daddy, and Mikey … before it’s too late?
