Hey everyone, the Make-a-Metroid contest ended on the 1st and I just posted up the results today. We had some particularly badass entries! Be sure to check out all of the entries in detail at
the contest page.
FIRST PLACE:
SECOND PLACE:
THIRD PLACE:
As an aside:
I tried my hardest to get the word out for this contest... but feel like I failed. I emailed many of the major game news publication websites -- Kotaku, Joystiq, GoNintendo, even Destructoid and many others, (twice, even!) but NONE OF THEM ever published or posted a single thing about it. I really don't understand why, (although the guy at GoNintendo said he had to "get the OK from his advertisers" before he could post about it, so I really don't know if that was just an excuse or not.) and no one even emailed me back why they didn't/couldn't. They just ignored it.
I mean, if someone could possibly clear up the reason why game news publications have no problems posting up other bullshit articles that just might have the
slightest inkling of somehow being game-related, but not willing to post about our contest, I'd appreciate it.
Most media outlets seem to not front page any contest they aren't sponsoring or involved in; I've been lead to understand there's usually money involved.
Anyway, I'll see if we can get this frontpaged ASAP.
