Win a PlayStation 3 and Casino Royale on Blu-Ray by playing Bond: Top Agent

Are you an impoverished mammal still lacking a PlayStation 3?  Want an uber high-def copy of Casino Royale? Do you enjoy punching and shooting guys in the face five times in a row to see if the chain reaction of pain was greater than the last time you did it?  If your answers to all of these ridiculous questions were drooling nods of acknowledgment, have I got a contest and game for you! 

How to win it (and crush everyone's dreams)

Bond: Top Agent is a mobile game where you can issue five attack moves before a fight sequence to try to disable the bad guy as he counter attacks.  You can play it right now on this Java Emulator from your web browser for free (link updated!) for the purposes of this contest.  No purchase necessary, yadda yadda. We're limiting the contest entries to the emulator, actually, because I'm lazy and there is a high probability that you are as well. But I digress...

The first enemy in the game is a total pushover, allowing you to cripple him with a combo. I'm looking for the best possible combo to take him down -- all you have to do is figure it out and email me the five moves you issued to take him down.  Send a text description (5 moves) and/or screenshot of your best combo to 007@destructoid.com by June 1st to win the PS3 console and Casino Royale.  Sony is going to pass us a cheat sheet to check your answers against to make sure we're able to choose the winner correctly.

Eligibility and annoyance frequency 

US and Canadian residents only (sorry!). You can enter the contest once a day.  That's five moves a day, not one email with 500 combos in it. Don't make me roll under a barrel, slap you with a spatula, shoot you in the face, curbstomp your grandmother and shove a sea urchin under your eyelid. Be cool. The last day to send your entries in is June 1st at 11:59 PM EST.  That gives us seven days to go through all the entries: The winner of the contest will be announced on Destructoid on June 7th, so you have about 30 chances to win if you enter daily.

Tiebreakers by comments

Since email timestamps are unreliable and subject to debate, we're doing timebreakers in the form of comments. In the event that there are two equal top combos submitted, we will pick the winner that posted a random comment below first. So sound off once! Say anything!  Quote Bond if you know a good one.

For more info on the mobile game, check out the official web site.

Good luck, everyone! Pussy Galore!

I don't quite understand the timebreaker system. Doesn't that give the people who made the first posts a guaranteed win if they come up with the answer at all?

DinnertimeNinja's Avatar
I'm still not understanding this timestamp thing...

The contest is obviously not based on time AT ALL or you couldn't have near 30 entries.

As I understand it, it seems that all of the people that find the best combo will be dropped in a hat (for the number of days they send the entry in) and a name will be drawn.

I don't understand how this could be done otherwise. Please explain.

good lucks all. (and me.)
mix's Avatar
after playing the flash game and finding out that there seems to be really no pattern in the enemies attacks (6 battles all different), I give up.
Niero's Avatar
DinnertimeNinja - The reason to enter multiple times is to put in your best possible combo daily if you're unsure you can do better or have the right answer -- you can get a shot in for the day.

To be clear: there's no draw from a hat; it's first best. In the event that nobody figures out the ideal combo, we then have to look at next best too. If we get two emails at the exact same time with the exact same solution we need some sort of method to pick. I get roughly 1300 emails a day: this happens :(

"only" 30 tries sounds like alot 2 me
Ianki's Avatar
Is this a combo that always works, because i had one that obliterated him in three moves the first time, and got me killed the second time. How can one combo always be effective if he keeps changing his game plan on me.

Niero's Avatar
@lanki - there's one best possible outcome; not sure if you can get it on every turn against the first player though. I will check with the sponsor on that
MechaMonkey's Avatar
So submitting the same combo twice will not increase our chances of winning, even if it's the correct one? I'm a little confused by the wording of the whole thing.
Wedge's Avatar
Yeah the moves seem % based or something, so I'm not sure how there is a "perfect" outcome. We'll see though I guess.

Um, the game says I have a 5 minute limit before the trial expires. What. The. Heck. I can't handle pressure like that, especially when I barely know what I'm doing.

Also, random comment.
Gynecologist Cobra's Avatar
Fuuuuck.

Its random. If I put in the same combination twice, there are two different outcomes. I feel like just putting it on my phone and playing it tomorrow.
Sharpless's Avatar
Also, do we have to beat the guy totally? If we win without killing him, is that ok?

@Cobra
It doesn't seem random to me. The same thing happens with the same combo every time.

I don't get it? most of my moves all end up with misses.. also, what exactly do we submit? there is no final score type thing? ANNND as others have said already.. it seems to be random.. I just did two diff run throughs picking just the first punch power and i won the first time and lost the second (because the computer did different moves) ... ::confused::
