Horde Mode – I think I am addicted

By Gavin Mannion
December 1, 2008
in :  Gaming
11

I made no secret of my misgivings about Gears of War 2 and how I felt let down by the dodgy matchmaking and bad story. However I also remember saying that Horde mode was very good. Well I would like to take that back and say that Horde mode is possibly the best thing since beer on tap. Which is …

Competition: Win a Limited Call of Duty 5 Zippo

zippocomp.jpg I literally cannot explain exactly how jealous I am that I cannot enter this competition. Reason being that one of our readers is going to get to take home a limited Call of Duty: World at War Zippo, courtesy of Megarom. Because the prize is so insanely cool, we have decided to make the competition a little interesting. For this competition we have devised an interesting, albeit unlikely scenario involving yourself, a zippo and a really angry Nazi. The full competition question can be found after the jump. Not entering will be considered an absolute crime. Don't miss out on the opportunity.... We have a rather interesting scenario worked out and you need to tell us how you are going to get out of it. The best and most creative answer will be chosen as the winner, so be sure to get those creative juices flowing. Here is the scenario: You are a soldier in World War 2, you are stuck inside a destroyed house that has only one exit. Problem is, you have just run out of ammo and a crazed Nazi is about to bash through the door and introduce you to the business end of his rifle. The only thing that you have left in your possession is your trusty Zippo lighter. How will you utilise your Zippo to survive this fatal predicament ?... Your answers can be smart, funny or even strangely detailed.... Mail your entry to comps@lazygamer.co.za by 5pm on Friday 21st with the subject COD Zippo and you could be the lucky winner of this incredibly cool Zippo.
