AICN Games: Army Of Two Team-up Contest!! Bad Boys 2 DVDs Up For Grabs!! And More!!

Published at:  Jun 04, 2007 3:29:19 PM CDT



Greetings humans, Monki here with another kick-ass contest over here on the Games side of things.



EA is currently running a weapon design contest for their upcoming title Army of Two.





From their release:





This month, EA launched an ARMY OF TWO weapon design contest via the game website www.armyoftwo.com. From now until June 15, gamers can submit designs of their ultimate weapon to be included as a special unlockable pre-order item in the Xbox 360 version of the game.

To enter the contest, gamers will need to submit an image of their weapon and a brief description. Please go to www.armyoftwo.com to see the official rules. Gamers can also access new gameplay screens on the site as well as see examples of customized weapons in the game. Once gamers submit their designs, the images will be posted on the site for the community to vote on. Come June 16, the top weapons will be reviewed by the development team who will then pick two lucky designs to be created and included in the game.



In addition to the EA-run contest you lucky lucky bastards here at AICN are privy to a super-sweet contest in conjunction with theirs.



I've got my furry paws on three prizes packs worth their weight in golden memories. First, two games for the PS2:




Battlefield 2: Modern Combat




Medal of Honor: Frontline



And then two amazingly kickass DVDs:




Tango and Cash




Bad Boys 2




That's right...BAD (MOTHERFUCKIN') BOYS 2! The best action-buddy-movie starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence out there that includes a scene of a Hummer driving through a house.



So, you may be asking yourself "What kind of lengths must I go through to acquire these amazingly awesome titles??" Well, I had to do some soul-searching. My first idea for a contest was the "Buy Monki the Legendary Edition of Halo 3" contest. In case you are curious as to what that would have entailed...well then you are an idiot.



After talking with our legal department I had to shut that idea down....frowny face...



So here's the deal. With the theme of the game and the movies being the pairing of two badasses...(or old school rappers and guys who used to say "DAAMMMMNN GINA!)...I want you guys to create the ULTIMATE PAIRING OF PEOPLE THAT SHOULDN'T BE PAIRED!



Send me a movie-poster pairing up two people that shouldn't be within miles of each other.



George W. Bush and Kim Jong Il in LONELY BUSH! Tom Hanks and Pauly Shore in BIO-DOME 2!!



You get the idea, right? I've got three prize packs to give away to three of the luckiest AICN readers out there, so start Photoshoppin' away. You've got until June 15th to submit your entries to aicn.monki@gmail.com.



You can submit as many entries as you want, but you can only win once. The entries must be original as well!



If you have any questions, feel free to drop me an e-mail and I'll get back to you when I'm done playing Guitar Hero 2. A special thanks goes out to EA and the Army of Two team and my pal Billy the Kidd who convinced me to not force people to buy Halo 3 for me and do a real contest...I guess. Until next time, back up the tree I go!



-Monki

    by derlanghaarige

    Yes, it's definitely the most unnecessary violent and unmoralic summercomedy starring Will Smith you will ever see, but it's much more watchable than the first part! (And I got no problem with admitting this.)

    by ricky henderson

    $140 and the damn thing is still too small to be wearable. I'd like to hang out near elementary school playgrounds wearing the full spartan body armor. The Beta freaking owns my weekends. Good call on Bad Boys 2--a highly underrated action flick.

    Seriosuly, how can you go wrong with Bad Boys II?

    by ricky henderson

    It features a car chase with automobiles falling off a truck, flying into traffic and the main characters are pretty much saying "jeebus, they're throwing fucking cars at us." How can you go wrong with that? You can't.

    I post something about how Bad Boys II is awesome whenever there's a Talkback full of people saying that Michael Bay's shit. I think everyone else is a sheep for thinking it's anything less than spectacular, when most of them haven't even seen the damn thing.

    I didn't even read what the story said about Bad Boys II. I just saw a picture of the DVD box and it gave me an erection, so I had to post about it again. That's that shit I'm talkin bout, aaaiiigh!

    LEAVE BIO-DOME ALONE!!!

    by spud mcspud

    I love me some Bio-Dome. I love all Pauly Shore's movies. Yeah, that's right. I am not ashamed. I love that he's actually quite ugly but gets all the hot women in his movies. I love that IN THE ARMY NOW was the only movie that I didn't want to kill Andy Dick in. I love that Lori Petty was almost hot in that movie. But not quite.

    I love BIO-DOME. It is the stupid person's CITIZEN KANE. You can't say that about any Mike Judge movies, because although they look simple, they are too clever to be stupid.

    Leave BIO-DOME alone. I mean it.

    Van Buren - Do you like it or NOT????

    by spud mcspud

    Whether everyone else is being ironic or not - I really love both those movies. There's no subtext - they're not trying to be anything other than funny, one-liner filled, bombastic big fuckin' action movies. Elsewhere, SUPERMAN RETURNS tried to be a Christ allegory, NARNIA tries to be LOTR but fails, GHOST RIDER tries to be coherent... The BAD BOYS flicks are what they say they are: big fuck-off action summer blockbusters. Why can't anyone just enjoy them for that? If you don't like Michael Bay's movies, DON'T FUCKIN' WATCH THEM!!! And that from a major Bay fan, who absolutely HATED Pearl Harbor.

    Did y'all just call me a tick???

    You guys are like little ticks, sucking the lifeblood out of this department! Wusaa!!!

    Admit it, the very best thing in these movies are the explosive scenes of exposition that characterise every appearance by Joey Pants, AKA Joe Pantoliano. Without this man, the movies are nothing.

    Did I mention I really loved BLACK KNIGHT? And no, I'm not being ironic. I really enjoy Martin Lawrence movies. Fuck all y'all. It's my life, man.

    ***CAR AUCTION your custom rides via LIVE in FORZA 2***

    by jdanielp

    FORZA MOTORSPORT 2 gets unleashed this week! With custom rides in the original FORZA (on the original Xbox), artists could manipulate up to 600 decals (per car) to create awesome looking rides...and sell/share them via LIVE. But in FORZA MOTORSPORT 2 on the Xbox 360, artists get to work their magic with up to 4,000 decals per car...and can send out their car photographs to friends and auction the car(s) off, via LIVE (for in-game credits). If you're going to be looking for some *pimped out* rides on LIVE,...you just might come across a car that I've put hours into making a unique looking beauty...and one hot ride. I hope my fellow talkbackers won't be missing out on this game (and LIVE), as it's sure to be an incredible racing sim and car-customizer. Oh, ...and while I'm NOT going to share my LIVE gamertag, ...here's a hint to finding something I'll be putting up for auction: "BUY AMERICAN" ...as you can expect my focus will be on American cars for the first couple of months. And my focus will mostly be on the LOOK of cars (along with body kits), which will leave the modifying to the auction winners. More sales, that way. VRRRRRRROOOOOOOOMMMMM!

    by spud mcspud

    That's what I don't get. What do these people expect, Shakespeare? Patrick Stewart will never appear in a Bad Boys movie, that's for damn sure. They're for people who like to see shit blow up, fast car chases, beautifully framed perving over fetishistic machinery, more shit blowing up, and the holy trinity of Will Smith, Martin Lawrence and Joe Pantoliano. If you want deep, go watch The Fountain - which is amazing, but does not have a scene where Martin Lawrence drinks out of a vase. More's the pity.

    his film roles. Its two fold... one, doing a movie like Bad Boys 2 allows him to keep writing books, music, poetry, and doing spoken word without freaking out about money. And two... its fun. Yeah can you imagine that it would be fun to get dressed up like a SWAT guy and run around a swamp shooting things, or get tossed through a window by Al Pacino... Lighten up.

    by spud mcspud

    The first time I ever saw Teri Hatcher onscreen was the dancing scene in TANGO & CASH. Now every time I here Yazoo's "Don't Go" I get a hard-on. She looked spectacular in that movie.

    TANGO & CASH is the ultimate guilty pleasure action movie. Just a whole helluva lot of fun. I absolutely love it, and by dint of that, the BAD BOYS movies. If you love one, you HAVE to love the other. Ipso facto, check your brain at the door for a six-pack and a pizza, kick back and just enjoy. These movies are for unreconstructed watching. Enjoy.

    Usually in a BAy movie, I have no clue what is going on during the action scenes. You can't tell the good from the bad and you wind up with a massive headache. But you have to respect a guy who can make millions of dollars by giving people headaches. Well done, Mr. Bay.
