Win Yourself a Copy of Chime on XBLA

Last week Microsoft threw Chime into their Critic's Choice deal of the week sale.

To celebrate (this week) Team Xbox and OneBigGame are giving away 10 copies of the game to readers here at the site!

Before we get down to the how to, let's talk about the game a little bit. Here's the official description of how the game works:

"A creative twist on both music and block puzzle games, Chime tasks players with covering the playing field with irregular shapes, each connected to a sound effect from the background music track, to form rectangular blocks, called quads. Gamers control a single shape at a time, and can move, rotate, and then place it on the grid. A beatline moves across the grid in time with the music, and sets off events when it hits placed shapes. Quads are created by placing shapes in solid blocks of 3x3 or more. When a quad is completed and the beat line hits, different musical samples are triggered dependent on its shape. The size of the quad denotes the score, and multipliers can be achieved by having several quads on the screen at once. Chime’s innovative game mechanics enables players to create a unique remix of each song every time they play a level as the building of larger quads unlock more elements of the underlying song. Working their way to 100 percent coverage of the grid, players will unlock the song in full."

So not only does it feature a ton of unique gameplay, but OneBigGame announced last week that they'd donate ALL the net proceeds to their "charity partners Save the Children and Starlight Children’s Foundation." During regular weeks OneBigGame aims to donate 80 percent of their normal proceeds to the same charities.

Not bad at all. But now we'd like to give away 10 additional copies to you loyal TXB-ites. All you need to do to enter is leave a comment in the section below saying you'd like to partake. We'll then run all the names through a random drawing generator and send you out the codes!

Simple enough, right? Now get to commenting!

Please note, we're closing off entries at MIDNIGHT Pacific Time on Sunday, July 11th.
