Gaming News - September 2005
Redmond, WA (September 14, 2005) - Microsoft today announced that it
is seeking the ultimate Rise of Legends fans.
From Microsoft:
Do you have what it takes to become one of the ultimate Rise of Nations: Rise
of Legends fans? Microsoft Game Studios and Big Huge Games challenges US and
Canadian gamers to join in the first of several competitions designed to find
the world’s Ultimate Rise of Legends Fans.
The competition, which is hosted by Microsoft Game Studios and Big Huge Games,
will consist of multiple online contests. One Ultimate Fan per contest will win
an exclusive visit to Big Huge Games where they can see the creative process in
action. In addition, each winner will document their daily experience in their
own Rise of Legends blog and get to rise to the ultimate challenge and battle
against Big Huge Games in an exclusive head-to-head online multiplayer match.
The first contest will be a fan fiction contest where gamers will be invited to
write fiction based on specifically chosen in-game screen shots. These shots
will be posted on the official Rise of Legends homepage at
www.bighugegames.com/riseoflegends/contest1.html on September 14, 2005 and
fans will be encouraged to devise the most inventive and imaginative story using
the theme of magic versus technology. Big Huge Games representatives will then
select the ten finalists, which will be announced on October 6, 2005.
From October 6, 2005 to October 19, 2005, the choice of the Fan Fiction contest
winner will then rest in the hands of gamers. Gamers will be invited to vote for
their favorite story online and ultimately decide the winner, which will be
announced on October 28, 2005. Rules and regulations for each contest will be
available throughout on the official Rise of Legends Web site.
