Contest winners this week:

Sick Puppies Street Fighter IV Contest – The Winners!

Dammit, you guys keep getting better and more creative with your contest entries, and it’s making them really hard to judge. As usual, we judged the entries on creativity and effort more than artistic ability, and came to the conclusion that (drumroll) lymanzaar and 5DollarFootlong are our winners! Congratulations guys! We also especially loved the entries from SausageLozenge, Bobbety, and AlpineGuy – well done, guys…we wish everyone could have won. You can see all of the entries in the forum thread. Check out lymanzaar’s winning animation below:

Winners: please shoot a private message to the GamesRadarPrizePig with your name and address. And be sure to mention what you won in the subject line, in case we forget…we do a lot of contests. And to anyone waiting to receive a prize: THEY’RE COMING! We promise we haven’t forgotten.
