VGCulture - Free Mafia 2 or Civilization 5

Official Site: http://www.greenmangaming.com/golden-joysticks/

I'm not even sure if I want to recommend this after the frustration I just went through.  So Green Man Gaming is having a promotion where they're giving away one of two games for free for voting games for the Golden Joysticks Awards.  So you can vote on categories such as best gaming moment, best platform of the year, best indie game, and others.  At the end of voting, you can sign up for a CVG account, if you don't already have one, and choose a free steam key for either Mafia 2 or Civilization 5.  On that form, you have to enter your login for greenmangaming.  If it doesn't work, you'll probably have to choose another username.  You're essentially making a new account on GMG I think, even if you already have one.  Even then, they'll send you an e-mail to get your code and you'll find out that they don't give it to you just yet because your votes weren't registered yet and it will say "Oops, looks like you haven't voted yet!"  So if you really want that free game, you're going to have to be patient and spend some time on the long load times on the voting site and problems GMG is having getting that free steam key to you.

Aside from all that, the whole point for this promotion is to get people to vote on CVG's site.  Honestly, the choices are really hard and made me realized how many amazing games came out this past year.

If you're going after that free game key, best of luck to you and hope you don't run into as many problems as I did.
