Our friends at New Era have just shared a quirky clip with us, of a couple of parrots playing the upcoming Ubisoft game Tom Clancy's End War. The game can be controlled using voice commands over a headset, and these parrots are definitely commanding their troops to victory!

Congratulations to Mr Chii Kee who sent in this elaborate recreation of a scene from Metal Gear Solid. He of course, scored a whole bunch of brownie points for incorporating such a high quality and value-for-money lifestyle/tech magazine into his photograph, and we've shamelessly fallen for his flattery. Sure he looks more like Pyramid Head from Silent Hill than Solid Snake, but you can't fault the production values here.

We'll be sending you an email momentarily, and we hope you enjoy the game! Thanks to everyone else who sent in entries! Check back for more give aways.
