			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We got together with EA to give one LA area Koalition reader and a friend to attend the Need For Speed Hot Pursuit launch event. All you have to do is leave a comment in this thread about your best Need For Speed experience, using a valid email address in the email field. It&#8217;s really just that simple. The winner will be chosen Sunday evening so make sure you spread the word fast. Full details about the event below. <strong>You will be contacted Sunday night, if selected</strong>. </p>
<p>The main reason to be at this event besides the game is to see <a href="http://chiddybang.com/">Chiddy Bang</a> perform. The duo is making a ton of noise in the hiphop community and creating a serious buzz. You may want to school yourself on their music if your not in the know, so I highly suggest you check out their latest release &#8220;The Preview&#8221; on iTunes: <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-preview/id393676451">http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-preview/id393676451</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Tuesday, 11-16, 2010</p>
<p><strong>Chiddy Bang To Headline LA Launch Of<br />
EA’s Need For Speed Hot Pursuit</strong></p>
<p>­­­­________________________________________________________________</p>
<p><strong>WHO:</strong> 	Breakout electro inspired hip-hop duo Chiddy Bang</p>
<p><strong>WHAT: </strong>	Launch of EA Games’ latest release, the “race-or-chase” driving game Need For Speed Hot Pursuit www.needforspeed.com</p>
<p><strong>WHEN:</strong>	9 p.m. Tuesday, 11-16</p>
<p><strong>WHERE:</strong>	Avalon, 1735 Vine Street</p>
<p><strong>WHY:</strong>	Chiddy Bang &#8211; whose music is featured in this adrenal video game &#8211; is suddenly exploding on the music scene and in the media: The Philly duo was MTV&#8217;s &#8220;PUSH&#8221; artist of the week in late October, when the act was also a Twitter &#8220;trending&#8221; topic; their video &#8220;Opposite of Adults&#8221; has 7 million Youtube views; the New York Times called it&#8217;s October CMJ showcase &#8220;a gem&#8221;; and the act&#8217;s fans include Kanye West, MGMT and The Roots.</p>
<p>Chiddy Bang&#8217;s performance for EA will wrap up a 7-city US tour &#8211; and is the official launch of the anticipated video game &#8211; which goes on sale the same day. This party &#8211; also featuring HD game kiosks, and all-night complimentary cocktails &#8211; is a hot-ticket, invitation-only event.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Treyarch&#8217;s highly anticipated shooter <em>Call of Duty: Black Ops</em> is out this week, and with it comes your chance to win exclusive prizes courtesy of Raptr. Here are the official details on this exciting giveaway.</p>
<p>Starting this week, Raptr will be <em>tracking the progress of everyone playing Call Of Duty: Black Ops</em> on both the Xbox 360 and PC. The initial prizes can be unlocked in either one of two ways:</p>
<p>1)Individuals who tally up a certain amount of hours will become eligible for a handful of prizes such as Kinect for Xbox 360. The bigger prizes become unlocked globally once more hours are tracked in Black Ops with the largest prize package consisting of an <em>Alienware PC Gaming Rig</em>, estimated value of $2,000.</p>
<p>2)Raptr has given us a limited edition Call Of Duty: Black Ops &#8211; themed pair of <em>GUNNAR</em><strong> </strong>shades to giveaway to our Koalition readers!!! We are set to give away the prize once <em>2,000,000 hours</em> have been logged into the game. Given the insanely fun nature of the online multiplayer mode, we expect this goal to be met by next week.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Raptr contest" href="http://raptr.com/contest/codbo" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a></strong> to check out the contest page and progress bar.</p>
<p><a href="http://images.thekoalition.com/2010/11/DSC_8245.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-45637" title="DSC_8245" src="http://images.thekoalition.com/2010/11/DSC_8245-570x383.jpg" alt="" width="570" height="383" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>All you have to do to enter is to leave a <em>comment on this post</em> and we will randomly choose a winner. Even if you haven&#8217;t purchased Black Ops yet, you can still win by commenting below. This is a <em>WORLDWIDE</em> contest, so all of our International readers are eligible to play as well.</p></blockquote>
<p>We would like to give a special shoutout to Raptr for doing the contest with us.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today marks the release of Rockstar Games latest highly anticipated title, Red Dead Redemption. While many may believe this game has the potential to be a sleeper, you can&#8217;t deny that the idea of exploring a western environment crafted by the GTA creative team could present an interesting experience. In celebration of this title&#8217;s release, we decided to show you the package we received exclusively from the Rockstar team. The Swag Bag includes a copy of Red Dead Redemption for Xbox 360, A Large T-Shirt, A pair of rolling dice, a bar of soap, and a pack of playing cards. If any of you fans out there are interested in any of the swag items ( except for the game of course) feel free to answer this following question:</p>
<p><strong>Besides Will Smith, name one rapper who appeared in a Western genre movie.</strong></p>
<p>If you think you know the answer, hit me up with an email at richard@thekoalition.com and the swag is as good as yours.  Contest is open to US residents only as shipping would be paid for. As for the game itself, I&#8217;ll be providing my detailed review later this week to let you know if it&#8217;s worth your money. Until then sit back and watch a few of your favorite westerns to tide you over. Special Shoutouts to Rockstar Games for sending the game and the swag to go along with it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Attention gamers, Do you need a new car? If you do check out this competition our friends at Mitsubishi are running. They are offering some great prizes, including a brand new <a href="http://www.mitsubishi-cars.co.uk/asx/">Mitsubishi ASX </a>. All you have to do for a chance to win the car is click the preview below and put your driving timing and co-ordination skills to the test. You will be tested driving in rush hour traffic against the clock, parking your car in impossibly tight places, navigating through tricky cone layouts and playing car tennis.</p>
<p>You will also notice that the game looks like that OG Grand Theft Auto from years ago which I hope you have played as I expect one of you hardcore gamer to blitz this and with the brand new car, we cannot let some old ass woman win. Also post your scores in the comments and we will have a side competition to see who got the best score. We cannot offer any prizes at the moment simply because E3 is next month and we are all broke saving for that.</p>
