While I’ve seen this kind of thing happening in the Console space fairly often, it is still a bit of a rarity in the iOS/mobile space. There is no charge to enter the tournament and the (universal) Letris 2 app is available to download at no cost as well.

So why not join in for a little free, friendly competition?!

For those of you not already familiar with Letris 2, it is a word game “where you must build words in order to keep the screen clean and tidy as long as possible”. Simple in concept, but challenging in the execution. The game is a sort of mash-up between Tetris and Scrabble, with lettered tiles constantly falling into the game area from the top of the screen. You must use these lettered tiles to form words in order to remove the tiles from the board (making room for more tiles). Letters do not need to be adjacent to be used in the same word.

If you already have Letris 2 installed on your iOS device, you’ll just need to make sure that you download the updated version and touch the “Tournament” button to participate. Ivanovich Games is currently seeing an average of more than 200,000 players per day Letris 2, and they are hoping that a large percentage of those daily players will participate during the one hour tournament window currently scheduled for 4:29:59 PM (EST) tomorrow, February 4th.

How will the tournament work?

Here are the rules (as they appear on Ivanovich Games’ website).

1. Press the “Tournament” button in the game to see when the next tournament will be held.
2. At the time and date indicated be prepared to enjoy an intense 60 minute online tournament and press the “Tournament” button so that the system can randomly search for your first adversary. This is how your first qualifying level will begin!
3. If you manage to win your match you will move on to the next round, you will be given a password which you can tweet to demonstrate your achievement and you can carry on playing, but this time, facing only players who are on the same round as you.
4. If you loose a match: No problem! You stay on your round and you can keep playing matches within the same round as many times as you like until the 60 minutes of the tournament are up.

When the 60 minutes are up, the winner will be the first person to tweet the password from the highest round. So it’s not about who gets the highest score, it’s about having fun and playing the game with players from around the world. The winner will receive $40 iTunes gift card.

Dynavix USA GPS Navigation is the newcomer on the GPS app scene. Also a universal app, bringing navigation to your iPhone or 3G-enabled iPad, this title offers iOS users clear and accurate turn-by-turn navigation with its “Clever Route” technology, along with the latest maps on-board (inside device).

CoPilot Live Premium HD USA was completely redesigned from the ground up last year, and this HD release transforms your 3G iPad or iPhone into an in-car GPS navigation system. This is a great GPS app (which has been on my iPhone since its release). Boasting an all-new clean and intuitive UI CoPilot Live has never looked better.

The CoPilot Live team are doing a giveaway of their own, giving away free passes to the Macworld-iWorld 2012 event in San Francisco later this week. To enter THAT GIVEAWAY, Apple fans just need to visit the CoPilot Live USA Facebook page and click ‘Like’. Full details on this giveaway are here.

Either of these fine GPS titles will get you where you need to go whether it be across town or across the country.

So how can you win a copy of CoPilot Live Premium HD USA or Dynavix USA GPS Navigation?

Today, Radical Entertainment, in collaboration with Slice / Slice HD creator TwitchGames have launched PROTOSLICE™ and PROTOSLICE™ HD, which are free PROTOTYPE 2-themed versions of the popular Slice iOS titles.

PROTOTYPE fans can now see just how sharp Sgt. James Heller’s Blade Arm really is. PROTOSLICE™ utilizes Sgt. James Heller’s deadly Blade Arm to bring this “visceral scare puzzler” to life as players work carefully clear away the layers of very sharp Prototype-blades in order to push the P2 button(s) without getting their fingers sliced! If sliced, you’ll ‘bleed’ onto the glass and the puzzle will reset.

Each blade can only be moved in a certain direction and some blades will move on their own, so timing comes into play. As you progress through the game, there will be more and more blades to deal with, which means more fingers and maybe even your nose.

Between levels you’ll be treated to sneak peak screenshots from Activision and Radical Entertainment’s upcoming title: PROTOTYPE 2, which launches on April 24, 2012.

ProtoSlice

ProtoSlice HD

The sequel to Radical Entertainment’s best-selling open-world action game of 2009, PROTOTYPE 2 takes the unsurpassed carnage of the original PROTOTYPE and continues the experience of becoming the ultimate shape-shifting weapon. As the game’s all-new infected protagonist, Sgt. James Heller, players will cut a bloody swathe through the wastelands of post-viral New York Zero (or more simply…NYZ) with unparalleled locomotion, building up a vast genetic arsenal of deadly, biological weapons and abilities as they hunt, kill and consume their way toward the ultimate goal – to kill…Alex…Mercer!

PROTOTYPE 2 will be released on April 24, 2012 on Xbox 360, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. The game is currently rated “RP” (Rating Pending) by the ESRB, with an expected “M” (Mature – Content that may be suitable for persons 17 and older) rating.

Did we mention we are giving out FREE PROTOTYPE 2 Shirts?!

He’s given us a total of 10 codes to give away and they must be used quickly because they are going to expire VERY soon (much like the poor police officer in the first screenshot).

The good news: If you win one of these codes, you’ll get the retina update for FREE!
The bad news: You’ll have to download the nearly 200 MB game twice, but you’ll be getting an amazing game for free…so no complaining.

Get A FREE Copy By Finding The Promocodes In The Images Below:

In honor of the puzzle nature of the game, Hector has decided to embed all of the codes in the screenshots below (2 per photo and they are not THAT well hidden), if you can find one, redeem it quickly as they won’t last long!

Please leave a comment below stating which code you found so we know when they’ve all been found.

First off, players can switch the design of their disc to a single solid color, or change the decoration and background colors of the traditional flame design for FREE. If that’s not enough for you, you can purchase any of the seventeen new 99¢ DLC packs, each of which contains at least 4 different designs which can be color customized as well. These range from numbers to patterns, stars to swirls and even sports balls.

Best of all, if you purchase one of these customization packs, they are tied to your account, meaning they are available across devices and app versions. Buy it once and use it on both your iPhone and iPad releases of the game! You can even change your colors and then tap on a decal pack to see how it would look (with those colors) before buying. So give your disc a little personal flare and character all your own.

Also in the v1.8 update is the ability to swap the power button positions. Being a righty, I’ve had no issues with the current positioning myself, however I suspect that any south paws playing the game will be happy to hear of this option. Finally, you can now see your complete first second and third place stats on the Settings screen to get an idea of how well (and how much) you’ve been playing.

Now here’s what you really came for…to celebrate the update, the guys at Pixelocity have been kind enough to give us two copies of the (paid) iPhone release and two copies of the iPad release to give away to our lucky readers.

How can you win?

There are three ways to participate in. the giveaway, each will earn you ONE entry to win a code, see the terms and conditions below:

UPDATE: And the winners are…
