Gaming is a very popular activity, with over 1.2 billion worldwide regular gamers making up the community. Some choose to play their games online, while more than half of all games will play on PC to play their favorite games, and others who chose to use their games consoles.

Games come with adventure, competition through leveling up, the creation of stories and new worlds, and the earworms from the music that come with them.

If you grew up with Super Mario, Zelda, Crash Bandicoot, and Tomb Raider, you know the sense of adventure that comes with them. So, as well as the nostalgic feelings that leave a gamer enthralled by them, there are many more benefits to sitting down and playing a game (or 2, or 3 or...you get the idea!)

Hey there!  My good friend Justin, over at Dragonblogger.com, is hosting a video game giveaway!  The cool thing about the Dragonblogger giveaway is that there is no set game to win.  You get to pick the game!  That's right, as long as the retail price is under $60, you can chose ANY game for any gaming platform or console.  That's pretty damn awesome, right?!  You can pick anything from the recently released The Last of Us or if you have your eye on a game that is releasing in August, you can pick that too! Also, if you decide that you want Minecraft for the Xbox 360, Justin will throw in a second copy of the game, FREE!  That way you can gift one to a buddy.  Not a bad deal if you ask me.  Now on to some giveaway details.
