So there we were, standing in our kitchen, washing off the blood from that earlier hobo attack when a policeman suddenly smashed through the kitchen window and started attacking us, like in that awesome scene from The Bourne Identity. We killed him with the help of a can opener and a rolled up magazine, but before fleeing for Mexico we looked through his pockets and discovered a brand new copy of the upcoming Wii game Boom Blox. Maybe if everyone started carrying guns with them instead of Wii games, they wouldn't die so quickly. Anyway, we tried packing the game in our carry-on luggage, but it tipped the scales over the limit, so we've got to get rid of it. And we've decided to give it to you!1

1Well, probably not you. Still, don't let that stop you from entering our competition. Boom Blox is a puzzler featuring over 300 levels of block toppling awesomeness from Steven Spielberg and EA. Work out the best way to destroy your environment, and you'll rack up the points. So the question you've got to answer is: if you could destroy one item with high explosives, what would it be and why?

Send in your answers to me (click my name below for my email address), and make sure the subject of your email contains the phrase "Boom Blox Competition Entry". Also throw in your name, suburb and state. Entries close Wednesday 14th May at midnight, with the winner announced on Thursday the 15th.

So put on any sort of thought-assisting headwear and send in your best idea. In the not too distant future, your doorbell will chime late at night, and when you open your door you'll find a brown paper bag containing Boom Blox on your verandah.2 We promise to shake out most of the glass shards.

2Well, probably not your door - the winner's. Which probably won't be you.

1. All entries will be deemed to represent an acceptance of the Terms & Conditions Of Entry by the entrant.

6. There is NO term six.
7. Each email must include complete name, suburb and state of the entrant, as well as their answer for what they'd destroy with high explosives.
8. The winner will be announced on Thursday 15/05/2008, and will be notified of their success by email. Once their postal address has been confirmed, their prize will be sent. If the winner does not reply to this email within one week of sending, they forfeit the prize, and it will be given to another entrant as decided by Sliced Gaming.
9. Sliced Gaming reserves the right to deem any entry invalid, change the prize or conditions of entry, or cancel the competition without notice.
