If you haven’t received the latest newsletter from Ubisoft, here’s some refreshing news. To celebrate the Dark Messiah release for Xbox 360 in 12th February, a new contest has been announced. To enter it just submit the registration form and a randomly chosen entry will win a weekend for two to Comic Con New York, including a night out with the hot Frag Dolls! There are some additional prizes for the runner-ups like Premium Xbox 360 Accessory Package, External Maxtor One Touch Hard Drive and a free copy of Dark Messiah Elements. The contest seems to be open for US residents only.

Meanwhile, GamesDog today published one of the first reviews of Elements, yet again classifying Dark Messiah as a RPG and comparing it with Oblivion. According to the reviewer “the story here is as dull as dishwater” and “Elements is staunchly linear”. At least slaughtering monsters and the power of the kick was fun. The verdict:

It might not be quite as depth filled as you could have hoped, and a single play through will only take a matter of a free days, but there’s little doubt that Elements can be a lot of fun if you’re into the whole bloodlust thing. If fantasy themed brutal first-person action is what you’re after, you could do a hell of a lot worse.

Final score: 7 out of 10.
