[Update 1: Contest is now closed, and the winner has been alerted, look forward to new contests soon]
We got our hands on Shadow Complex last week, and have been thoroughly impressed thus far with the game. With a Metroid type feel, and Unreal powered graphics, Chair Entertainment delivers a great XBLA experience at $15 bucks. It took us about 8-9 hours to complete, but with secret upgrades within the game, you’ll definitely see enough replay value, with achievements included like beating the game 100% and reaching level 50.
The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support are needed..
If you played Trials HD, you’ll see a similar “How are my friends doing” tracker (on 2nd thought, it looks more like the Gears achievement tracker, but you get the point). Plus, the game ties into Orson Scott Card’s storytelling, so fans of Ender’s Game and Empire will get even more enjoyment.
Overall, between the hours of gameplay, and with the 3 extra sets of challenges, you should definitely try out the trial, or full game. But what if you could jump into the game for free, and early! Well, 360Sync is giving you the chance to play before the game is even released, something that is nearly unheard of, since XBLA games aren’t available early.
On Monday at 11:59 EST PM, we will will pick a winner, and send the winning combination ASAP, which will let you try out the game for free and early!

Awesome! After listening to Major Nelson's podcast, I'm excited about this game.
Been hearing nothing but universal praise for this game. I do believe I want this game..now.
Im really excited about this, if it mimics the old Metroid games then its a must buy for me. Too bad I'm broke as a joke right now
Shadow Complex is going to be one of the most well worth it arcade game for the 360….amazing
I've been reading reviews left and right and it's certainly not helping me get over this game! My desire has been increasing day after day. Ive seen every video, read every preview, and read up on every forum… the wait is not getting easier.
Aug. 19th can't come any quicker!
ive been sitting in front of my computer for days on end following this game and im dying to play it
shadow complex is legal crack
Been dying to get a crack at this game, the Empire books was awesome and its been a long wait for Shadow Complex. Chair has put together a great game I think.
Shadow complex is going to rock, its awesome that you guys got codes early to give out!
i surely hope i am going to win goodluck to me!
Shadow Complex is just the type of XBLA game I've been waiting for.
Thank for giving us a chance to check it out!
I hope I get it.
I doubt it though.
The reviews are just getting me more and more excited to play this game. 91 on metacritic, that's awesome so far! Summer of Arcarde is officially better than last year with this 5th game.
Great contest I hope I win this today before it comes out! All my firends would be so jealous, thanks 360sync.

This game looks great! Chair Entertainment and Orson Scott Card with support from Epic Games, what can be better than that! Maybe I can win a copy.
Shadow Complex videos look great I wish to play this game early.
sweet!!!!! thanks!!!! Shadow Complex looks amazing!
Shadow Complex looks great!!!!!!
Shadow complex is going to be a great addition to xbla!!!! thanks!!
Shadow Complex would be better at 800 points, I iwll have to really love the trial demo for me to spend 1200 points on digital media dowloaded games, I just prefer owning a physical copy of all my games. And $15.00 is not cheao for digital rights!
Would probably sell a few more copies at 800 points, but 1200 is fair, since it does offer a good 10+ hours of gameplay
Shadow Complex releases on my birthday, so it would be an early birthday present if I win!
hello to the fantastic people at 360Sync. You guys are both gentlemen and scholars. Both Shadowy and Complex. catch my drift? Also you and your fantastic web site are a gift bestowed to humanity by the grace of the gods of the internet, who also see fit for you to bestow upon me a download code for the live arcade title shadow complex, if you would be so kind.
thank-you and good-night!
Thanks for the compliment, along with the entry into the contest
The foam gun is the ultimate weapon! Shadow Complex brings forth a new standard for XBLA games.
Man, I've always wanted a game like Super Metroid but with real ballistic weapons… and years later, Chair delivers! (No, Stargate on SNES does NOT count!)
Shadow complex is going to be a game I want to buy when it comes out, thanks for the chance to win Daking!
I followed a rather complex web of shadows to be able to post her
I can haz?
Shadow Complex sounds great. I'd love to win it!
Shadow complex looks so awesome. Watching it brings me back to the Super Metroid days.
That and I am a huge Orsen Scott Card fan. I know he didn't write the game directly but the fact his books have inspired the game is IMO amazing!
I swear, Shadow Complex is going to be the reason I will fail many exams. D: But I can't wait to play it!
Hmmm, Shadow Complex looks good. Though what's it about exactly?
Shadow Complex looks awesome! I can't wait to play this even if I have to buy it.
Game looks amazing. Thanks for holding the contest
Shadow Complex is a must have game. I really want to end my summer of arcade right!
Ooh yeah I'll give it a go, it's been TOO LONG since we had a good console Metroidvania game! Gonna be all over that 100%.
I think I will love the gameplay. I'm not a fan of metroidvania, but there is always a first.
