We mentioned around the time of our recent reboot that we wanted to do some giveaways to celebrate CFD!’s one year anniversary this month and we do our best to make good on our promises. So here we go!
We’re sure you may have heard tell about the Darksiders giveaway, where some early purchasers of the game received a mystery code, the purpose of which was only recently revealed. Well, it seems that CFD! has found itself in possession of a stack of these codes and it would be greedy of us to just hold on to them all ourselves. So, we here at Crush! Frag! Destroy!, being the generous souls we are, are giving away not one, not two, not even three, but four (!) sets of prizes for this particular contest! Each winner will receive a digital Hellbook disc, containing “Darksiders art, videos, and other awesome stuff!” as well as a copy of THQ’s Red Faction: Guerrilla for either PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360!
Wanna know how? Hit the jump for all the rules and details…

Each week for the Weekly Stack, I upload a picture of my stack of games I've been playing this week. Want to join in? Reply with a picture of the FIVE games you've been playing (or wanting to play) the most this week. The stack should be in order from most-played at the top to least-played at the bottom (and if you didn't play five, just include games you wish you had gotten to on the bottom). Then tell us a little bit about your experience with the games!
We've had a bit of a break from the Weekly Stack while I've been moving, but we're back in gear! And even though it's a slow summer for new games, there's lot to catch up on, so check out what I've been playing and post a picture and words about your Stack below.
Red Faction: Guerrilla -- Once again, it was a video posted right here on Current that convinced me to buy Red Faction: Guerrilla (check it out below), and it was not a mistake. Some have called it "GTA on Mars," but the real genius of this open-world game is its focus on completely demolishing buildings. Since you're vastly outnumbered in the rebellion you're leading, you really need to use guerrilla tactics: get in, blow stuff up, and get out before the opposition gets too brutal. It makes for a frenetic, sometimes frustrating, and ultimately enjoyable experience. So far I've liberated three sectors, and I can't wait to clear the rest.

Star Ocean: First Departure -- I've been putting this off for a while, but I'm finally embarking on my epic journey to play through the full Star Ocean series of sci-fi JRPGs. This remake of the first game for the PSP starts slow but is building quickly. Right now I'm just over five hours in and have discovered the shocking twist (MINOR SPOILER WARNING) that the game doesn't just include space travel but also time travel! It's far from ground-breaking, but if you love Japanese RPGs, Star Ocean is a dependable series.
Fallout 3 -- Though the 360 version is pictured (borrowed from a friend), I'm actually playing a copy of Fallout 3 on PC that I bought super-cheap off of Steam last week. I played the game when it came out last year for review, but since that was on a debug system, I'm starting over now, and I'm loving it all over again. The only major complaint is that I desperately need some more tunes on the radio, but since I'm playing the PC version, some easy-to-find mods should make that simple to fix.
Halo 3 -- It's been a long time since I've broken out my copy of Halo 3 -- I like the Halo games just fine, but I'm not nearly as fanatical about the series as some 360 owners. This week, though, my buddy Jason and I hopped back into split-screen online multiplayer and started re-learning the ropes. The new map packs provided some challenges, especially figuring out the layouts and objectives of the new territories, but overall it was fun. Hopefully we'll keep it up and actually learn to not suck again.
Iron Man -- And fresh from GameFly, i've got...uh, Iron Man. I haven't heard great things about this Sega movie/comic book adaptation, but I guess I added it to my queue last year when I was still hyped on the movie and curious. I didn't get a chance to play it this week, but I'm going to try to check it out after finishing Red Faction. I don't have high hopes, but I've got at least give it a shot, right?Each week for the Weekly Stack, I upload a picture of my stack of games I've been... more

A new episode of The Bender for the Fourth of July (even though it has nothing to do with the holiday). We talk a bit on that Transformers movie, we pay our respects to the pitch man Billy Mays, Allison goes on about The Conduit, James talks crap about Old Wizard, and Mike gives out a lot of good torrent sites.

Infamous -- After wanting so badly to play this a couple weeks ago and having to take a long break for E3, I finally got to REALLY dig into Infamous this week...and it was so worth the wait. I'm totally digging the variety of powers and the nice number of mission types available. And on top of all that, this game seems HUGE. I'm only just nearing the 50% complete mark and I've sunk at least 10-12 hours into it already.
Bionic Commando -- I finally got the chance to tear into Capcom's latest franchise revival. There's a lot to love about Bionic Commando -- the complex and well-realized swinging mechanic, the fun challenges that are consistently handed out as you progress -- but it's all a bit weighed down by clumsy shooting and shoddy level design. I really want to get through all of Bionic Commando, but after a frustrating checkpoint-light level full of snipers who drain your health in a few hits, I'm just not sure I'll find the will to return to this game.
New Super Mario Bros. -- Perhaps it was seeing New Super Mario Bros. Wii at E3, or perhaps it was just watching series creator Shigeru Miyamoto play the game with some adorable noises and a clear passion for what he's making. Whatever the case, I got an unavoidable urge to break open the DSi and start a new game of NSMB. While it's not the best 2D Mario game ever created, I maintain that this handheld outing has some brilliant levels that capture everything that's fun about Mario.
Red Faction: Guerrilla -- I picked Red Faction up as my game that I plan to dig into as soon as I'm done with Infamous. However, since Infamous has been lasting me a lot longer than I expected, I haven't actually got to play it much yet. Want to know what convinced me to buy Red Faction? Check out this video "review without words" by Current user rfm_arthur:

Super Mario Galaxy -- And speaking of Mario and a sudden urge to play Mario games! Super Mario Galaxy was one of my favorite games of 2007, and a sequel was really all I wanted from E3. With that announced and some very enticing footage shown, there was one factor that pushed me over the edge: G4tv.com's Andrew Pfister, who did a great write-up of exactly why he's so excited about Mario Galaxy 2 in their Top 5 E3 Highlights story, reminding me why I'd like to go back and play even more of the original in the mean time:
