Here at Substance TV, we want to do our little part in to give back to our viewers and the community, but in a different way. Both Erik and I know video games are a luxury item. It’s not the cheapest hobby, but we’re suckers for those pretty pixels. When recession hits, the old video game budget shrinks considerably. So Free Play is our way of giving back the goodness of gaming to our viewers. What is Free Play you ask? It’s is a monthly contest. Each month we’ll pick a game reviewed on a past episode of Substance TV and give it away for free. Simple as that.
In the January Free Play we were giving away a complete copy of Treasure’s underrated classic, Wario World for the Nintendo Gamecube. And the winner of the January Free Play is……

Congrats and enjoy my good sir!
Ah the month of February. For us here at Substance TV, the month of February is indeed about love. Oh but not the love between two people, but the love of between a person’s head and the pavement. What better way to celebrate this kind of love then by giving away a game that celebrates the bond of fist and face. So this month we are giving away Urban Reign for the PS2. This game is all about mayhem of the fist and foot variety. This was the first game we reviewed in episode one of Substance TV, and even all these years later, it still stands the test of time. In fact, like a fine wine, the passage of time has made it even better.
Urban Reign is also a game that provides many “Bein’ the Man” moments. You know, those times where somehow you pulled off that awesome gaming feat and amaze even yourself. For reference, check out the video of us doing just that. So for the February Free Play, we want you to tell us about your “Bein’ the Man” moment. Was it when you beat the last boss on Contra III on hard with just your machine gun and one life? Did you beat M. Bison in Street Fighter II with a double perfect? Whatever it is, tell us about your “Bein’ the Man” moment. My “Bein’ the Man” moment was in F-Zero GX for the Nintendo Gamecube, but instead of describing it to you, I’ll do one better and show you some footage (video coming soon).
As with every Free Play, you can enter by posting a comment here or on the YouTube video (which will be up soon). But this month, you can also gain an extra entry by submitting a video response to the YouTube video. Either tell us about your “Being’ the Man” moment on video, or better yet, show us some actual footage. This gives you a total of three possible entries into the contest!
Deadline for entries is February 28th at 11:59 P.M. so get to crackin’.
Thanks again to everyone who has participated and good luck to all.
