The game you’re looking at here is one chosen by NVIDIA and Phosphor Games to help show the Tegra 3′s impact on the mobile gaming space – in fact, at the moment you’re only going to be able to play this game for Android on a device with a Tegra 3 processor because of the intense graphics and awesome gameplay involved inside. NVIDIA’s quad-core 4-PLUS-1 technology embedded in the Transformer Prime will bring you new elements never before seen in the game’s short history: “detailed enhancements such as higher polygon count, animated textures, water effects and dynamic particle effects” amongst other elements to be sure. You can download the game and play it through completely for free via the NVIDIA Tegra Zone and the Google Play App Store starting this week!

UPDATE: We’ve found our winner! His name is John Walker and he wrote this amazing poem for the win!

“I would love an Asus Transformer Prime tab from Slashgear
Using it for all of the things I love, don’t you fear
I will be playing games on it, that’s no doubt
And even if I don’t win it, I won’t pout
I will use it for my work with Wounded Warriors charity
and steal some of my neighbor’s wifi, but only sparingly
I’ll use it for Twitter and Facebook and maybe eMail
But one thing’s for sure, the quad-core processor will never fail
If my fingers get tired, I’ll have the keyboard dock
To rest it on my lap and type away at my portfolio and stock
I’ll make sure to share the tab with my little brother
And even design a birthday card with photoshop for my mother
Maybe I’ll keep updated on Android news, that would be cool
I could even research my thesis paper by my outdoor pool
I’ll keep all of my photos organized and post with on Instagram
Or maybe use the photos to keep in touch across the country with my fans
My fans from my automotive blogging sites I post on
And use WordPress on the tab, writing English only, no Klingon
Well, this poem is over, but my love for the Transformer Prime
It will remain forever, because of its power and beautiful design.”
- Walker

All of this and more was detailed in our Apple Hub linked to above so I wont go into details. Instead lets talk about how you can win your very own directly from SlashGear.

Below you will find the details on who the lucky few winners are but first make sure to check out our week 1 & 2 winners post. We were lucky enough to have a few more tablets to giveaway and today is the day they will learn where their new homes are. We literally had thousands of entries and had to create multiple giveaway threads over on Google+ as we continued to reach the comment limits over on the new social network site.

We loved seeing what all our readers had to say as we went through all the entries and had a blast reading the comments. Without talking too much I’ll just announce the winner of week 3 for the Acer Iconia A500 tablet below.

(drum-roll…)

Kirsty Lawer WINNAH!

Congrats! Now you can be one happy Androinerd, you are the winner and soon to be proud owner of a brand new Acer Iconia Tab A500 NVIDIA dual-core Android tablet.

We also were nice enough to have this same giveaway running strong on our sister site Android Community and they’ve been giving away a wide array of Android tablets too. This week they had the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and you can check out that giveaway right here. This was the final week for our giveaway so I might as well announce the Android Community winner here while we are at it right?

Josh Oman WINNAH #2!

And there you have it, the winners for both SlashGear and Android Community neatly for your convenience. This was an extremely awesome giveaway and we had a huge turn out and loved every minute. Now remember guys, this isn’t the first and most definitely will NOT be the last giveaway we do here at SlashGear as we have some huge plans over the next few weeks that we will be sure to announce shortly. Don’t forget to check SlashGear.com daily for not only your tech and mobile news, but for the next big giveaway when we do get things started.

In closing we would like to say thank you to everyone that entered, and give a huge thumbs up and THANK YOU to NVIDIA for the prizing and making this entire thing possible. Not only do they provide the world with amazingly fast and powerful Tegra 2 dual-core NVIDIA powered tablets, but they were nice enough to pass a few along to us for our faithful readers to enjoy. Stay tuned for our next giveaway coming shortly!

Thanks!

Getting up to dual-core speed with the HTC Sensation is Andrew Jackson, who was picked by the random generator and got back in touch with us earlier today. In fact, he tells us he’ll be giving the smartphone to a friend who still languishes with an HTC Legend, and we can’t think of a better upgrade!

If you weren’t lucky this time, fret not: we’re lining up more SlashGear giveaways for the very near future. And if you’re desperate for an HTC Sensation – and we can’t blame you – you can find all of Three’s deals on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone here.

This giveaway has been gratefully made possibly by NVIDIA, the developers of the awesome processors that make the tablets run hot! Just incase you’re unaware of what we’re dealing with this week, check out our [full review] of the Acer Iconia Tab A500 before you go any further.

WINNERS will be given the opportunity to submit a review of their tablet and have it posted on the front page of SlashGear or AndroidCommunity.com! *Reviews may be edited or modified before publication and are considered works for hire under the 1976 Copyright Act. Submissions will be ineligible for payment or remuneration.

Competition is open to residents of the US or UK over the age of 18. One entry per contest per person. Family members of Google and SlashGear/Android Community are not permitted to enter. Competition entries are only accepted via the specified SlashGear Google+ Page; entries left in the comments section of this or any other post will not be recognized. One entry per person (and yes, we check). Winners of the July 2011 Android Community Tabletpalooza giveaway are ineligible to win the July 2011 SlashGear Tabletpalooza giveaway, and vice-versa.

The winners will be contacted by a SlashGear or Android Community staff member upon being selected and will be expected to respond to that staff member (it’ll be Chris Burns) ; they will be expected to respond within 24 hours else their prize may be forfeit and another winner selected. Editors decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.

Prize consists of five NVIDIA Tegra 2-powered tablets to be announced at the start of each weekly contest period, distributed between SlashGear and Android Community. One prize per winner. There is no cash alternative or any other alternative for prize winners unless this prize should become unavailable, in which case SlashGear and NVIDIA reserve the right to substitute another prize of equal or greater value.

Each of the following entries comes from a lucky soon-to-be recipient of a brand new Android tablet, one of them from Android Community and two of them from SlashGear. Each of these winners must contact us within the next 24 hours of this post being made, if they haven’t already, in order to claim their prize! If the winner is you, contact us QUICK via giveaway @ slashgear.com unless, again, you’re already in contact with us through some other means. If you do NOT contact us within 24 hours, we’ll be forced to give your prize away in a later contest!

Below you’ll find one entry from Facebook and two from Google+. All entrants had to submit entries to both sites in these first couple of weeks in order to complete their submission (and if you entered on Facebook and requested a G+ invite from us, you’re in too, don’t worry.) We randomly selected each of these winners, then went back and found our favorite of their two entries. We got some real characters!

First we have Hampton Lepig (whose real name is Harrold, but requested that we call him by this nickname for some reason or another!) He’s the proud winner of our first Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1! Check out his Facebook entry right here, and we hope your son gets a lot of use out of the slate!

Next we’ve got Paul Hammond, who is clearly a fan of guns and Android, which we don’t condone, but he does love hot sauce and Guns N Roses, which we certainly DO condone. Hope you don’t shoot this Asus Eee Pad Transformer in the face, man!

Finally there’s Alex Hernandez, who’s entered our most recent tablet week here on SlashGear for the T-Mobile G-Slate. Hopefully Alex can use the tablet to surf the web, find, and purchase a brand new pair of pants, yes? Sounds good!

Now remember, this isn’t the end of the contest, only a roundup of the first few winners! We had a bit of a complication with the first time we tried to give away the Acer Iconia Tab A500 on Android Community, so we’ve decided to include it in our final week here on SlashGear. Therefor our last two giveaways during this final week are thus: SlashGear has an Acer Iconia Tab A500, and Android Community has a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1! Try for them both! Both have separate entry posts now if not soon, remember to hit them both separately! Have fun!

You’ve got to check out the T-Mobile G-Slate full review we’ve got up from back when it launched, then it’s time to win one! This is the tablet, perhaps you’ve heard of it, that’s got a dual-core processor, Android 3.0 Honeycomb, and two cameras on the back. What?! That’s crazy! With these two cameras you’ll be able to take fully 3D photos and videos to your heart’s delight, then share them on the internet via YouTube and Google+. Sound like your kind of party?

ALSO note that we’ve got another one of our FIVE tablets to give away – this time they’ve got a Asus Eee Pad Transformer to give away. Fun!

Between both sites we had tons and tons of entries and it was an extremely hard choice to single it down to one lucky reader but enough of that, its time to announce the winner… (Drum-roll please)…

Jorge Conty! Congratulations Jorge! You have just won yourself a shiny new Android 3.1 Honeycomb Tablet. Hurray! Click here for his winning comment.

That makes Android Community (1) and SlashGear (0) but don’t worry we plan to have more unboxing wars and giveaways coming soon so stay tuned right here at your favorite gadget and tech site — SlashGear!

Even though it looks a little different on the back it is the same amazing hardware so don’t forget to check out our Galaxy Tab 10.1 Google I/O Limited Edition Review, or feel free to also read the review from our sister site Android Community, after all they’re who won this round anyways.

Rules

Contest begins June 1 2011, and ends June 9 2011 at 11:00AM PST. Competition is open to SlashGear readers over the age of 18. One entry per contest per person.

Once we’d located the source of the hole, it being a monitor-shaped hole it wasn’t difficult, we went about tracking the footsteps of the thief all the way across the earth. We went to Barcelona, Las Vegas, Orlando, lower Indonesia, Tokyo, and even aunt Mabel’s back yard where no human can escape without doing some yard work. And there it was, right there floating above us in a cloud of rapture – the monitor! We were just waking up at the time, of course, having just survived the second coming of the gods and all that, and it turns out we’d been sleeping for a few weeks instead of just 30 minutes. Imagine that!

So long story short we’ve got a winner and her name is Heather Creely. You can see her entry into this contest in the image above, and you can see the full rules for this contest right over here: Original Post. As with all of our recent contests, if Heather cannot contact us within 24 hours (we’ll give a little leeway since we’re so late announcing this one,) she’ll have to forfeit the prize and we’ll choose again!

For those of you who’ve not yet received their tablets, yours truly will soon be in touch with you to hand over your tracking numbers so you can be sure to be at the door when the FedEx man arrives. For everyone that already has their tablet in hand, now’s the time to consider reviewing that lovely bit of technology for us and the rest of your compatriots. We value your opinion the most, readers, as it’s you who we’re aiming to serve. Prepare yourselves for some good ol’ fashioned everyman reviews of the very first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet in town.

Meanwhile, here’s a list of everyone that won once more just so you’re aware:
David Cornier-Chevere
Jeremy Stagg
Santi Hallifax
Andre Phillips
Kimberly Michell

If one of these is you, you’ve already been in contact with me and your device is well on the way. If you’ve received your device and it was on fire or covered in slime or anything like that, contact me or leave a comment below!

Everyone else – stay tuned! Many more awesome big contests on the way!

Yes, David Cornier-Chevere, it is you. You lucky, lucky college graduate. Let me tell you all a story about how awesome David’s day has been today:

1. He won a XOOM.
2. He graduated from college (literally, today.)
3. He had a great hair day.

Everyone else will have to continue brushing their hair until they have a great hair day and graduate from college and we have another contest with whatever tablet we’ve got on hand at that time. Oh wait, what’s that you say? We’ve got another tablet contest going on right now? One where you could win a Galaxy Tab 10.1, one where you get to watch Vince and Ben rip open their Google I/O edition Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets and judge them on many elements?

WIN a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 by Judging our [Epic Unboxing War Number One!]

Check that out and win another amazing tablet! David, you’re not allowed to win, you can only win one tablet. You won a XOOM. Enjoy it!

Let me next go down a big fat list of reviews we’ve done over the past few days because the collection is impressive:
Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc
Samsung Galaxy S II
Droid Incredible 2
HTC Wildfire S
Samsung UN55D8000 55-inch 1080p 240Hz 3D LED Smart TV Wildcard!
ACER Iconia Tab A500 Android Honeycomb tablet
DROID Charge
Wowie!

Then lets move on to some announcements: Samsung Galaxy S Wifi version 4.0 and 5.0 were made official, HTC EVO 3D went on super secret Pre-sale at Best Buy, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 is declared routable and we show you how it’s done, and a fan of Android Community tries his best to bend the rules with a song he calls House of the Rising XOOM

Have a look at the first Android 3.0 Honeycomb optimized Twitter app TweetComb, take notice of the DROID Charge’s ability to take screenshots, and get yourself a taste of Gingerbread with CyanogenMod 7 for the T-Mobile G2x. Oh and the Samsung Galaxy S II is already rooted.

In gaming news we’ve got Sony Online Entertainment getting hacked, Mortal Kombat 2011 (aka Mortal Kombat 9) : a review roundup, and Rovio announces its first update to Angry Birds: RIO.

Then on to the features:
SlashGear 101: Spaceflight
SG Comics Presents: PlayStation Network Outage
Blackberry Bold 9900 and 9930 hands-on [Video]
I Cant Wait to See the Wii 2 by Don Reisinger

And heck, while we’re here, how about a couple more wild cards?
Osama bin Laden dead: Raid was confidential but Twitter wasn’t [Video]
Rice University graduate student extends WiFi for a mile using empty TV stations

What a sweetly odd day!

It’s a prize worth $499.99, and features a 7-inch touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS, along with Adobe Flash support. There’s also two cameras, and RIM has thrown in Android app compatibility so that the PlayBook won’t be short on software to run when it hits the shelves.

The BlackBerry PlayBook goes on sale April 19, and is available to pre-order from Office Depot here. One lucky SlashGear reader will get a PlayBook of their own for doing nothing more than checking out the SlashGear Facebook page, however. Full instructions are below…

Go for it!

As you know, this contest started back on January 31st, and was complete last night at midnight. In this contest you were to become fans of both ours and Toshiba’s Facebooks and Twitters, then you’d have had to have tweeted an image of yourself getting totally pumped up about your favorite team! Congratulations to everyone who entered because the contest has been a massive success!

After much debating and lots of punches thrown back and forth over whose team photo was best, we’ve selected one – ONE who will win. That winner is…

That’s right! Twitter user @Whitbord has so much Cheesehead fury that we just couldn’t resist! We’ll be contacting @Whitbord via DM on Twitter (or if @Whitbord were to contact us, that’d work too) to toss a giant television in the general direction of Green Bay!

We’re super psyched that everyone had an awesome time submitting their team spirit photos, and we’ll seeya tonight, tomorrow, and throughout the rest of time here on SlashGear, the site you love to grab the greatest technology news in the world!

Take a peek the original post to see all the rules and regulations again if you wish.
