If you're an Xbox 360 fan and love playing Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, you can now mix the two, blend them together, have a great time and enter a competition that could bring you some goodies - we're talking about prizes of over $5,000! All these thanks to UGO Networks, id Software, Activision and the New York Comic Con, where hourly Quake Wars tournaments will be held for all the attending fans.

So, for the first time, right before the Xbox 360 version of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, you will be able to play the game and earn some cash if you visit the UGO Game Lounge. The prizes, consisting in products from Sideshow Collectibles, a manufacturer of movie, film, television and proprietary collectible figures, statues and high end pieces have a value of over 5,000 bucks. And we all know that collectibles' prices keep growing!

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars has more than 80 editor awards and nominations and it all seems natural, since the game offers some great multiplayer shooting, delivering fast and fun combat with a new level of depth and strategy. Being able to play either as a human or an alien, the player will also have to choose one of the five combat roles - probably the one that best suits its style. Also, mechanized walkers are available for the players, as well as the option to call in devastation air strikes, disguised infiltrations and many more.

Persistent achievements and campaign proficiencies reward players for teamwork, while clearly defined roles and objectives guide players to meaningful contributions on the battlefield. And now, as you can see, all these will make more sense and have a real impact in the real life, since tournaments and prizes are involved.

So, if this weekend you happen to be in New York and have no idea what to do, go visit the New York Comic Con and try to remember that if you see the UGO Game Lounge, it's time to grab the controller and blast some enemies on the Xbox 360 consoles in order to win some goodies.
