TheMan661 and the Xcast send us word that they are giving away 1600 MS Points to the one person talented enough to create their new logo. Oh, and the winner also gets a copy of
Shrek the Third, but it's probably better if we don't mention that. Wait a minute! You could easily slap that puppy on eBay, right? So, in essence, the Xcast is giving the winner 1600 MS Points and
free money. Yeah, that sounds much better. Head over to TheMan661 for more details.

Just like their
Mother's Day contest, Xbox.com is holding a Xbox Dad of the Year contest to celebrate Father's Day. To win, you have to prove to the judges why your father figure is the ultimate gaming dad. If he pwns with the best of them, is patient with noobs, is a good loser, or has taught you all you know about gaming be sure to enter and tell them about your gaming dad. One winner will receive an Xbox 360, HD DVD player, wireless racing wheel, an accessory kit, and be labeled the Xbox Dad of the Year. And if your father isn't exactly the gaming type don't fret. You still have plenty of time to teach him your gaming ways or adopt a new dad for the month, because you have until June 9th to enter. Good luck!

As part of their launch party fun, the charitable devs over on the
Shadowrun team are holding a few screenshot caption contests where the winners will be invited to play with the team on launch day. If your sense of humor is top notch, then they want you to create the funniest caption for the three
Shadowrun screenshots that they've posted on the forums. The funniest caption from each contest will get an invite to frag with the dev team in a private
Shadowrun match on launch day via Xbox Live. And all winners will also receive a rockin'
Shadowrun tshirt. But you must hurry, because screenshot caption entries must be submitted by tomorrow night at 10:00PM eastern. And don't forget to be all funny and stuff.

Army of Two preorder on. And with a certain
Halo 3 emblem contest going on right now, the creative/designer types have their work cut out for them. So, get to work already.

Since it was the people who
demanded a
Bioshock LE it's only fitting that the people design its box art. From now until May 2nd, 2K Games is asking artistic fans to send in what they think the box art for the
Bioshock LE should look like. Yup, they want you to create the box art! If you're the artsy type, be sure to check out all the details after the break. And remember that the designs should be pretty basic and clean (like the example above), because they'll be etching it onto the LE's casing. So, no need to include the
Bioshock logo, Xbox 360 junk, or barcode. Oh yeah, the person who submits the winning design will not only see their artwork on the LE, but also get a few copies of the game for free and be flown from anywhere in the world to the
Bioshock launch party in August. How can you not love that?
