Update: Congratulations to XeonPro for winning this Fanswag giveaway. Hopefully his day will be brighter, sunnier and full of even more joy.

It's already turning out to be a sunny, beautiful Monday, a day that we couldn't imagine being any more enjoyable or perfect. That is unless you were to play recent XBLA release Roogoo, then your already perfect Monday would be kicked into happiness overdrive with rainbows shooting from your eyes. But what's that you say? You don't own Roogoo, therefore your day cannot live in a Monday happiness overdrive? We're sorry to hear that. But friends, you're in luck, because the kind folks at Southpeak Games have supplied us with an XBLM redemption code for a free copy of Roogoo. So, we're giving it away today, just in time to make your Monday happier. And this is how you enter to win ...

Roogoo is a character best described as "adorable", "cute" and "bubbly", or at least those are the adjectives we use to describe the little guy. So, to enter, simply comment on this post with an adjective you use to describe the character Roogoo. Be creative with your adjectives and use of the English language.
You can leave one comment. Posters of multiple comments will be disqualified. We'll accept entries through TONIGHT Monday, June 9th, 11:00PM eastern time. You must be at least 18 years old to enter. This giveaway is open only to residents of the U.S. and Canada (excluding Quebec).
On Tuesday, we'll pick one winner via a random drawing
One winner will receive a redemption code for Roogoo, worth $10.
Complete giveaway rules can be found here

Remember, this giveaway ends TONIGHT at 11:00PM, so enter quickly and hopefully Roogoo's cheer and happiness rub off on you!
