We Think You’ll <3 Joypad Too: We Have Ten Copies To Give Away

If you’re not already familiar with my love of Joypad, you might want to check out yesterday’s video filled review. It’s really neat (and nerdy) to pull an iPod touch out of your pocket to play a classic on your Mac or PC with a virtual controller, and I think you’ll love this app-controller gone must-have-gizmo too. We’re giving away ten copies of Joypad to several lucky readers this weekend, so if you love blasting pixel pirates or have an iOS toting gamer in your life, you might want to click the tweet button after reading our rules past the break.

The Giveaway:

So first you have to jump through the blazing ring of fire, and then you to swim across… just kidding. Save those weary muscles for thumb blazing sessions with your new copy of Joypad.

  • We have ten copies of Joypad to give away.
  • To enter the giveaway, tweet the following message before 11.59 AM EST, February 13th: Win a copy of Joypad on @MacStoriesNet! http://mcstr.net/g3vZli
