June 20, 2004 - Don't you hate sweepstakes where you go through all that work of filling out forms -- and then you end up being just another guy out of 5 million who doesn't win anything? Well, here's your chance to enter to win and get a great tool in return that actually helps you.

Yes, it sounds crazy, we know. But if you create your own personal (and FREE) wishlist and collection on IGN, you could win your most-wanted games -- every week!

Every week, we will preorder or buy one lucky IGN reader the Top 5 games on his wishlist. You want DRIV3R? Want us to preorder Halo 2 for you so that you get it free the day it comes out? Let us pick up the tab and get the games that cause you to toss and turn at night in sleepless anticipation. (The sweepstakes excludes hardware bundles, of course. So sorry, no Steel Battalion.)

Here's how it works:

Go to http://users.ign.com and set up your FREE wishlist and game collection online. Make sure that you have at least 5 ranked games on your wishlist (to rank games, just enter numbers into the boxes to the left of the game titles, then hit the "rank" button). We advise to have more than 5, though. If a game is not yet available for preorder the day you win, we'll move on to the next game in your list. So don't worry about having Perfect Dark Zero as your most-wanted game. If we can't preorder that one yet, we'll get you the next one on the list.

If you've already set up your ranked wishlist and collection, be sure to update it with the latest changes. When you're done, lean back in your chair and dream of the gaming goodness to come. Winners are announced every weekday right here: http://users.ign.com.

Create your Most-Wanted List and Collection NOW!

If you'd like to get an idea of what a user page looks like, check out my wishlist and collection.

To set up your own wishlist, you have to first create yourself an IGN username. It's completely free -- and only takes a few minutes.

So join the club, track your collection, manage your wishlist, rate and review games, and get your weekly chance to win new games.

Good luck,
