Thanks again to all our participants! We hope you'll continue the stay with The Wiire.
Ask someone to name an enemy fundamental to a Mario game, and you'll likely hear "Goomba", but what about Dragon Quest? Why, it could be none other than Slime! In celebration of the staple 'enemies' so quickly pummeled by colorful 'heroes', The Wiire is giving away five copies of Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors to those readers who truly know how to cherish a Slime.
How can you turn down a face like that?
If image editing isn't your cup of tea, feel free to print out the provided picture of Slime - or make use of that Slime plushie you keep stashed behind your bed - and merge your creativity with the real world. Don't be bashful about including yourself or others in the picture if it works to your advantage!
When you have your Slime-tastic picture ready, e-mail it to "contests@thewiire.com" with the following information:
- First and Last Name
- Mailing Address
- Brief Description of Picture
The contest will run from today until Friday, March 28, at which point The Wiire staff will painstakingly debate over the five best Slimes. Winners will be contacted shortly thereafter.
Contest Rules:
- Only North America resident are eligible.
- Only one game per household.
- Picture must not feature any obscene references. Please use good judgment.
- Have fun!
Contest Materials:

Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors is Square-Enix's first foray on the Wii platform.
