Name a child, get free games.
Here's a funny story. According to 1up, if new parents name their child "Jason," they get a year supply of video games from Codemasters (their year's catalog, at least). All of this is meant to promote Rise of the Argonauts, considering the character is named Jason or something right? I am not entirely sure, but, still isn't this bizarre? All you have to do is name your child "Jason" and then email the birth certificate to bringbackjason@codemasters.com. This whole situation is really strange if you ask me....read the article if you are still confused ;)
That is crazy and retarded. However, Jason isn't a half-bad name, so I guess some nerdy couples might jump on this opportunity. On a side note, it always kills me how nerdy couples always want to name their kids after video game characters. I think that's like the most pathetic thing ever, to want to name your kid Cloud or Link or something.

I've known about 10 Jasons in my life so it doesn't really seem like something worth winning a contest over. Unless i'm missing the point here.

I wouldn't name my kid Jason for free Codemasters games. Fuck I rented Rise of the Argonauts, it was mindnumbing so I returned it saying it didn't work for in store credit.
"It's kind of selfish. Imagine the kid's reaction when he asks his parents why his name is Jason. ""Were the games good at least?"
"No, they were crap; I traded them in a few weeks later."
"Why?"
"Do you ever wonder why your daughter's name is Lynch?"
"..."
"Eidos was getting on the same bandwagon."
