Some game companies send Christmas cards to the press. Others send fattening holiday treats (like Final Fantasy 13 or Wii Point Card cookies, pictured below), probably in hopes of delivering some of us to an early grave. So far, no one's sent us a "donation to the Human Fund in your name" type of "gift."

Microsoft didn't send us any of the above, however, opting instead for something a bit more practical: a gift card for a 12-month Xbox Live Gold subscription -- a $50 value we'd like to pass along to one of you.

Here's what you have to do to have a crack at winning it: Check out the eight Christmas cards scanned in below, figure out what game companies sent them (hint: Some might have more than one correct answer), then send your guesses (numbered and in order) to letters@bitmob.com with the subject head: Christmas Card Guesses.

Next week, we'll pick someone at random from all the correct entries and reveal the winner and the answers on Bitmob.

Note: You must email us from the same address you have registered on Bitmob -- this prize is only for a legitimate member! Void where prohibited. Also, if you see any awkward empty spaces or bad Photoshop work on the cards below, that's us removing any obvious clues.
