I hope that you have all survived Walpurgis Night unscathed and are ready for an excellent first of May. In the past, the first of May was May Day, a springtime festival. It’s also International Workers’ Day. This year is different. May 1, 2012 will be remembered (by a few of you) as the day that began Broken Joysticks’ epic month of game giveaways and contests.

Most of the staff of Broken Joysticks are somewhat puzzled by what the May Day was all about. However, I have it on good authority that it involved wizards, breaking the fourth wall, and accidentally crushing your friends with magic rocks. Thus, we shall commemorate May Day by giving out three steam codes for the Magicka Collection. You may find them hidden in our articles, twitter account, or our steam group.

Directions for activating the game on steam and a trailer may be found after the jump.

How to activate a key on Steam:

  1. Launch Steam and log into your Steam account.
  2. Click the Games Menu.
  3. Choose Activate a Product on Steam…
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process.
