The Gamestop Indie Contest. is opening it’s eyes to all the indie game developers out there, and you should try to catch them.
First prize is $100,000 US and a scholarship to SMU. Thats some major coinage there.
It does come at a price though, to win you need to submit either a finished game on disc -or- a video describing the game you wish to make… and $100 to cover the costs of the greathall their renting, yeah it baffled me too.
But hey, you gotta do what needs to be done to get noticed in this industry… personally $100 for a raffle ticket is a little steep to me, but w/e.
Peace and Good Luck,

Right now on steam you can pick up a copy of valves newest hit “Left 4 Dead” at an alarming 50% off. I must say I had avoided buying this game up until this point, solely because of its’ cost… I cant really just ify $50 for a game unless it happens to strike me in just a certain way.
From what I understand so far, this game is essential a little bit Man Hunt mixed with a little bit resident evil, multiplayer. Anyways, I’ll probably purchuse before the weekends out, and will try to post my review accordingly. If you own the game, why not buy a friend a copy, cause “it’s the zombie apocalypse, so you’d better bring friends…”

EDIT:
been playing the game since work, it is pretty fun… I’m kinda running out of stuff to try in single player, but hopefully some mod packs exist out there. Multi-player is fun, and offers a great team-work experience, I’ll be working it into my regiment pretty soon.
Overall its a new valve game, which isn’t bad. It’s not the most inovative game on the market by far, but what it does do, it does right and that means a lot. If you don’t own this game, I’d still suggest picking it up, especially at 50% off.
PS- Watching the zombies fold over with awesome ragdoll effects is quit3e possible my favorite part.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Vegas 2 on Steam.
It’s now $9.99 or 50% off until january 20th (it’s the current weekend deal) I’m installing the game now and will update this post to review status once I’ve gone hands on.
I’ve gotta say it’s looking good though. I was a wicked fan of the original Rainbow Six game, and it’s expansion rainbow Six: Eagle Watch, but that was way before I had a high-speed connection, and even before I had a “graphics card”, so as long as Vegas 2 can successfully carry the mantle of it’s fore-fathers, I see no issues and am issueing a strict “GO! GO! GO!” (a little CT humor) on buying this game.
Will edit once the verdict is in!

Edit: Sorry I couldn’t get back to you guys on this game sooner… I was addicted! while I at first wasn’t sure the game was for me, seemed like a lot of trouble (not killing hostages, defusing bombs, etc.) once I realized what terrorist hunt was, I was elated! you can pit yourself against a house full of enemies and just go nuts! and terorist hunt adds to your total xp, which is used to unlock new guns and equipment… man, this games deffinitly worth ten bucks, and it’s probably worth the twenty it is when it’s not on sale. For now though, only get this game if your not playing anything else.
Also, since I happend to be on my vista install when I bought the game, I’m running it on vista, and though the system requirements for vista are kind of high, 2048MB RAM Radeon HD 3850 and above, I don’t meet either of those (1.5GB’s RAM Radeon 3650) and it runs flawlessly on high settings.
Peace, I’m gonna go take down some tango’s!
ugh, now thats an ugly bitch
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl on Steam is 75% off for the weekend, making it only $4.99. I picked up my copy right away, having heard rumors the game is good. I’ll append this post once it finishes installing and give you more details.
EDIT: Deffinitly worth the five bucks, the game is something like Diablo (the Game) meets… Black (the game)… or something, if anyone even gets both of those references. So, if you’ve got steam, and if you don’t go get it, it’s free, this is deffinitly a game to get. Simple, fun, complex, challanging, engrosing… All words I’d use to describe this game.
