Ok - this is pretty cool.

The engine that runs almost all games (including Gears of War) out there is now available as a free download to make your own game and levels.

And the great part is, there are tons of models, tutorials, code, etc. to get you started right away.

nI'm re-posting this job listing article I saw in Gamasutra this weekend.  I think it shows a good diversity of some of the opportunities out there in the game world.

Some of the more interesting positions include mission scripter and senior designer.

Check them out!

Here's another great Gamasutra article about the development of Halo 3: ODST.

With a team of about 70, I think they must have had huge challenges getting this game released on time.

It's a good read.

I'm not sure if you've heard, but the next installment of the Halo series (Halo ODST) comes out tonight at midnight.

I'm not planning to go to the midnight release - mostly because I wouldn't actually get any sleep tonight, plus I do have to work tomorrow.  However, that hasn't stopped Gamestop from calling me twice to remind me of all the great festivities they'll have going on tonight.

We all know the Tower Defense type of game.  There are lost of examples out there.  Most of them are in flash or on the iPhone.  

They're fun.  Basically, you have a playing field, and you set up defensive towers.  Then, the game sends out ever increasing hordes of monsters to try to break through your defensives.  Fun stuff.
