Dream.Build.Play 2012 Registration is Open!

Indie Fanatics, the time has come again!  The annual Dream.Build.Play competition just updated its website, and is now accepting registrations through May 15th.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Dream.Build.Play (or DBP) it is an annual competition put on by Microsoft to promote game creation with the XNA Development Platform.  This is the same platform used to create Xbox Indie Games, and Windows Phone games/apps.  The competition has ramped up this year, since it now has an entirely new category for Windows Phone games, with an additional $37,500 of cash prizes, in addition to the Xbox Category's $75,000.  Game submission is May 15th through June 12th, and the winners get announce a couple months later.

So to all you developers, good luck at the competition, and for you non-developers, you can follow Gamerzitch's own Jake Livak as he enters his game Altercation!

OnLive: 10K Likes in 7 Hours

Today OnLive released a statement saying one of the managers had a "bet" that the OnLive Facebook page couldn't get 10K likes in 48 hours, and if the community did, EVERYONE would get any playpass (game) for $1.  And good news, the community reached this in only 7 hours!  Since then we got a statement giving us information about receiving our $1 game!  

WOW, you all just exceeded my wildest expectations. We added 10,000 OnLive fans in about 7 hours! That means WE won the bet, and every US OnLive user is going to get their next Full PlayPass game for $1! Look for an email tomorrow morning for your promo code and details! You guys proved me right, Thank you!
