Two thumbs up to you!

If this turns out to be successful, the Indian gaming community can expect much more coming out from within the community itself.

A great morale booster for all those who have been involved in making the Indian gaming community a force to reckon with.

lol I got 31 ids, now what?!

[ctrl_alt_del]

No, multiple voting is not allowed. Or else what will be the difference between the stupid talent shows and this? Neither will it be ethical to do it though once online, ethics normally go out for a toss.

Rest assured, there are means in place to track multiple voting.

[Pathik]

^^ What Means exactly? IP tracking?

[ctrl_alt_del]

Which only the code-monkeys know. I am a mere mortal.

Anyways, a little announcement:

Hello guys,

as the deadlines are coming closer, we think it's time we start unveiling the great prizes that we have in store for you. Now we could have unveiled them all at once, but we always love a little bit of suspense and drama around whatever we do.

So instead, we will start unveiling the prizes one by one every day, as the D-Day approaches. Keep checking back to see if something that you have been hoping for is there in the prize-list.

Let's start with the prize we are sure everyone will love to have:


The Orange Box (PC)

Release Date: 10th October 2007
Price: INR 999.00

Get your hand on the most awesome game pack of all times. The Orange Box packs in quite a punch by putting together six highly acclaimed and award winning games from Valve Software, the creators of the Half-Life universe. For long-time fans of the Half-Life series, The Orange Box offers Half-Life 2: Episode 2 where they can continue with Gordon Freeman in their quest.

For those new to the series, The Orange Box offers an excellent opportunity to start right from the beginning with Half-Life 2and continue with it's sequel, Half-Life 2: Episode 1 before they finally get to the latest in the series, Half-Life 2: Episode 2.For the multi-player addicts in you, The Orange Box has Team Fortress - 2, a completely revamped and refreshing look at the original Team Fortress game.

And finally for all of you, who think video-games are just run-and-gun affairs, Valve presents you with Portal, a game that will twist your mind in ways you thought was not possible. Complete with oh-so-cute turrets that apologize as they shoot you down to the inanimate companion cube that you will fall in love with, Portal is a game that will change the way you look at video games.

Two lucky winners will get to take The Orange Box for the PC, home.

Many thanks to World Wide CD-ROMS for The Orange Box.

[Major-Minor]

Keep voting people, lots of prizes to be won, we will be announcing more prizes in the coming days.

[ctrl_alt_del]

The next prize up for grab is the following:

Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Release Date: 5th November 2007
Platform: PC
Price: INR 1299

Though rabid fans of the Call of Duty series were ghast when the heard that the award winning series is going for a complete overhaul with a new modern setting in CoD4, thankfully Infinty Ward proved them wrong.

Available for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, this game has managed to wow everyone with it's superb graphics and awesome cinematic moments that just have you go "Oh-My-God!". Right from raining death from above in state-of-art enemy aerial vehicles to getting up-close and personal as you sneak through enemy infested battlefield, this game has it all.

To keep the charm of the game alive long after you completed the single-player campaign, you get to go online and play against other players in a test of skill and reflexes. With the addition of new concepts such a "Perks" in the multiplayer aspect of the game, Call of Duty 4 has managed to push the genre in new directions.

Vote now and two from you could be the lucky winners to take home this game, thanks to World Wide CDROMs.

So keep voting as more prizes are unveiled!

[Hitboxx]

Just one question, though silly, but what if we already have the aforementioned titles? I got both of them, so is it possible to opt for an exchange? (in case I win)

[prasad_den]

Voted...!!

[ctrl_alt_del]

@Hitboxx: Sorry mate, I don't think that would be possible. We are trying our best to ensure that Xbox titles go out to Xbox owners, PS3 games for PS3 owners and so forth. But finding out if a particular person has a particular game will be a difficult task.
