Ok, I sent the winners PMs. Congrats to them, and sorry for the ones who didn't.

It was really really hard to pick, but I narrowed it down to 4 at the end, and had to coin-toss since all 4 were great.

If I could get copies to everyone of you, I would.

Will repeat this in the future for sure.

Darn! Was I at least among the four?

I think it's better to leave it like that. I liked all the entries, and really had a hard time choosing.

Yours was really great, I love that CSI template, and you used it in an awesome way :D

All Zombies Must Die is a new game by Doublesix (Top Gun, Burn Zombie Burn) and it will be using Steamworks:

http://www.allzombiesmustdie.com/

I fear for the PC version of this title. Top Gun didn't even support keyboard controls at launch if I remembered correctly.

And there's some mistakes on the webpage.

Looks like burn zombie burn stealing the name from Orcs Must die

Okay, I'm going to gift a couple of copies (two or three) of Faerie Solitaire. I'll pick a couple of people at random (or not so random) in an hour or so from now. You may win by having a cool avatar, an interesting user name or by the contents of your reply. Or I may just throw something at my monitor and pick whoever it lands on.

I got burn zombie burn in one of those indie packs a few sales back, it's one of the worst games I own. Completely awful. No way do I give this game the time of day.

Any brave soul give Dead Horde a try?

I'm thinking about it because of the effort the devs put into the Steam release. It has Steam Achievements, Steam Leaderboards, Steam Cloud, Controller Support and Online Co-op. There doesn't seem to be much out yet as far as reviews or impressions.

I think I'll pass on All Zombies Must Die. The characters look too much like Xbox 360 Avatars. *shudder*

I'll just throw my hat in the ring because the game looks interesting, but I'm hesitant on anything called "solitaire". My Avatar may not be "cool" but the Sabres rule so if I lose from that, so be it! Also, my username is a Land Before Time reference, and that automatically gets me a dozen cool points.

Ill enter your contest. I will also let you in on a secret of mine, I have never won a game of solitaire! I know it sounds crazy but my luck is terrible. I even have people sit and watch me play to help me out and I never get the cards to actually win a game. Its bizarre.

A +1 for any recommendations out there for Dead Horde. Just noticed it on Steam and it looks interesting (I'm still a sucker for zombie games).

Looks VERY akin to Dead Nation on PSN. I played, beat and enjoyed that quite recently but wondering if Dead Horde is going to tick any different boxes..

I would like to be in as well.

My username is after the game on the Price is Right. Interesting? Maybe. Also, I have a Detroit Lions avatar. The team has been horrible for more than a decade. That has to count for something.

Yeah, I think they just needed to tweak it a bit more.

Thanks for Cloning Clyde, by the way. Awesome game!

You are welcome. I'm glad you like it :)

edit: really the least I could do. The Avadon you gave me is pretty awesome.

I would be very gracious of the gift. Why should you pick me? Because well, unlike many here I actually play games on Steam instead of collecting them. So if you are looking to give it to someone that will actually play it Steam Profile

Crazy weather and being off of work. I will admit those numbers are a bit inflated because of it. But I usually game for a couple hours almost every night.

Thanks! Glad to see you play as well. Most of my friends on Steam are never "in-game"

You're very welcome.

I've just now started gaming on Steam regularly, actually, thanks to the big surge of indie games they've been getting.
