Ladies and gentlemen, start your game engines! From December 21, 2009 through January 25, 2010, Gendai Games and Macworld 2010 are teaming up to host “Macworld 2010 GameSalad Challenge.” Individuals and teams will compete to create the most innovative, creative, and fun video games for the Mac and iPhone. Finalists will receive a Macworld 2010 Platinum Pass, with a chance to win a GameSalad Pro membership and an Apple iPod Touch. On January 29th, we’ll notify the five Finalists and post their games to the GameSalad main page where the general public can vote on their favorite. These five games will also be presented live at Macworld 2010, where a panel of judges will demo and critique each game. On February 13 we’ll announce the winner, determined 50% by the public vote and 50% by the judges, at an awards presentation on the Macworld 2010 expo floor. We look forward to playing all the innovative, creative and fun games that GameSalad users come up with!
