If you head over to the Afterfall Insanity Facebook page and click that shiny 'Like' button you'll be entered into a contest for a limited edition copy of the game and Afterfall gadgets. After clicking the 'Like' button "submit a photo that reminds you of a post-apocalyptic setting". That's it. You'll then be entered for a chance to get scared for the low-low cost of free. You have until November 25th, 2011 to submit your photo. Fans will get to vote for their favorite through December 5th with the winner being revealed on December 6th.

"There are many abandoned or destroyed places that perfectly reflect the atmosphere of post-apocalyptic. Many of them have already been discovered, others are still waiting for perpetuation. Photography also gives an opportunity to show the reality in a completely different way. We hope that through this contest you will get a little different look to your city and its surroundings," says Patrick Hamerlak, Marketing Director of Nicolas Games.

• Hammerfight
• And Yet It Moves

*All five titles work on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

As one of those series' of games that's infamous for being so different that it in a way differentiated itself a little too much for the masses, Oddworld Inhabitant's ODDWORLD is to get another chance to garner more fan's by way of Valve's Steam. Every release with the 'Oddworld/ name is to get re-released in their entirety in one cool package. As to when or the cost of the titled ODDBOX is landing on Steam is still TBD, but rest assure it will be soon as it's slated for "this 2010 Holiday season". More info on the games can be found after the break.

With monstrous releases like Call of Duty: Black Ops behind us we must not forget about our Indie Developer brethren. Coming from Swedish developer Spelagon is Heavy Hogur. A title of the likes that's largely only seen in the PC space for some odd reason. A puzzle game set beneath the earth, you're a lone Dwarf collecting treasury as you weave your way through each of the 60 rooms while the floor/ground beneath you gives way to the literal weight of Heavy Hogur himself. Releasing Sometime in December 2010, fans of Lazy Raiders on Xbox LIVE Arcade should find themselves right at home minus the twisting and twirling of course.

 Now available via Impulse and Gamersgate, Woody Twp-Legs is now here. Those looking for pirate ship combat, this is your game for just $4.99.

If you've haven't experiencde Darksiders up until now, you just might be in luck for waiting on the PC version of the game as you have quite a few perks to purchasing the title digitally. Depending on where you buy the game you may find yourself in a bit of a bind assuming one of the attached offerings is of your liking. Entire other games as an incentive is absolutely the way to do it, if at all.

In addition to purchasing the game through traditional retail outlets, gamers can opt to get their copy of Darksiders for the Window PC from 12.01am EST on the 23rd September through a variety of Electronic Software Distribution (ESD) partners. Users who pre-order Darksiders PC from Steam will receive a digital copy of Titan Quest™ Gold Edition for free, pre-ordering from Direct 2 Drive will earn gamers a free copy of Red Faction® Guerrilla™ for PC and Gametap is offering a free copy of Company of Heroes® with each pre-order.

Travis Plane, Vice President of Global Brand Management commented, “THQ is dedicated to delivering great product to the PC gaming audience so Vigil Games has pulled out all the stops to make this title every bit as satisfying as its console counterpart. We hope the PC audience enjoys battling the forces of heaven and hell in this great game.”

Being received rather well back in Janurary of this year from press across the industry, it most certainly doesn't hurt if more people get to play Darksiders not from their couch, but their preferred 2 foot experience with the most pixel pushing power they can muster.

A short few years ago there was a lot of anticaption for the then still to come Realtime Worlds creation APB. Thoughts of an MMO of sorts in the vein of a Grand Theft Auto game were a huge topic of discussion. A console version of the game was even apart of the conversation as well. But, now that the game has seen the light of day on PC only and largely failed to live up to its high expectations along side financial difficulties from its creators it looks like the end is nearly here already. What will happen to all of the prepaid purchase's made by players is still an unknown. From the APB official forums comes this message:

APB has been a fantastic journey, but unfortunately that journey has come to a premature end. Today we are sad to announce that despite everyone's best efforts to keep the service running; APB is coming to a close. It's been a pleasure working on APB and with all its players. Together we were building an absolutely amazing game, and for that, we thank you. You guys are awesome!

From all of the Realtime World staff we thank you for your continued support.

The servers are still up, so join the party and say goodbye!

Xbox LIVE was previously the only place to find Zoe Mode's Chime. A music puzzle title that finds itself in the fortunate situation of being a vehicle of great charity on behave of OneBigGame. For every purchase 5% of the royalties of the PC version will be donated to charity. Previously 100% of the proceeds from the Xbox LIVE version have already been donated. Additionally this version of the game will include an extra level featuring Jonathan Coulton’s “Still Alive”, made famous by Valve's Portal.

Chime can be found on Steam at the following url for $4.99: http://store.steampowered.com/app/62100/
