- Jul 2010 - Apogee licenses by Chroelle
This week we hit another jackpot as oldie-goldie-gamemaker Apogee (now known as 3DRealms) has given us permission to host all of their freeware games. This does not mean all of their discontinued games, as some are not freeware, but if the game is marked down as freeware on this site, then it is available as a distributable game, so go find your favourite, search our forums to see if it has been submitted, or else go submit it yourself. We don't want to hog all the fun. :) Thank you Apogee! - Jul 2010 - Even more games added this week by Chroelle

- Aug 2010 - Assembly'10 Gamdev competition entries by Zyx
One of the biggest demoscene/LAN festivals, Assembly, opens this week and this time around they had a game development competition (probably had it in the previous years as well). Here are the entries. Some of them are Flash games, and one is even a NES game, but for most part they are Windows games. Also, most of them are freeware. Many of these games are Finnish, so do expect a really, really odd humor. - Jun 2010 - The Silver Lining is back! by Zyx
