developer [2]Rare. After a $375 million payoff Rare will now produce
games solely for the Xbox. After Rare's recent releases for the Nintendo
systems bombed, Nintendo decided to sell their 49% stake in the company
last week rather than buy the company themselves. [3]Google News has a
[4]nice collection of links to articles regarding the announcement." You
might be reminded of Microsoft's [5]purchase of Bungie a few years ago.

You can read all about the conference in an [3]interview with Jay Moore,
GarageGames Marketing Manager. And yes, the conference is sponsored by a
Brewery with the official “indie” beer, Spank Dog Ale! "World Domination
through Collaboration" (official conference motto), Justin Mette [4]21-6

heard of the EnB Beta from Tech TV, but not all beta's are publisizing on
tv. Where do you geeks find your hopefull prospects? Are we really left
to hovering over a game we love, or random picks from a google search?"
