The crowd at CDV's booth during their 4pm raffle on Friday

I Heart Geeks.  This is a puzzle game.  But it’s not like Tetris, or Bejeweled or Brain Age.  Well closer to Brain Age sort of.  So the intro is your chased by a bunch of jock bullies, but the hot cheerleader helps you out and hides you in a locker that then leads to the geek lair.  Then the fun begins, each of the geeks has an area of expertise and they begin showing you the ropes. 

You get to use pulleys, chains, generators, magnifying lenses, ropes, balloons, balls and a whole host of other objects to solve these puzzles.  Then you get to the challenge level which so far has the goal of stringing up one of the bullies on the school scoreboard. The artwork and back story were developed by Mark Ecko and his team.  Most of the puzzles have multiple ways of being solved, head to head mode and over 100 puzzles to solve.  All in all this is a fun game and worth your money.

Also Mark Ecko is slated to be at CDV’s booth on Saturday to sign specially designed shirts at 2pm.  So get there early!  CDV will also be rafflilng off 3 Nintendo DSi's.

Additionally those of you at PAX on Sunday can enter the PhotoVenger contest, put up on Alienware, Antec, the ECA, CDV and Patriot Memory.  Swing by any of their booths to get details, the prize is a package of prizes worth almost $1k!
