Cryptic Sea Building a Bridge to Next Week

Cryptic Sea has been working on a physics based bridge builder thats giving me a serious case of nostalgia. It makes me fondly remember back to my days as a structural engineer, building bridges on a huge 386 based computer wedged into the corner of a 6th grade computer classroom. Okay, so I might have over stated my position a touch, but Cryptic Sea’s Pontifex III is looking like good old fashioned bridge building fun with some great new features and modern graphics. Better yet, you’ll be able to drive over your own bridge once you’ve completed its construction –I don’t see any way this could possibly go badly! The game is still in the process of getting polished up but is anticipated to enter beta next week.

Milkstone Studios Begins MotorHEAT Score Contest

The folks over at Milkstone Studios have begun what looks to be a good old fashioned high score romp in their latest racer MotorHeat. The contest was originally mentioned some time ago, but was delayed due to some unexpected scoreboard issues. Fortunately now that they’ve got a couple patches in the game thigns are working great and gauntlet throwing fully enabled, the contest can begin.

Of course, what would a contest be without prizes? Boring, thats what! So Milkstone is offering up some game codes and Microsoft Points cards as prizes to winners. A snippit of the details are below and a full list of prizes and details can be found on on Milkstone Studios’ page.

When?

The contest starts NOW, at the same time the patch comes out, and will have a length of 15 days, so it will end on April 1st.

How to take part

There are only two things needed for you to take part in the contest:

  • You need to appear in our World Rankings chart. We’ll update the ranking daily on a spreadsheet and make it public, so you can know if you’re appearing and the score we have registered.
  • You need to have an active Gold LIVE Subscription. This is necessary to ensure you’re not creating Silver profiles just to increase your chances of winning something.

We’ll set up a server running almost 24hrs a day, so you shouldn’t have any problems to get your score synchronized to our list. Anyway, if you can’t synchronize your score, feel free to send us a picture with the ingame highscore table and we’ll add it manually.
