Sure, you’d expect to see the first two at a game software company, but the latter isn’t quite as common. Still, geeks love a good party as much as the next person, and they’re more than willing to play the part, so the first annual Windows Gaming employees’ Rock Band tournament brought out the wildest — and the weirdest — in my colleagues. And now, with the photos off the camera and some semblance of normal hearing finally crawling back to my battered ears, I invoke the true spirit of Rock and Roll by taking a risk that might cost me my day job. Because, really, who could resist posting this photo of Games for Windows general manager Chris Early and his posse of high-level directors — Rod Toll, Vlad Cole, and Scott Hartley — practicing their killer stage moves before facing the contest judges? Chris is the one with the temporary [...]

Just in case you thought that nothing would ever make you want to work at Dunder Mifflin, along comes the November exclusive PC download at MSN Games: The Office. This game has everything… or, at least, everything you’d want from a day in the Scranton branch office: filing, printing, pranking, one-upping your fellow employees, mini-games, great lines from the series, the occasional pinata, aaaaaannd bobblehead dolls of all your favorite characters. No, really; the characters are all bobbleheads. Not sure why that works, but somehow, it does. Anyway, the game is a mere $19.95, with the usual one-hour free trial because we want to make sure you like it. Download today for an eff-comp you won’t forget! And while I’m on the subject of MSN Games exclusives, we’ve got a couple of great ones lined up for the coming months as well. Look [...]

First off, the staff at MSN Games would like to wish everyone out there a very happy Thanksgiving Day! For those who aren’t in the States, even if this isn’t a holiday for you, rest assured that we’re celebrating enough for everybody. ^_^ In all seriousness, though, I wanted to take this opportunity to express how thankful we all are for your support over the past year, for everyone who played our web games and tried our downloads, for everyone who wrote in to express their opinions of our site (both good and bad!), and for everyone who made our multiplayer board and card games so very challenging to win. Without our players, we’d be just a bunch of geeks and web monkeys living in cardboard boxes on the street, and we don’t need a holiday to remind us to be grateful to you. Thank you. Thank you so very much. You rock! As you may have [...]
