Telltale Games, with what appears to be cooperation of other publishers, has a great deal through the 10th:

- Penny Arcade Adventures Episode One
- Jack Keane
- Kings Quest Collection
- The Whispered World
- Nelson Tethers : Puzzle Agent
- Sam and Max Season 3

For $20, with 25% of your purchase going to one of 5 charities of your choice: EFF, Child's Play, WWF, Leukemia Society, and Nyoya EV.

Now, the deal is that the last two games (Puzzle Agent and Sam and Max) are locked until a sales threshhold is met ($5 and $10k respectively it seems, neither which are out of whack)

There's one thing about C++ that always gives me trouble, use of new and delete.

I have this line of code, inputString = new chastringLength]; and it's my understanding that I should call delete [] inputString before exiting the function, yet I keep getting heap corruption errors. Am I missing something here?

dead rising: case zero

wow, I played the original and was frustrated by some of the mechanics (specifically the timers), but this demo/prequel for the second game is just great. It really is a nice bite sized piece of gaming. It took me two runs to get the 'a' ending and rescuing all the survivors in one play-through, which worked out to a good 4 or 5 hours today. And with the story only being 12hrs of game time, I didn't feel disappointed that I had to restart in order to get all the achievements either. That is my biggest concern with the full game, having to repeat the beginning over and over to work out what I'm doing.

But case zero A+
