Win a KRE-O Star Trek USS Enterprise Construction Set

My buddy at CuteMonster is having a contest for the super-cool KRE-O Strek Trek USS Enterprise Construction Set. Since many of you are Star Trek nerds and you should all be LEGO nerds, this is something you should enter.

Four Free iOS Games For the Holidays

Are you looking to buy yourself a Christmas (the commercial holiday, not the religious one) present, but are short on cash? If so, then you’ll be happy to learn that there are four iOS games that are free for a limited time. The first chapter of Walking Dead: The Game is sure to scare you, as well as vex you with some tough decisions. Avengers Initiative is a fun brawler that stars Captain American and The Incredible Hulk. ARC Squadron is a space shooter that boasts some really impressive graphics.

Check out the iTunes descriptions to see how long these games will be free for (or just download them now). If you happen to pick up any of these freebies, please let me know what you think of them in the comments section.
