 [NOTE: The Dobbs Challenge ended on June 13th, and winners are now available!!]
Welcome to the first ever Dr. Dobb's Challenge, a special game competition brought to you in association with the world-renowned Dr. Dobb's Journal for software developers and Microsoft.
- Firstly download our specially created "Dr. Dobb's Challenge' games for either Windows and Windows Mobile.
- Then you can win from a prize pool of $10,000 by modifying the games using a trial version of Visual Studio 2008.
 The games star the personification of Dr. Dobb's, alongside the characters from Microsoft's famous 'Defy All Challenges' machinima videos, as you battle to collect Visual Studio icons and complete the levels.
Full source code and art for the games are freely provided for programmers to 'mod' the results and win prizes.
Use your creative side to make fiendish and cool new games - change the mechanics, add new levels, even change the entire game genre - using the power of Visual Studio 2008, and win thousands of dollars doing it! Here's all you need to know to participate.

In our third selection of Critic's Choice mods, we've got a great selection of new Dr. Dobbs derivatives to enjoy, including a mod that turns the title into a unique new puzzle game with falling dominoes, and a top-down explorathon for those of you lucky enough to have a Windows Mobile device to play it on!
In this second selection of the best entries that we've recieved, some of the hit games that we featured after our first month challenge return, with Dobbs Derby II and Badly Drawn Robots II, for example, both superb evolutions on the original games.
You should hopefully have had a chance to try our selection of winners that we released yesterday, so there's no reason to not try our many, many excellent other entries! We'll be outlining our favourites of the other entries over the next few days, but here's our first selection -- including a dodgeball game and a game produced by a father and son team!
