Happy Holidays!
In an ongoing tradition of doing something for the fanbase over the Holiday season, BioWare has released a small Facebook game to spread Christmas cheer AND raise some money for Child's Play. It is an action-arcade game where you drive a Yeti around a Christmas village "delivering" presents to all the terrified little boys and girls and "help" Santa.
We call it the
Gift of the YetiHow do you play?

Will this game be available anywhere else besides facebook? I do not have an account.
Fun game. Wish there was a way to extend the time limit, though (or if there is, I haven't discovered it yet).

Is GIFT OF THE YETI the new announcement he was talking about or is there more coming? DA:O expansion announcement please!
Oh no, this little ball of Christmas cheer has nothing to do with the plans Fernando is talking about.

Game of the Yeti 2009.
Bioware and Child's Play together? It's combining two of my favourite things!
So very sold on playing the hell out of this when I get a chance.

Look, I'm not trying to advocate anything extreme like murder, but I'm sure that the Prime Minister would be happy to hear of your plans for this weekend, should you need [strike]an alibi[/strike] to kill [strike]him[/strike] a little time.
For a children's charity, no less!
Ha ha ha ha ha...
... and yet I struggle to get more than 40-50k in later attempts.
Truly beginner's luck.
Totally. It's all about timing and a bit of luck, but stringing together a long enough combo is the difference between struggling to get to 70k, and pushing 130k like I just did now.
Edit; that said, more time spent playing leads me to believe that anyone who got 351k is a gift delivery'ing machine from the future.
No really though, this game is pretty great for a facebook game. It is surprisingly polished and delightful while not at all that time consuming. I kinda wanna "support" this game not because it means more games like this will come out for Facebook (which is a good way to wrest control from Mafia Wars and other dumb web games) but it also helps out Child's Play.
I find it quite hilarious and enjoyed the plight of the heiress.
