The first XtreamLua/Gx-MOD Lua contest held last December by sites XtreamLua.com and Gx-MOD.com was considered a big success, so the two teamed up again to bring us XtreamLua/Gx-MOD contest 2007. Developers sent in their homebrew games and applications for the PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo DS. Gx-MOD has provided the prizes this time around: 125 EUR for the first placer, 75 EUR for the second placer, and the third placer gets a UMD of GTA: Vice City Stories.
We're giving you the first batch of the contest finalists, so check them out and see how these homebrew games play for you.
