The White House wants to know, is everything OK with the alien space craft from Planet 10 or should we just go ahead and destroy Russia?
Coming soon: The Moneysaver Versus The World Crime League.
Before we get started, interesting development in valueland: the digital distribution service GamersGate just opened a full-blown store through Facebook. From there, users can search or browse games and add them to their carts. Product information and screen shots are viewable, and if you want to let folks know what you're buying or playing, there's a social graph to all of this, being that it's Facebook.
This is an application, as opposed to a page. Check it out here.
