Uruguay Gamer has published the links to the videos recorded during the closing ceremony of the third annual domestic constest of videogame development held in Uruguay.
On the site you will also find the comments of Chaim Gingold for each videogame.
Note: The presenter in both videos is Gonzalo Frasca, CEO of Powerful Robot Games (one of the most-known uruguayan videogame companies) and main organizer of the compo.
Here's video 1 (the one receiving the first prize is me):
And here's video 2 (here you can see Frank Baxter -ambassador of US in Uruguay- congratulating the grand winner and at the end of the video you will find Chain Gimgold himself):
Enjoy!

My PC game "The Riegel Battle" (created with XNA GS) has been today awarded first prize in the category "Best 3D Videogame Promise" during the third annual domestic videogame contest in Uruguay.
Even though it wasn't awarded first prize for the whole compo, as a local supporter of XNA, it was a great honor for me to be among the winners.
Along with the organizers, the contest was sponsored by the US Embassy in Uruguay, so ambassador F. Baxter was present today in the closing ceremony to congratulate the winners.
Chaim Gingold (one of the designers of the game Spore) was one of the judges, and it was also present today in the above-mentioned ceremony, not only as a judge but to speak about the design concepts behind Spore's character editor (a great talk, btw).
Here's a video of my entry:
As soon as I get the links to the official pictures of today's ceremony I'll publish them here.
Cheers!
