We're going to flip through the December 2003 issue of Nintendo power,

IGN and Rogue Games, the publisher road games are partnering to produce Rogue Jam, a brand new game jam.

That's offering exclusive development deals along with $800,000 in total prizes.

Matt Casamacina, a name you may have heard, and Levi Buchanan, both work at Rogue Games now.
