Moving into the week, this is a happily eclectic set of GameSetLinks, I do believe, headed by some nice ideas from the Tale Of Tales folks about how to promote their upcoming short-form PC game, The Path.

Also hanging out in here somewhere or other - a great new free indie game soundtrack label, as well as a Battlefield: Bad Company critique of note, discussion of the fast-leveling insanity of the new World Of Warcraft offer, and a great deal of other design and gameplay-centric links.

Woo hah:
