Check out one of the most prominent game development companies? Free trip to Las Vegas? Free stay at the Luxor (the pyramid)? You bet!

WWMC - Westwood Mod College
Among other game modification teams, the Reaction team was invited to send down one or two team members to Westwood's main studio in Las Vegas, Nevada. After some discussion, I was fortunate to go along with Spyder, one of our mappers. It wasn't a long trip - just a couple of days and back to check out the then-upcoming C&C Renegade. Despite what you may think about the game, it was an excellent experience and dip into the computer game industry. Needless to say, the people at Westwood are very friendly and generous. They definitely know how to entertain a full house!
