Everyone at the Mod DB would like to wish you and your family *Happy Holidays* during the festive season as we look back on a great year of gaming and *hopefully* get some much needed rest before 2008 begins. The biggest event on the Mod DB calendar the Mod of the Year Awards has just kicked into top gear following the announcement of the top 100 mods and indie games of 2007. There are 50 new faces in the lineup making this year's awards the hottest yet with many big name mods from 2006 finally releasing.

We recommend you make the most of your vacation and start playing through all the mods you can, because the top titles are all either released or planning to release this holiday season. Here is just a handful from the past 2 months we think you maybe interested in:

• Shockwave 0.95 for C&C Generals
• PARANOIA 1.0 a smash-hit singleplayer Half-Life total conversion
• Empires 2.0 a multi-genre classic for Half-Life 2
• Wilshire Heights an interesting UT2004 uni-project mod
• Forgotten Hope 2.0 an epic Battlefield 2 total conversion
• Fistful of Frags a western themed Half-Life 2 mod
