While it is certainly true that no Compo is *required* to make a game, no-one can deny that the PGD Annuals do tend to get the creative juices flowing.. just look at the PGD list of games video WILL created last year, how many of the games shown were compo entries?

Also entering a competition does add that little extra incentive to do what most of us find the hardest... finishing the bloody thing ;-)
