While the news has yet to be posted as of this writing on the official Child's Play web site, the organizers of the gaming-oriented charity have announced that they have already reached the $1 million mark in donations of cash, games and toys to over 70 children's hospitals worldwide.

Next week the charity's annual auction takes place in Seattle but if you though you still had a chance of getting a ticket, wait until next year. All of the tickets for the auction, which will sell off one-of-a-kind game items from a number of game developers, have been spoken for. At the moment Child's Play looks like it will surpass last year's $1.4 million record in donations.
