Holiday!
I've been away for two weeks...now back to rather a lot of email to catch up on! That and trying to read about everything that's happened in gaming over the last two weeks, as I've been away in a... Playing around with a man in overalls...
...That's Mario, of course! I casually started playing Super Mario Bros on our DS Lite yesterday, and was instantly hooked. You've just got to love that plumber action! I'm looking forward to... The football, the heartbreak, The Sims...
Well, it's been a couple of days and the pain has subsided a little - watching England go out on penalties (again) to Portugal (again) was almost too much to bear. I don't really care about the red... Competition for UK readers - win a PSP
Hey, it's good to be able to announce (a few days late, admittedly...) that we have another competition running for UK readers to enter. This time the prize on offer is a PSP and a PSP game of your... To Lite or not to Lite...
I want a DS Lite... They came out in the UK today but I've been playing a few games on Guy's imported one for a while. Don't get me wrong, I'm rarely without my PSP (makes my ridiculously long... Videos
I'm addicted to watching the videos that people upload onto GameSpot - this Guitar Hero vid is my current favourite. Guy has his Guitar Hero guitar in the office - he had a crowd the other day as... Denmark, and beyond...
We're kicking off a bit of a mini World Cup here at the UK offices, playing Pro Evo at lunchtime in an organised tournament over the next week or so. I've drawn the mighty Denmark but at the... Nerves are setting in...
It's only a few hours to the big game - the US vs UK edit teams battle it out at football - and I don't know about anyone else but I'm starting to get nervous. As I'm not playing I really have no... Game On!
As you may have seen from the promos at the top of some pages, there's a World Cup battle on Wednesday! Yes, we know the tournament hasn't started yet, but to kick it off in true GameSpot style the... Competition for UK readers
We've got some nice prizes to give away - a £250 Thomson.co.uk travel voucher and copies of City Life (the idea is the winner can buy themselves a city break :) ) for the PC. You've got to be over... Go England :-)
Well, there were some odd choices and setups in the England team last night, but we won! As a Liverpool (and England) fan it was great to see Gerrard and Crouch have such an impact - and a shame to... nearly the weekend!
Somehow another week has sped by and it's the weekend...No plans this weekend so I'm going to have another go at Me and My Katamari on PSP - I'm just not getting on with it yet. GSUK's Phil seems... image
Big thanks to Russ for the header graphic :-) Phew! What a week that was
Well, one more day of E3 and then it's all over - what an amazing week! It's been quite odd being back in the UK and getting up in the morning to update the news page to discover the quite... (Not) leaving on a jet plane
The boys from Blighty are jetting off to E3 tomorrow - LA in the spring, the lucky fellas! (Although I've got a feeling they aren't going to see much daylight while they're there, let alone get a... New compo for UK readers
If you're a UK or EU-based reader and a Football Manager fan, we've got some PSP and Xbox 360 games up for grabs (closing date 17 May) here . Personally I can't wait for the World Cup - although... Brain aged!
Not a brilliant day in the (sunny!) UK as we're having serious issues with Internet connectivity. However, this did give us time to have a play on Guy's new DS Lite and test ourselves with 'Brain... Episodes
Interesting to see that Alone in the Dark has announced a move to the episode style of game structure - Half-Life 2 has already gone the same way. Suits people like me who want to pick up a game,... competitions ahoy
One way to celebrate launching GameSpot UK is to get sick... which is what I managed to do yesterday. Too sick even to play retro Pac Man games on my GBA. Felt better today when I found out that... We're live :-)
Well, the UK version of GameSpot has gone live and seems to be holding up so far. We're reading in the forums about features and content that readers would like to see in future, and taking note of...
