THIS WEEK coming straight out of SOUTH LONDON from the GAMESPOT UK OFFICES ... we have ...

• A preview of E3 from the handsome gents and ladies from the Gamespot UK offices - Interesting fact - not all of the people in this video actually work for Gamespot, as some people commenting on the video are assuming. Good lord, I wish we had that many people to help us make these shows each week. Most of the people here work for CBS Interactive, Gamespot's mother company, doing jobs as wide and varied as CNET.co.uk Chief Sub (Nick Hide), Senior Marketing Exec (Shelley John), and Infrastructure Manager (Simon Edwards). Drew Stearne's job title is actually Hairy Scotsman, though. An important addition to any modern office.
• A Virtua Tennis 2009 Hands On Preview - remember Super Tennis on the SNES? That was the last tennis game I really loved.
• There's also a rather awesome look at new PS3 music video streaming service VidZone, which allowed me the pleasant task of editing Beyonce videos for most the afternoon.
• Then of course there's this week's episode of Start/Select, where you can watch all of the above, along with cheeky Guy Cocker handsomely tieing the lot together and offering you some free copies of Virtua Tennis 2009.

Before I part this blog post, it would be remiss of me not to blow my own trumpet for a moment by pointing out that making this week's show very nearly destroyed my sanity. Come Thursday morning, not one frame of the show had been edited, and a combination of the large amount of footage to edit and a series of insanely frustrating technical gremlins meant that I worked pretty much solidly through to about 9pm on Friday night to get everything ready.

Happy trails, dear readers!
