Making the magic happen
Inspired by Aaron's tour of the GameSpot US offices, I decided to take a camera and capture rare shots of the GameSpot UK team in its natural environment. Overlooking the Tower of London, the... X06 reflections from home
X06 is over, and so are my previews. On the first night, I played FIFA 07 followed by the latest Pro Evolution Soccer , and then the next day I sneaked into the demo area early to get a first... X06 Highlights
I'm currently knee-deep in preview write-ups, but here are some of the highlights from X06. For all the photos, check out my Flickr gallery . More updates to come... Er, I guess this is X06... Hola X06!
I've just arrived in Barcelona for this year's X06, an annual event in which Microsoft unloads a dump-truck of excitement onto the assembled gaming throng. It's not actually kicking off for... Apple iPod Games Launch
An entire industry exists around creating Apple rumours, and one of the strongest was that the company would soon be joining the games industry . With an Apple-Nintendo merger set to remain the... Video Selecta
As a huge fan of music videos, I hate the fact that British terrestrial TV only has The Hits and TMF , both of which are filled with immediately disposable teenybop trash. Even worse, the 'Top... Egopedia
I have no idea how I'd have coped before the internet. My contact with the outside world takes place solely over instant messenger and e-mail. Anytime I need a piece of information, I head on over... Talkman Video Review
The audio-visual technology at GameSpot UK's disposal is mindblowing. Unfortunately, my ineptitude at using these resources is almost as staggering. Still, thanks to Chris Stevens ' camera work, I... Dark Messiah of Might & Magic Multiplayer Hands-On
I recently had the privilege of playing a few games of Dark Messiah of Might & Magic in multiplayer. You can read the full preview on the main site, and here are my impressions of this... Summer party overdose
After starting and then sticking to a fairly intensive fitness regime, I finally succumbed to the London party circuit this week. I went out pretty much every night. The only downsides were the... Scarborough>>>London
Contrary to popular opinion, British weather really can be very pleasant around this time of year, and the socially acceptable thing to do is get out there and enjoy it. I live in London, where... Can Talkman help you score with foreigners?
When I met up with Sony a couple of months ago, they told me about a couple of upcoming games that really piqued my interest. The first was LocoRoco , which was every bit as good as I'd hoped.... GameSpot UK's Pro Evolution Soccer World Cup
It's World Cup-tastic here at GameSpot UK , and to celebrate, we've been hosting our own tournament via Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 5 . 16 people from CNET Networks' UK office have been... LocoRoco arrives!
Since seeing LocoRoco at this year's E3, it's been at the top of my most wanted list. Sure, I'm excited about Assassin's Creed and Gears of War , but this cute Japanese puzzle game is like a... World Cup Grudge Match
Well, we invite the US team to a friendly game of FIFA and look what happens. It turns into a 'grudge match' where the national loyalties of Justin 'soccer' Calvert are called into question. He's... SingStar Rocks!
Hello you! First of all, apologies for the belated follow-up to my E3 blog. The flight home killed me, and after the madness that was E3 itself, I needed a couple of weeks to get back to normal.... E3 Diary - Monday 8th May
First of all, apologies for the poor lighting - I was squinting so much in the light it looked like I'd just seen John Prescott in the nude, so I settled for the shade of the car park. So while... The GameSpot UK E3 Diet
E3 can overwhelm anyone, even hardened journalists such as ourselves. Being situated a stone's throw from the PS3 and Nintendo booths but unable to see what's inside, we managed to last two... That Marriott hotel dancing in full
For those that aren't keeping tabs on the main E3 blog , here's that video of me dancing in the Hotel Marriott last night. We're staying in the hotel that was used for the Fatboy Slim 'Weapon of... GameSpot UK arrives at E3 2006
E3 2006 hasn't kicked off officially, but the biggest games show in the world has already begun for us. I'm writing from inside the beating heart of the GameSpot operation, peering out of...
