The Event: Gamescom 2010 – Day 2

Just to recap, EA have brought me out to Gamescom in Cologne to cover some of their highest profile titles. Some of you will probably think that this is a free holiday and that writing for a few games, a few EA games no less, is a walk in the park. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t easier because I’m doing something that I love, but this is no cakewalk…

The Event: Gamescom 2010 – Day 1

Today was a long day. Having to wake up at quarter to four in the morning and travel across London using a variation of night buses and tubes isn’t a barrel of laughs. But I guess it’s worth it considering EA are paying to take me out to Gamescom and cover some of the highest profile future releases.

I won’t bore you with the flight or my trepidations about strapping into a five tonne dart, using jet turbines to hurtle at ludicrous speeds towards your destination… but needless to say I made it. Arriving at Cologne Airport I met with my fellow reporters for EA and after a swift glass of Cola (I don’t drink Coffee and definitely needed the caffeine) we were on our way to the hotel.
