Well its taken me over a week to sit down and write this, but it is finally my pleasure to bring to you my report from the first London Gaming Con, which I attended with fellow PlusXP members Garvaos and GuitarGirl, and contributor RandomMan. Running between the 4th and 5th December, this convention took place in the Rocket complex in North London. It’s fair to say it was quite the success, with hundreds of guests coming through the Rocket’s large [...]
Gaming is a beautiful thing; it allows you to see the most beautiful worlds, witness stories, characters and events you couldn’t see anywhere else, and it’s still evolving, day by day. Some of the better moments when gaming have always been with the people you care about most, whether it be with your family, your friends, or someone special to you in some way.

The day long event will be taking place at Westminsters’ Park Plaza hotel and there will be some great games at the event both winning awards and being previewed to the media.

It’s funny how the internet is pretty much a needed necessity these days. Almost anything you need is on the internet. Shopping, Banking, friends, hell if they came up with some way of creating an internet version of the toilet and a well stocked fridge, most gamers these days won’t need to leave their rooms. This week for me has been internet-less, and will be for a little while. Real life has decided to kick in and I have been moving into a [...]
Throughout my time being on the internet I have been to my fair share of gaming forums. Back in 2003 the very first gaming forum I was on was a forum called Killer and Pelican Sam’s Gaming Forum. Was a really nice community. Back then I was hanging around the net with my mate from school who went by the alias Ace Bloke. (bit egotistical but hey) That forum was great. The guy who co owned the forum who went by the [...]
