I want to start off by saying a massive thank you to GameSpot, Bioware and EA for this amazing prize.
As some of you may have spotted, last week GameSpot UK ran a competition to find 4 lucky gamers to represent GameSpot and Team UK at the worldwide launch of Bioware's highly anticipated Dragon Age: Origins. I am one of the lucky few to be picked, and along with 3 others will be representing the UK Team as we get to play Dragon Age: Origins before it releases worldwide next month.
The event is being held up in London on Wed 28th - Thurs 29th October, and will see 12 teams from around the world fly in to compete in a 24 hour gaming marathon. Throughout the day teams will be eliminated until the final team will scoop a jackpot of $50,000.
I'm a huge fan of RPGs, particularly from Bioware and have been eagerly awaiting this game since seeing the footage shown off at E3. Coming from the developers of Baldur's Gate, Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect, I am sure we are in for a real treat.
If you want to find out more about the game be sure to check out the Dragon Age: Origins Launch Centre here on GameSpot which features gameplay videos, screenshots, interviews with the developers and of course the forums to discuss it all on.
We will do our best to keep you up to date with our progress and thoughts on the game as we play. So please show some support for Team UK / Team GameSpot by following us on Facebook, Twitter, and of course here on GameSpot.
Finally a personal thank you to Alex, Dan and Jon for making this possible and sorting it all out. Can't wait to get started.
Due to the fact that I am 14 and have no job I have one very important question. I will have enough money to reserve/buy one game but am highly debating which one. My favorite series of all time is Silent Hill but I have heard very little about this new one and have heard it is under a new creator. Too Human is being created by a company that I am not too familiar with but from the videos, interviews, and information I have seen it looks fanominal. I wass just looking for arguments to try to end my frustration about this topic and I would like to see which one of these you guys are anticipating more. That and I havn't posted a blog since I joined in 2006 so I thought it was due time to start.
This is a cautionary tale about prank phone calling: DON'T TELL THEM YOUR NAME!
I used my friends cell phone to call a girl, and I accidently told her my full name. Well, one day later I get a call from a mystery call from a girl telling me to "suck my own balls".
Learn from my mistakes.
