Archive: E3 2009 Previews / GamesMaster
The August 2009 issue of GamesMaster magazine was its “Hands-on E3 Special” and I was those hands – quite literally, too, because loads of the “hands-on” boxes in this issue are written by me – even if I didn’t write the rest of the article.
So a slightly odd way of doing things, but if you’ve got this issue, I wrote the full previews for Milo and Kate, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, APB, Halo: ODST and Red Steel 2.
Meanwhile, I wrote just the hands-on boxes for Forza Motorsport 3, Blur, Split/Second, Gran Turismo PSP, Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Mini Ninjas, Army of Two: The 40th Day, Heavy Rain and Splinter Cell: Conviction.

I keep forgetting that I write this column. Unfortunate, really, considering it’s such a lovely magazine (in terms of design; being in Danish I still can’t read a jot of it.)
I had an absolutely great
As usual my coverage of my Edge, er, coverage here is uploaded months late because I almost never manage to get my hands on the issues I’m in here in Canada. So although I mentioned my Gamasutra coverage of the Montreal International Game Summit months promptly (
In this article I talk about Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
This article – my first back on the job -was titled, quite simply, “Leipzig sucks”. It’s a very self indulgent article – after all, it’s almost entirely me complaining about how complicated it is to get to Leipzig, and then complaining about Leipzig (the town, which I notably call “little more than a train station between real places.”)
This article amuses me! I try list all the postives I can think about Sony’s record with the PS3 – remember this was in November 2007 – and, roughly, can come up with one – their commitment to excellent independent games like Everyday Shooter on the PSN.
