Name: Jon Brady (Yamster to ye SG folks). Country: Scotland (the top bit of the UK). It's not really a country of its own, but we're different enough from everyone below the border. And we're devolved! What do you do on the site? Make the articles a little easier on the brain to read. Or maybe a little harder. I dun do English gud. Consoles Owned: PS3, PSP, Wii, PS2, PSone, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance SP, methinks that's it. Introduce yourself, go! I'm a Scot, but I'm not ginger and I don't like haggis. I have ridiculously stupid hair. I'm at university doing games development, as if that will improve my integrity on this website. Oh, and unlike some other editors, I'm not a massive wimp and will happily put a photo of myself up for your delectation. Or disgust. One or t'other, lad. What do you do in your freetime? Absolutely nothing bar the occasional movie, gaming session with friends or 12,000 mile walk. I also think I can take photographs because I have a nice camera, and I spend a good bit of time drawing adorable little Yamatars for you lot. Oh, and I tweet. A lot. Try and ignore me when I've had a few. Do you wear anything under your kilt? That's for me to know and you to find out when I'm drunk.
It only took a year and a half, but Europe’s playing catch-up with America at long last with the arrival of the Video Store on the PlayStation Network.
Mernmernmernmernmern took bloody long enough. Details over the jump, as per.
Be honest, PSP owners: how often do you use your handheld to play games with your buddies? It’s often far too fussy to set up, game sharing isn’t very widespread and it’s extremely slow, and to be honest I don’t know a lot of people who actually own PSPs in the first place.

Ubisoft were pulling out all the stops at this year’s Eurogamer Expo: along with the astonishing 3D version of Avatar, we were treated to a sizeable chunk of Assassin’s Creed II.
As if that weren’t enough, they even roped in one last minute surprise: Sam Fisher.
We took loads of photos (well, I took a load of photos) at Eurogamer over the course of two absolutely brilliant days. While we still have plenty of things to come over the next couple of days, I figured it’d be cool to share some photos with you so you could see what you missed [...]
Mighty Mutt, Yamster, Krelith and Pillowfort’s debut podcast. With these fine gentlemen behind the wheel what could go wrong? Well, what could go right? Listen as they discuss their hopes for the (then) upcoming Eurogamer Expo. It’s like the Red Show, but with sexier accents.
The sound quality isn’t brilliant on this first one [...]
Heavy Rain, as you may have read yesterday, is shaping up to be a pretty special game. It’s not your typical “gamer’s game”. There are, in the words of the game’s creator David Cage, “no fighting, no zombies, no driving”: it’s a game you play for the sake of the storyline, to share the feelings [...]
What you see there is myself and a man called Charles Martinet. Charles Martinet is a voice actor. If you’ve never heard of him, that’s okay. All you have to know is that he is the voice of Mario, and this makes him one of the coolest people you could ever meet.
Look, he said “Spiderman” [...]
Just three hours into the Eurogamer Expo and things are already looking awesome with a capital-friggin-A. We’ve all just come out of a developer session with Blackrock Studios, the team behind upcoming racer Split/Second. We were treated to an exclusive look at a new track in the game and given a little behind-the-scenes tour of how [...]
Not much to say so far, but we’re here! MightyMutt, Eoco, Krelith, Pillowfort and I are here
in the Old Billingsgate in London for day one of the Eurogamer Expo and we’re off to a flying start.
NB: This should’ve gone up yesterday but I sorta fell asleep before I could put it up. Enjoy regardless!
Guys: STREET FIGHTER. MightyMutt’s winning.
It’s just coming up to 1am in London, and I’m sitting here with MightyMutt, Pillowfort and Krelith in MM’s humble abode having recorded our first podcast (which might hit soon, might not).
Choochoo! Trains don’t make that sort of noise anymore. In fact, the one I’m on at the moment is practically silent. And it tilts in the corners.
Why am I on board such a marvellous contraption? If the header image and the title weren’t much of a giveaway, I’m making my way down the country to [...]
