Geek Fest

Before working at Sky I wasnt that into video games although did play them a lot as a kid but now I have turned into a big kid (at times anyway)!! Best memories from gaming 20 years ago was the ZX Spectrum and having to wait up to an hour for the game to load via the tape player only for me dodgy power lead getting nudged and resetting the bloody thing having to start all over again!!

Top 10 games I played on there (as there were hundreds..literally)

1) Daley Thompson Super test.
2) Football Manager
3) Jetpac
4) The Great Escape
5) Solomon's key
6) Boulder Dash
7) Jet Set Willy
8) The trap Door
9) Ian Bothem's Test Match
10) Battle of Britain

After the spectrum remember getting a Sega Mega drive for christmas in 1991 where became a massive Sonic fan along with the mighty Golden Axe and Streets of Rage before "converting" to the Super Nintendo with Megaman, Mario kart and Zelda!

Bought an xbox a few years ago and although has taken me a while have finally turned back the years and whenever have free time and playing video games.....yes I know there are a few of you that will read this and think what a sad sack but fuck it...I really dont care :P. Currently addicted to Mass Effect 2 and Fable III is sat waiting for me to finish Mass Effect which is a nice change as have spent the previous 4 months Playing Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas and have FINALLY got bored with them after nearly 150 hours game time for both of them!!

There are a few people at work who have gaming websites for reviews etc, if your into that type of thing check them out:
