GAMES OF LIFE >>>>>> MATT BENSON, BRAND MANAGER, UBISOFT
What was the first game you remember playing and enjoying? A game called 3D Deathchaseon the ZX Spectrum, years and years ago. I remember it being really addictive, mainly because it was so challenging. I never did manage to complete it…
What games are you currently enjoying the most? I’ve been having a blast on Battlefield Bad Company 2’smultiplayer, in between sessions on Splinter Cell: Convictionco- op DLC and Split-Second. There’s a lot of
great product out there to get through at the moment. I’ve not even managed to get around to Red Dead Redemption.
Favourite game of all time? This is a tough one as I’ve many different gaming systems and loads of favourites. The one that left the most impact on me is an obscure game called Hired Gunsfor the Amiga back in ’93, made by DMA Design and Psygnosis. It was an RPG/FPS-style game. It’s the first game I ever played in co-op with my brother and two of our mates in a four-player split-screen. It was awesome fun and really left a lasting impression on me.

SON OF A... Please give a warm welcome to Nathan Alexander French, firstborn of MCVeditor Michael and Intent Media subbing queen Helen. The 7lb 4oz youngster has already surpassed his father’s (rather impressive) achievements in such notable fields as missing deadlines, unnecessary dribbling and throwing a wobbly whenever he doesn’t get his way.
