Neil Ashurst, BEST OF THE ‘FEST
Late last month GAME hosted its yearly GAMEfest conference at Excel in London. Both store staff and the trade mingled at the Kinect-sponsored fancy dress party. Even Sony (above) were there, in expertly put together homemade mocap suits. Warner’s UK games team (top right) seemed to come as ‘smartly-dressed industry professionals’. And whatever we say about the Ubi product managers (above, centre) will probably land us in trouble. Nice wigs, though.

FUTURE’S BEST FIFA PLAYER Xbox 360 World’s Matthew Pellet won the 2010 Future FIFA Cup, beating 63 others for the £100 prize. Where did he spend his winnings – GAME, HMV? Try Ann Summers. Seriously. Leaves much to the imagination, frighteningly.
