OFF THE RECORD
ON YOUR BIKE
Not wanting to suffer the in-flight meal a second time, NCsoft’s Cat Channon and Gamesradar’s Nathan Irvine decided to take a different route home from this year’s Gamescom – by bike. The pair made the 350- mile journey from Cologne to Brighton in under 75 hours. So far they’ve raised

The very first Bluffer’s Guide offers an in-depth but informal look at ECTS, the London-based games trade show.
