PUTTING THE DEAD IN DEADLINE
Time’s up for our media assassins. We’ll be totting up the final scores and bringing you the winners of our Media league next week, but it’ll take a special kind of killer to top the score of Future’s Iain Wilson: a whopping 4.7 million points. Wilson and other deadly media professionals will be back in December as we seek the UK games industry’s deadliest assassin.
