Lets See if i can get a Sony Press Pass

In trying to find out why Blast Factor and Echochrome still have not had thier updates in the UK, i went looking at the sony press area on thier webiste.
there is a section to sign up to press alerts. i'm going to try singing up, and of course if i'm successful i'll relay any news that i'm allowed to.
and if i'm not successful, of course i'm going to mention that as well....

and i havn't given up trying to find out when Blast Factor and Echochrome, cause i like those games and would like the trophy patch to come out.

"Classic" Game Covers

Not news, but great to look at. Kotaku has found someone who's re-interpreted game covers into retro styles.
one of my faviote is Mirrors Edge, soo simple, but soo accurate at the same time.
So Head over and have a look. it's really cool.

Sega Mega Drive: Ultimate Collection - My First Attempt at contacting the industry.

For the twitter feed, i had a plan to try and get some "scoop" information regarding the Sega Mega Drive: Ultimate Collection.
i sent a few questions to a Sega EU Rep, stating also that i wanted to use the answers as a way to help promote their game and the twitter account.
Unfortunately, i never had a reply from them which also meant that the planned "Scoop" launch for the twitter account never happened.

Lets hope future involvement with PR is better than that, lol.

First Of Many

Hello all, present and now.
Things look a bit bare at the moment, but over time i aim to develop this, as well as the twitter QTE, into something significant.
i am one person, so at times updating may be difficult, but please bare with me.

The aim of this blog is to offer greater news than our twitter feed provides, for those that want it, but to also offer a more personal view. if i'm playing a game and just love it i will say so and fully encourage you to comment and offer your views and support.
In the begining, it may also have thoughts on starting at site like this and managing the twitter site. difficulties in getting info, exclusives, pictures...etc...etc

The twitter can be found at http://twitter.com/QTE
