  Children In Need Gamenight

  Charitable Gamespotters,

  As part of Children in Need, Citizen Game staffers (and some close friends) will be playing a video games marathon on November 20th in aid of Children In Need (and because we'd probably be doing it anyway!). We'll be taking over a film studio in central London for the night, and invite you guys to join us online.

  Alternatively, get involved here as we're going to broadcast the event LIVE on my website with photos and articles available in the days following.

  In case you're not aware, Children in Need is a UK charity that has been running since 1980. In that time it has raised £500,000,000 for disadvantaged, disabled and abused children in the UK. We hope, in some small way, to contribute to their worthy cause this year.

  We also encourage you guys to get involved and raise awareness by playing with us that night via Xbox Live or the Playstation Network. If you're interested, check out the details here.

  Please don't worry if you cannot afford to spare anything, these are hardly the most affluent of times, but anything you can spare to give will go towards a great charity.

  Thank you for your charity and support.

  Now lets raise some money!

  Whats Danny Doing #1

  Hello and welcome to my new blog thing where I post links to stuff I've been doing. Cool eh? Well probably not, but I hate people thinking I'm being lazy. Over the past few weeks I've been populating Gamespot and my own site with videos, reviews and undefinables, so here are a choice selection of content I've produced this month across the internets!

  Canabalt Review: (Gamespot User Review)
  Cheap & Cheerfull iPhone Game

  EDGE Review: (Cant Find it on Gamespots Database)
  Great Little iPhone game.

  GTA4: Ballad of Gay Tony Playtests (Video)
  - Multiplayer Playtest
  - Singleplayer Playtest

  Operation Flashpoint Playtest (Video)
  - Part #1
  - Part #2

  Newspaper Advertisment (The Times)
  My first mass-media graphic design is going in the Times on November 14th.

  Trailer Watch (only the best and worse make it)
  - Jailbait Hero

  Citizen Soapbox (our weekly user discussion groups)
  - Mobile-Phone Games
  - Spooky Games

  Citizen Gamecast (Eurogamer Episode)
  With brand new music, and in keeping with CG on-location podcasts, we were pretty hammered.

  We also covered the Golden Joystick Awards and the Eurogamer Expo in central London last weekend (thats me interviewing Gamespotter Joseph Barron). Expect video for that in 'Whats Danny Doing #2".

  In terms of games I've been playing the awesome Brutal Legend, Fifa 10, Operation Flashpoint 2, some great iPhone and Indy games (pick up Osmos on Steam if you have a few quid lying around).

  Hope you guys are all keeping well in the run up to Jesus Day. What have you guys been up to? What you been playing?

  Citizen Game Returns

  

  
  My labour of love went live a few hours ago. www.citizengame.co.uk
  
  I've spent the past 4 months developing the site in our new location in London with a fantastic group of guys. I spent a long time brainstorming about the aspects of games websites, and games journalism that I feel are odds with the common gamer. The PR/Newswire cycle that ends when the game hits shelves, the lack of entertainment in an entertainment medium, and a lot more.

  This is my attempt at what games websites should be, or at least what I can get away with, with a team of freelance contributers with fulltime jobs. Weekly videos, the return our weekly podcast (new format), articles from some of the best games writers in the UK and loads more.

  Apparently I'm one of the most visited and followed users on all of Gamespot. In the 3 years on this site I've written articles, shot videos and covered foreign events from this humble blog. If you think my content was worth your time on Gamespot, I'd love for you to see whats coming up on on CG. It's a geniune attempt at creating a better type of games media.

  Join the revolution

  Danny
