Confessions of a Legionnaire - A #BFBC2 Legion of...
The sun shone brightly, a gentle breeze fluttering the leaves above me. Snow crunched beneath my boots and the blue hues glinting all around left me cold, the M-14 in my hands feeling even more real as I scanned the horizon of Port Valdez. I spiked my buddy with an ammo crate as I spouted into the mic with a grin, “just keep spamming those candygrams (our lingo for motion mines).”...

#PAX 2011 - Bethesda and onward
I have started my journey with Bethesda, who are showcasing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Rage and Prey. The lines are huge but the games are worth it. An amazing dragon display towers over Skyrim, its detail is beautiful. The staff are passing around felt masks with horns in honor of its hero, Dragonborn. The anticipation is high and I can’t wait for some hands-on time with Skyrim, who...

The person behind the voice of the female Shepard in all three Mass Effect games is also responsible for Metal Gear’s Naomi Hunter, SOCOM’s HQ, and even the grunts and groans of Metroid Prime’s Samus. And of course her spookily good British accent as KotOR’s Bastilla. Amongst literally hundreds...
