Rampages Gaming Highlights from 2009.
Treble T:
I gotta say this year's been a GREAT year for gaming, I've had a good time and some real memorable occasions this year reviewing games and quite a few spring to mind like previewing Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympic games. The Bob sled with four people on the Wii is hilarious, trying to get everyone to lean in the right direction is harder than it sounds.
Funnily enough going to interview Phil"The power Taylor" for PDC Darts on the Wii was quite interesting as they had girls from Nuts magazine wearing next to nothing which will always add spice to any interview if you ask me. I gotta give major props to the guys at Rockstar. They invited us over for an exclusive preview of Grand Theft Auto and Beaterator. We ate Chinese and chilled all afternoon playing on their massive screen and really got to grips with the games.
The preview for James Camerons Avatar game was amazing we looked at it on a brand new JVC 3D TV and Im telling you I kept trying to grab the characters from the game. And the little vehicles look like toys. Flipping brilliant!
Early on in the year I hosted a celebrity Street Fighter tournament in London with peeps like Wretch 32,Tom Deacon from ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ3, Roll Deep and JME. Mike got knocked out real quick but JME is actually a bad man on Street Fighter(He won).
Sway beating Kano at Forza 3 and cussing him on air was flippin funny and Shola Ama's super competitiveness on DJ Hero was a sight to behold.
Last but not least the mega launch of Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2 was quite literally the biggest most glitzy,glamourous game launch I have ever been to in my whole life. Lethal B, Goldie, Avid Merrion, Taboo from Black eyed peas, Vernon Kaye and loads more stars all turned up for this one. Had a laugh with Carlton Cole and watched Dizzee perform at the after party. My goodness how big was that ? Massive! That's how big. Phew... after all that all I can say is bring on 2010!! What about you Mike?

Looking back at 2009 fills me with some pride. Launching the Blog was an amazing achievement, with Rio Ferdinand and then we had a 'Gaming Week' on both Radio 1 & 1xtra which endorsed all the great things that have happened this year in the gaming industry.
Being apart of 'The Golden Joysticks Awards' was also amazing! 1.2 million Voted for the Rampage 'Best Game Soundtrack'
We didn't just give an award away.....we had to DJ to the entire gaming community. They know how to party trust me. Treble T definitely highlighted a lot of gaming bits but left out Dee Thresher EA Sports Active on the Wii.....you need to see the Rampage crew LAGGING!!! Check the Blog people. Here's to bringing you all the latest Games and Gadgets in 2010!! In a bigger way than ever.. Watch this space ...Happy New Year to one and all!!! (Including all the gaming geeks like myself)
