I think this is a good idea, would be good if mags and developers do this sort of thing more often. Or do they already?
May fine well go for some MGS, Warhawk and COD5 myself.

Think I'll drop by for a session of Killzone 2 with them in the afternoon and run out for COD5 tomorrow. Show them how it's done. :?

They've probably been practicing on Killzone 2 for weeks now. You will get slaughtered - as would I. Might be a laugh though.

I am surprised how large the maps are on K2! Should make for some tactical battles.

I don't particularly agree with them asking people to join them on a 24 hour gaming binge. To me it's irresponsible (although I have played games for more than that before... WoW when it came out in the US for example and Ragnarok Online). Kids and the mentally challenged nowadays are impressionable little beings and might consider playing 24 hours straight as being A-Ok if mags and journalists are doing it. Even though it's absolute common sense, there should be notes to people to take breaks, not just from the screen, but for food/drink, sleepsies, stretchies of the legsies, etc. And clear breaks should be made between the list of games being played.

After all, OPM wouldn't want to be linked with the premature death of a child who's face has imploded from all the pretty PS3 colours.

(And yes some people may question why a child would be playing this but then let's be honest... THERE WILL BE KIDS PLAYING IT )

:THUMBSUP:

On second thoughts, I don't actually care. :lol:
