G3 2009 - Games Guns Giving
Friday September 25th 2009
Clay pigeon shooting is safe, easy, exciting and a lot of fun. It involves being outside, making lots of noise and breaking things. What's not to love?
Beginners, shooting instinctively, often have the edge on the old hands who think too much. Women tend to shoot better than men - though no men ever admit it!
Test your skills with real guns under the close supervision and coaching of experienced professional instructors. Will all that time on the d-pad count for anything? Are your reflexes what you think they are?
The G3 event is open to individuals and teams of up to 5 people. For more information please visit: www.gamesgunsgiving.com.
To reserve individual places or enter a team in G3, please email joel.benton@ddmagents.com
For all sponsorship opportunities, please call Joel Benton on +44 (0)7973 718094 or email joel.benton@ddmagents.com
Sponsorship opportunities abound. Please give generously. G3 is an annual videogames industry event regularly attended by over 80 industry professionals who together have so far raised £14,235.81. Please help us beat that total in 2009.

PS3 Attitude - Skydiving August 31st 2008
PS3 Attitude have taken inspiration from one of the PlayStation Network casual games and decided it was about time they did Sky Diving for real!
On August 31st 2008 the people behind PS3 Attitude, plus a carefully selected crew of gamers and development industry contacts, will leap out of a plane at around 13,000 feet. Fortunately, each person will be connected to one of the Royal Marines at Aldershot that have graciously offered their time and experience to the cause.
Throughout May and the early part of June, PS3 Attitude will be running a 'call for jumpers' that will decide the final group taking part in the event. PS3 Attitude and the entire jump crew will then be running fund raising activities across June, July and August until the day of the event, which will be recorded for their readers to enjoy in the following weeks.
