GAME summit WAS positive, insists suppliers
Hi Joseph and Kevin, I can assure you GAME had nothing to do with this story. And it is certainly relevant. However, the story was originally written for the magazine, which went to press before the Mass Effect 3/Mario Party 9 incidents. So I've just updated it to make it a little more relevant.

HMV slams 'idiotic' offshore tax dodging
I have to disagree with you there Allan. HMV have always been against the tax loophole, even when they opened their online operation out there. They pretty much had to do it to stand a chance of competing with Play/Amazon etc. In an ideal world, HMV would rather have opened in the UK. It's what Simon said in our full interview, which you can read in the magazine and goes up online shortly.

HMV slams 'idiotic' offshore tax dodging
He does do the same, Paul. HMV's website is based offshore. But the position of the retailer is that everyone should compete on an equal footing. Personally, I think it's ridiculous that online retailers order stock in the UK, ship it out of the UK, only to send it back to the UK. Think of the environment.

OPINION: Call of Duty remains top dog
Regardless of quality (they are both excellent franchises) and gameplay differences, Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 do look aesthetically similar, in marketing and visuals.

Borderlands 2 officially announced
Gearbox is the developer and 2K is the publisher. Both are working on the game. As a retail facing website, we often lead with the publisher as it is the business that retailers deal with on a daily basis.
