PICTURES: GamesAid’s Cologne to Brighton bike ride

MCV Staff 22nd August 2014 Event News

Members of the games industry cycling from Gamescom in Cologne back to Brighton have raised over 4,500 for GamesAid.

It took the team four days to reach Brighton, passing through the Netherlands, Belgium and France along the way.

In total they rode 337 miles over 29 hours and thirty minutes and climbed 3,223 metres (almost 2.5 times the height of Ben Nevis).

And they consumed 13,215 calories (the equivalent of 55 Mars bars or 15 quarter pounder with cheese meals meals we are reliably informed).

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
