Five respected figures from the trade are in the running for our Retail Advisory Board’s Special Recognition Award this year.

The award, voted for solely by our Advisory Board of key retail execs, acknowledges the people that work closely with the trade – and singles them out for their key achievements in the business in the last year and throughout their career.

The six people in the running this year are:

– Rosemary Buahin (SCE UK)

– Martin Defries (Rising Star Games)

– Darren Houghton (Gem)

– Paul Oughton (Bethesda)

– Ralph Pitt-Stanley (505 Games)

[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.
