Changes at GameSpot UK as Cocker departs

MCV Staff 3rd May 2013 Media & PR

Guy Cocker has left GameSpot UK, MCV understands, as part of bigger shifts at the site’s London-based operation.

Parent firm CBS has declined to comment, but we believe a management reorganisation means the UK outfit will now report more directly to its US parent team.

Cocker departed last week.

He has been working at the site for seven years, working his way up from staff writer to features writer in 2007 to editor in 2009.

GameSpot UK was relaunched in the UK with a more dedicated output and bigger local team in 2006.

[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.
