A gaming expo run by a magazine? For gamers AND press? If this all sounds slightly suspect do not fear as this year Eurogamer, vast all-seeing eye of the gaming press, repeated and expanded on last year's successful event to bring the Eurogamer Expo to both London and Leeds. Featuring just as many already released titles as there were hot future prospects, the Eurogamer Expo catered to everyone regardless of their involvement in the videogame industry. There was also a careers fair, featuring many well-known publishers and developers (more on that later) as part of a dual effort between Eurogamer and GamesIndustry. It seems Eurogamer Expo has everything for everyone, but what really matters are the titles so after nicking some free drinks we took a wander down the stairs onto the main floor.

Wolfenstein 3D was the original first-person shooter that would go on to influence some truly iconic titles over the years, including Halo, Call of Duty, Battlefield and of course developer ID's very own Doom series. Like a digruntled old war veteran, Wolfenstein has re-surfaced to show the rest of these young pretenders how it's done. However, while it doesn't actually re-invent the wheel or re-claim its place as king of the genre, it is an exceptional shooter, solid in its design and offering many hours of no-nonsense shoot-em-up action.
