Remind me again why we care what a media personality is paid to say?

thanks for your worthless contribution.

bye

Are you suggesting he isn't paid to say this? I'm not saying the games are bad or anything, but this is paid PR from Microsoft. Celebrity twitter feeds are full of it, companies know it is great way to promote their stuff

Aww, someone's sour.

This applies to Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft/Google and anyone else. What is the point of listening to this particular corporate shill?

Is the well that dry of good news?

Pretty sure this is illegal in the UK.  Advertising Standards dont allow it.

You have to declare your interest.  There was an issue recently with Rio Ferdinand.

Well this took a bit of research but it's an entirely different matter.

It still happens. I follow the England cricket team on twitter and they tweet about certain brands which I am 99% sure pay them.

I don't think the guy was paid to say this. I mean it's not like he's a TV show host or something of the sort, right?

oh.  lol

awesome news.  yet more PR.

Meh, I still agree with your stance. He's a big fan of gaming and regardless of this if he went along to try it out he would have posted his impressions on twitter.

He is on ITV now isnt he?  So he can have it on his show shemlessly.  Brilliant.

I remember he did a voice in fable 3 didnt he?

Yup, lots of famous people in Fable!

I wonder in what capacity he's working with MS, make on a game?! Or Programming, a weekly Xbox tv show.

In spite of the evidence, you're devoted to your position. Not exactly rational.
