Patrick Garratt launches videogaming247.com
UK, February 1 2008
Patrick Garratt today announces the launch of videogaming247.com, a brand new gaming news website.
Bridging the gap between information-hungry consumers, early adopters and trade users, videogaming247.com focuses solely on global gaming news. The site provides a clutter-free environment for getting the right information to the people that need it, day in, day out.
"Launching this site is incredibly exciting for me," said Patrick Garratt. "I believe videogaming247.com will plug an obvious gap in the UK games editorial market, skirting a depressing trend in me-tooist website releases from Britain's content publishers in recent years. If you're a dedicated consumer or member of the games trade and you're sick of candy-sweet editorial, late news and naïve industry views, videogaming247.com will quickly become a staple of your bookmark list.
"This website is about nothing other than gaming news for people that either need or want it."
