Firstly, for those who are off to buy Peppa Pig this morning for their loved ones your going to have wait an extra hour as GAME and Gamestations will be having a early morning meeting!
A statement has been given out by the company saying that they will be shaking up their staff’s working hours, hopefully not physically because I’m sure that’s pretty illegal. The good old statement follows!
“We continually review the sales patterns across our entire store portfolio to make sure that we have the right number of people in place to serve customers throughout the day,” said the company in a statement.
“Today we have held meetings with the teams in our stores to discuss ways that each store can better serve the customers in their local area, including a review of staff rotas and shift patterns. We are very focused on supporting our teams, and thank them for their continued hard work and understanding.”
We just hope that no-one looses their job unfairly or working hours somehow disappear down the toilet.

It seems the UK population have been able to relate to the terrible weather which is shown in the PS3’s exclusive game Heavy Rain. Apparently 6” of rain dropped within the 24hrs of it being released allowing it to surface to the UK number 1 spot! Nice work.
After Alien Versus Predator 2 shocked many at XG 247 last week by dominating titles such as Bioshock 2, Dantes Inferno and yes believe it or not Just Dance……. it appears Heavy Rain the much anticipated PS3 release claimed the weekly chart crown and made Aliens Vs Predator stay at the top very brief. Ever since Eurogamer 2009 the XG 247 staff have been waiting for this title’s release and even the 360, Wii followers amongst us were excited to the see how the game would perform. The review will be up shortly but until then click on the break to see screenshots and gameplay trailer.
