Access

PlayStation came to us looking for a videogames magazine unlike any other, and we responded with Access.

Printed on big pages of improved newsprint, Access goes behind the scenes of the videogames industry and looks at the places where gaming meets popular culture. In issue one that means an in-depth story on the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who love first-person shooters; a review of the theatre event that brought Resistance 3 to life; and Tinchy Stryder tells us why he’s finally switched from Pro Evolution Soccer to FIFA.

Available for free at Access events and distributed at freshers’ fairs, shops and bars across the country, it’s bringing a totally fresh perspective on gaming to a town near you.
