Hi all, just a quick post to say G'Day on my first day at GameSpot UK!

The name is Luke Anderson (not to be confused with Lark Anderson) and I hail from CNET Networks' Sydney office where I worked on our sister publication ZDNet Australia. While one can't beat the climate and Down Under way of life, in the end I gave in to the chance to work at GameSpot and experience the European life.

Since celebrating Christmas in the balmy Perth summer, I'm gradually becoming acclimatised to the frigid cold of an English winter (....well it might take longer than a few days!)

I was fortunate enough to have an extended break over Christmas and managed to play some new games during that time, including Super Mario Galaxy, Orange Box, Guitar Hero III, Bioshock, Halo 3 and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga.

I've also picked up a copy of Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect and Call of Duty 4 to add to my stockpile, but haven't had a chance to get stuck into them yet (all of which should keep me busy for a bit ... hopefully until GTAIV is finally released).

On GameSpot I'll be tackling a range of content including previews, features, news, video, blogs, and, of course, the UK podcast (starting with a cameo on this week's episode ... be sure to tune in!).

Enjoy the rest of the holiday period (if you're not back at work already). Finally, I thought I'd finish with a question: What's been your favourite game this Christmas?
