Glad to hear!
It's amazing what a phone call will do. It's also worth noting that (IMO) a phone call is a lot more personal than an e-mail. It attaches a voice to a name, and, hopefully, that means they'll be more eager to work with you,
You have to do your job.
If that means calling, then so be it. Technically, it's their job to correspond with the media, and them not returning your e-mails reflects poorly on them. They could be too busy, or there's also the real possibility that…
Just take it in stride.
You're there to be abused by assholes with no self-esteem who love to vent on the Internet
Plus your co-worker is a douche bag.
No problem!
Interesting. I thought Activision did all their PR in-house. I'll have to take a look into that.
Thanks!
I managed to contact Neil Wood at Step-3. He's the PR lead for Modern Warfare 2, and was able to receive a review copy for my site.
It's a magazine called College News.
Free subscription or you can grab a copy of it if you go to a fairly large university.

It really is. What mag is it going to be in so I can watch out for it?
Yeah, I've left them a number of voice mails. No one at Activision ever picks up their phone. Ever.
Thanks for the congrats! It's a big opportunity for me and I was really hoping to use MW2 to headline it. DJ Hero isn't a bad alternative though; it…
Did you try calling them?
I find it odd that they wouldn't get back to you for such a prominent story (congrats on that by the way) but it does help sometimes to call. It's harder to ignore someone talking on the phone then it is to delete an email.
No luck using the Games Press.com PR listing?
Just out of curiosity, has anyone had any luck working with these guys?
I'm a little perplexed to be honest. I had the cover story for a nationally distributed magazine (over 1 million readers) open for Modern Warfare 2, and their PR people didn't…
I haven't had a chance to do free gaming in like two months. Seriously.
I'd love to sit down and play Aion for a weekend, but I have six other games that need to be reviewed first. Including a Scooby Doo game for the Nintendo Wii. And DS.

5 Video Games that Need Sequels
Published this for The Exploding Barrel last month -thought it was worth sharing though with you guys!
It’s really no secret that the video game industry (and more specifically its fans) love video game sequels; understandably so. When you get a game as distinctly badass as God of War or as addictive and fun as Super Smash Brothers, it only makes sense that you would want more and more and more. After all, more of a good thing is never bad, correct? For the most part, that sentiment rings true,… Continue

Glad you found my advice helpful. I've only been doing this for a little while, (games journalism) but I've been working as a reporter for a couple years now. It's not too difficult really. I'm in the process of working a gig with Play magazine right now, actually, so I'm pretty damn excited about that Do you cover games for all the websites and pubs you write for? Good to meet you, man!
