Better with friends

If you haven't experienced Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies in its multiplayer mode, you're missing out. UK residents keen to leap into the game's social side can do so at selected HMV Gamerbase stores in collaboration with Nintendo of Europe.

The first event was in Edinburgh last night, with the tour taking in Glasgow, London, Reading and Birmingham over the coming days. The full event list is below.
