Hi I'm John Olin, I run a site called Xbox Evolved (http://www.xboxevolved.com)
I also attended the event, and when I first got there, I met Mr. Geoff, and at first it didn't click about who he was--then I asked him--"Is your site the one that has stuff about the author of the Godfather books also?" and when he said yes I couldn't believe it! I had visited this site before being a fan, but couldn't believe I would meet the guy who ran it. Anyways, Geoff is a nice guy, in fact I ran out of cigarettes and he gave me a pack (because God knows I would have to put a pack on layaway out there).
ANyways it is a good game. I am working on two other articles about the game, but until then here are some links to pics and a interview with the team:
I also borrowed some of your pics, but I will make sure you are credited. I will post in here the link to the preview and the "journal" article once it is finished! I enjoy your site Geoff, and lets hope they do this again for GF2 the game
