We wanted to try something a little different ;)
Witcher 2 BAFTA Q&A
While we know many of you who are fans of not only The Witcher 2 but games and their development, we know you couldn’t be there with us last night. So here are some of the tweets we made during the live Q&A session to give you some idea of what we talked about…

Last night Namco Bandai UK hosted a live Q&A session for the Witcher 2 at BAFTA HQ
I am so in love with this game and working on this title has been a joy for me. Also The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition is epic and yes, the Enhanced edition is the standard edition you buy in shops or online for the same price.
The Soundtrack if beyond wonderful. One of the best game soundtrack I have heard in a very, very long time.

Killer Soulcalibur V Wall Mural in London
Spotted on the Great Eastern Street wall in London’s East End, this amazing Soulcalibur V wall mural was commissioned by Namco Bandai and made by End of the Line.
Here’s a video of the amazing mural being made.
(via: Obvious Winner)
Easily one of my favourite highlights to our SoulCalibur V campaign. I strongly, STRONGLY suggest you check out the ‘making of video’, its fantastic and the music (from Lazy Habits) it not only brilliant but perfect for this video.

NAMCO BANDAI Invite You to Touch your Katamari to be in with a Chance of Winning a PlayStation®Vita with Touch My Katamari™
Here at NAMCO BANDAI we’re forever touching our Katamaris and showing them to each other. At lunchtime in the office, we each go away and lovingly nurture our individual sticky balls before parading them around on our PS Vitas for all to see. We love doing it so much, that we made our very own ‘real’ Katamaris which we roll around the office picking up stray paper clips and PAC-MAN pens.
Now we’re inviting you to touch yours too. We’re looking for people who aren’t afraid to touch their Katamari in public, take pictures and send them to us so we can share their fondness for sticky things with millions of likeminded Katamari lovers all over the world via the miracle of the Internet.
So what do you have to do? Well it’s very simple. Take note of this image of our very own NAMCO BANDAI UK Community Queen, Hollie Bennett. She’s touched her Katamari so much since starting work here that it comprises all our major releases, half a ton of stationery and loads of Dragon Ball Z figures which had previously started to take over the office.
We want you to build your very own Katamari and touch it every day. We want pictures! We want to see love in your eyes and care in your creations. Touch it. Touch it. Touch it. You know it makes sense. The best picture wins a PSVita (inc memory card) a copy of Touch My Katamari and a Katamari t-shirt so you’ll never be far away from touching your sticky virtual friend.
The competition closes on 7th March and all images should be sent via email to uk-competition@namcobandaipartners.com or tweeted to @NamcoBandaiUK with the hashtag #itouchmykatamari. UK residents only, sorry!
Good luck!
On this day, the day that the PlayStation Vita lanuches, it only seems right to kick off our new Tumblr account with some Katamari based goodness.
Go on, touch your Katamari, you know you want to.
