Announcement | Gaming for Charity: Points for Life

Resolution Magazine is very proud to announce its support of an exciting new charity event. Points for Life, a 24-hour-long gaming marathon set for 5th June this year, will encourage players from all around the globe to hawk for achievement points, and scour their circles for donations for every achievement unlocked.

From 9AM GMT on the day of the event, participants will have 24 hours to collect Achievements or Trophies on their Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 consoles, or through Valve’s Steam service on the PC. Donations can be collected per achievement, at a suggested rate of up to a few pence each, or in a lump sum.

All the proceeds generated by the event, along with any further sponsorship money, will be split between two children’s charities: Great Ormond Street Hospital and Child’s Play.

And we’re doubly proud to be involved, as the brains behind this crazy scheme is none other than Resolution’s own deputy editor, Daniel Lipscombe.

From the man himself: “We, gamers, are a massive community and a determined bunch of people. Charities such as Great Ormond Street Hospital and Child’s Play need money to keep up the great work they do, and if we come together we can give something back and do some good.”

Also supporting the event are our pals at Nidzumi+.
