About Rebecca Mayes

Rebecca Mayes is the first of a series of new creative contributors who are engaging with video games in new ways. We believe that for such an unusual and engaging medium we need to discover inventive and interesting ways to talk about it. Coming up in 2009 is our Origami Gamer, Haiku Gamer and Vignette Gamer.

All the writers on Game People want to interact directly with readers. Why not catch Rebecca's twitter updates, friend her on Facebook, or just email to see how she is getting on.

Having had her sultry self appear in the pages of the Official Playstation Magazine and NGamer, Rebecca has been back to the grind stone. This week's review song takes on the mighty Peggle.

What results is an acapella piece as layered and as crafted as the king of the casual gaming pachinko players itself.

This is not a game for serious gamers and at first the direction my lyrics were taking was: this game is a waste of time. But then I became interested in the idea that for many people this game is some kind of secret habit, not just for housewives/husbands who are playing it instead of folding washing, or children who are playing it instead of doing their homework but also for serious gamers who are playing it instead of playing something that takes some skill.

I like the idea that this very simple game with it's bright colours and cheerful tunes has a more sinister side.

This is my first acapella song. Every sound you hear comes from my mouth. And if that sounded rude to you then you've been playing far too much Peggle.

Having been featured on Kotaku, Games Radar and the That Game Developer blog, this week see's the remastering of her popular song for Flower. Hop along to her Flower PS3 review page for a fresh take on her now classic track.

But so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it. So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy.

Our columnists each focus on a particular perspective and fall into one of the following types of gamers:
