For those of you who are not in the UK Radio 1 isessentially the biggest and most popular radio station that is listened to across the country. During the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend (22nd to 25th May) Radio 1 will be covering lots of games based content ranging from reviews, leaderboards and even a games surgery to help out fellow gamers. BBC Radio 1 & 1Xtra will be hosting an online poll to find the greatest ever video game. A panel of industry experts will compile a list of their top 100 games and then listeners will be invited to choose their top three from the list.

Perhaps the highlight of the weekend is that for once, video games soundtracks will be played and heard by millions over commercial radio – something that very rarely happens. Most of the music can be listened to on the Monday (25th), so it’s something worth tuning into!

You can give Sega and Sonic your support by calling in, but whether you’re in the UK or not you can listen to the events on Radio 1 via their website.
