After many weeks in the making, the games section on studentbeans.com is now live!

Here you can fritter your time away on 80s favourites like Tetris, the curiously addictive Sling Jumper or shoot apples off a friend’s head (see below - incidentally this is our most popular game so far - must be the realistic spurts of blood).

On the other side of the website, the Beanzine (our online magazine by students for students) has evolved to feature blog posts from our ten Channel Editors within the articles section.

So, if you have a random urge to get the Food Editor’s opinion on risotto or find out the Entertainment Editor’s favourite bands you know where to go (plus, you can see what they look like too!)

Voting for the Beanzine Entertainment Awards 2008 is now open!

Are you dying to let the world know of your love for Kings of Leon or desperate to proclaim your addiction to Mario Kart Wii?

Here’s an opportunity to get your opinion heard on some of the most pressing issues for today’s student.

I’m not talking about the impending US Election or the £100m cut in next year’s student grants, but who will emerge victorious in the Beanzine Entertainment Awards 2008.

Brainchild of Entertainment Editor Rob Leedham, they give every student nationwide the chance to cast their vote in the following categories:

• Song of the year
• Movie of the year
• Book of the year
• TV show of the year
• Video game of the year
• Event of the year
• Entertainer/s of the year

You can find the nominees for each category and cast your vote in the poll on the studentbeans.com homepage.

The winners will be announced in the Beanzine and on the studentbeans.com blog in December…watch this space!
