Was this the London office? I remember OXM, ONM and the CVG people all shoved in there when I was at Zone. Blanked on TF being there, unless they were in the bit with the Metal Hammer lot.

they were tucked away at the back of the shared ONM/CVG/OXM room. they mostly kept to themselves because I imagine a bunch of rowdy, dorky games journalists weren't so fun to hang out with 😅
