The move comes as the online games site looks to further expand in 2007.

“We’re very pleased to have the benefit of Greg’s advice and experience,” said Eurogamer MD Rupert Loman. “This comes at an exciting time for Eurogamer as we anticipate further rapid growth in our activities. We’ve come a long way in a short time; the opportunities we now face are spectacular.”

Ingham added: “I’m delighted to be involved. Rupert and his team have built a real success with great prospects – all the more impressive given that it was a self-financed start-up and has grown organically in the face of strong competition.

“As we all know, the online sector is enjoying tremendous growth; this is a great time to be back in games media.”
