Want To Know What It's Like To Write About Games For A Living?
One of the most frequent questions I get about my job -- right after "How do I get hired as a games writer?" -- is whether it's as awesome as it sounds. And, hey, I can't complain too much. But as exciting as it is, the wide world of games journalism can also be pretty strange. Case in point: Games Journo Story.
This short indie RPG was created by Brendan Caldwell, an actual games journalist for U.K. site Resolution Magazine. It's full of goofy inside jokes, pseudo-intellectualism, and lots of drinking -- just like writing about games in real life!
So how is it? I wouldn't know; I gave up halfway through, just like any true games journalist. Luckily, you can download it for free and find out for yourself at Caldwell's blog.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
