My games career progress - Page 11

I am

Just had no motivation to get it done. I really should knock the review out, I actually started it then just couldn't get back to it for some reason.

Tsk

Motivation = more games to review in the future

I'm always open to recieving free, post-review games.....

This not-so-subtle hint was brought to you by lack of sleep.

Haly · 30-06-2008, 11:37

Unfortunately anything I can sell after reviewing, I do. My finances aren't very good at the moment so it's my only option until things improve :/
I do get a few PC games that look like copies but aren't (just the way they get sent!) so people are always welcome to them. I know Pheebs got my copy of Jack Keane not long ago

I think at the moment I've got quite a few PC games floating about that I'm not sure what to do with, and things like Age of Conan and Lineage 2 that are tricky to sell on b/c a free account's already been set up for the review

Brilliant idea, not overly well executed. Starts out great fun then turns into the same thing over and over again. I have played plenty worse though

Haly · 01-08-2008, 12:17

I'm writing a preview piece for the WoW Wrath of the Lich King beta so after 2 days of patching (!), I've finally logged on. My WoW account is inactive although I was planning to resubscribe sometime so I thought I'd have to for the beta.........I don't

Was really pleased to get this task

Haly · 27-10-2008, 16:49

A mahoosive bump (and four posts in a row

) but hopefully people will be interested in this

Thanks hugely to Daz letting me know that a position was open a few weeks back, I am now on a trial period writing for www.xboxgamezone.co.uk

Along with getting more games to review, the most exciting benefit for me is 'after a review period the opportunity to attend press events.' which sounds very promising!
As well as a reference for when applying for future positions

Again unpaid as before (and I'm still writing for play.tm, just finished my 19th review for them), but good experience, free games, and hopefully one day I can take the bold step to take it further into a 'real' career.
Either way it's doing something I love so I'm happy

Glad it is all going well for you

Davey_Pitch · 27-10-2008, 16:51

Nicely done Jen. I applied for that one as well, but I guess I wasn't as good as you. Well played

Haly · 27-10-2008, 16:53

Aww, didn't realise. I'd have crossed my fingers for you as well as me.
Did you have to answer all those questions and write a news release on Soul Calibur 4? It was like a proper interview process

I've got paid jobs for less work
