Default My games career progress

Feel a bit mean posting my good news right next to Davey's crap news
But I'm really excited so need to post

Friday night I was feeling a bit crap and decided to make me feel like I was getting somewhere with my ambitions, to finally say sod it and email a selection of the reviews I've written both unpublished and two that were posted on http://www.xbox360achievements.org/
I emailed them to quite a number of different games sites ranging in size including one that an old Uni friend recommended to me: http://play.tm/

Got a reply back Saturday morning before work, after a brief email conversation, I now have a copy of Moto GP07 for the PS2 and The Darkness Within for the PC (which I've never heard of before) on their way to me to review and keep once I've reviewed. And hopefully if my reviews are any good, I'll have more on the way too

So erm yeah, bit excited Hoping it might finally lead me towards a career in what I enjoy most.

Rumor had it that he ventured to several exotic places around the world learning from tribe shamans and sorcerers. It remains a great mystery as to why Loath Nolder disappeared so suddenly, resurfacing five years later and resuming his investigations just as abruptly as he had left them. Why does this venerated P.I. now sit on the other side of the law?

This seemingly routine investigation takes a dramatic twist as strange and terrifying happenings begin to plague your psyche. You experience lucid horrifying dreams and are tormented by paranormal happenings. Why do days pass instead of hours when you sleep? What's real and what's not? As you pursue fugitive murder suspect Loath Nolder, you must face dire truths hidden deep within a haunting darkness and the recesses of your mind.
Sounds interesting.
