In the past few weeks I started giving thought about eating your wife.....opps sorry wrong one:)I started giving thought about trying to land a job in video games industry.Since this is something I really want to do I have been looking at different companies websites. There are indeed a decent amount of jobs in these companies and I believe that anyone who does well in School, college, university etc and has got passion for games has a great chance of getting the job they want.
The first thing you have to do is to look for Games Testers ads on the internet or the Edge magasine which apparently hosts loads of these adverts. That is the first step to becoming a games designer, programmer, artist etc. I am very interested in this kind of jobs and I am hoping when I finish my education I will be able to sort something out.

Has anyone had similar thoughts and what do you recommend doing?Eg, what courses and stuff

I too am thinking of going into the games industry, either in programming or a games journalist (which is more what im aiming for). I have sent letters off to mags but as yet have had no replies. I keep trying though, i keep sending reviews and stuff. just need a replie or too.
