Game Writer Rundown: Skyrim
Posted by Game Writer Guy | Filed under game writer
Thoughts on Bethseda’s Skyrim I rented the popular new RPG Skyrim last weekend and lost 2 days to it. This game is a GOTY contender and has garnered over 200 perfect scores from game writers. The usually reserved (and incisive) Eurogamer goes as far as calling it a “masterpiece.” I think it’s pretty good, although I’d [...]

The Videogaming Dentist
Posted by Game Writer Guy | Filed under game writer
Videogames for Dental Work Gaming for drilling? This game writer doesn’t know how he feels about this one. Saw it on Craigslist in October 2009 and have held on to it until now to protect the innocent. Also I didn’t want to post too much on Game Writer Central and spoil all you faithful readers [...]

Free Tunes Trifecta
Posted by Game Writer Guy | Filed under music writing
Free + Tunes = Thursjoy There is such a thing as a free lunch, or at least some free tunes for you, my loyal readers. Quality tunes, of course. We may all lament these changing times. Information overload, internet privacy concerns, and random yokels trying to be your friend on Facebook. One positive side to the [...]

Thinking About Lara Croft
Posted by Game Writer Guy | Filed under game writer
Tomb Raider Is Back I suppose it’s time to throw a little love Lara’s way. There’s a new Tomb Raider reboot brewing, and the Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light third-person downloadable game prospering (#2 in DLC at the Playstation Store). I’m happy that the execs have recognized that this gaming icon still has [...]

A Brain-Training Break
Posted by Game Writer Guy | Filed under game writer

Game Designers Actually Write?
Posted by Game Writer Guy | Filed under game design
Game Writers Aren’t the Only Developers Who Need Writing Skills “Game designer” is an oft-misunderstood label that, like all labels, sometimes fails completely in describing the variety and depth of tasks tackled by the many talented people who fall into this bucket. Many times game consumers and friends have told me they thought game designers [...]

The Avatar Movie
Posted by Game Writer Guy | Filed under game writer
Game Writer Thoughts on Cameron’s Avatar Movie The Avatar movie is all the rage right now, and with good reason. Here are my quick, spoiler-free thoughts. Gorgeous.

Game artist: caught clipping
Posted by Game Writer Guy | Filed under game design
A game artist goofup A game artist has a hard life. You spend years – nay, a lifetime – honing your skills and craft. You sketch incessantly, driven by your passion for visual expression. You paint, you sculpt, you design, you draft. After your traditional art training, you pick up the digital tools of creation. [...]
