Profiles in Game Journalism

Free games! Access to insider industry events! Substandard pay! Little respect! Foul-mouthed readers! Free games!

I've been asked, "How do I get started as a game journalist?"

I've emailed a few working writers covering the games industry to see how they got their start in professional video game journalism. Over the next week or two, I'll post their stories.

Dean Takahashi, David Hodgson, Wagner James Au.
