GameTagg Writers Needed

With PSPCrazy going multi-console, we're now looking for writers for GameTagg.

We're looking for writers for all consoles.

If you're interested in becoming a member of our writing staff, reply here, or PM me with which consoles you can write about and how much time you can dedicate to writing for GameTagg (hours or posts per week).

You would become a member of our writing staff with access to the staff forums and a pretty green name. So if you have the time and the enthusiasm to join us, now is the time. You dont need any specific experience, just a love of gaming and the ability to write legible English (a huge advantage ).

Re: GameTagg Writers Needed

I would be very interested, although I am only a newbie here I have plenty of casual writing experience particually when reviewing games. (In fact I hope to hit the industry professionally).

I own:

Nintendo | Wii, DS, GBA (if GBA is relevant I don't know)
Sony | PSP, PS2 (I also have access to PS1 games, although I don't have my console anymore)
Microsoft | Xbox360
Sega | Dreamcast

In my current job I have plenty of time to write due to the amount of internet access I have. I could comfortably squeeze 2-hours (atleast) a day.

Prev. Experience | Don't know if it helps, but I am currently a staff member on a popular gaming forum elsewhere (top 5 result in Google when game name is typed ) Name of forum at request, i'm not an adbot afterall ^_^

Brief Force Unleashed Review
Spoiler

Star Wars : The Force Unleashed

A memorable game for me.
I can't for certain say why, whether it was the gripping story, the massive amount of interactivity between yourself, the environment and your enemies or challenging Sith Master difficulty. But, this is a game that I will be replaying.

The initial story while simple in its premise (Apprentice to the Dark Lord Darth Vader in an attempt to Destroy the Emperor), expands wonderfully and in ways that outclass the original Hextuple movie ventures, boasting tremendous voice acting to make a player feel right inside a blockbuster rather than a video game.

While the combat and enemies tend to remain fairly repetitive the game keeps the hordes that you dispatch fresh with the wonderful array of Sith/Jedi abilities that you are free to abuse, Force Push sends a wave of energy at an enemy which can send them soaring into any number of environmental hazards, Sith Lightning...does what it says on the tin ZAP and Force Grip is possibly one of the more fun abilities you get, allowing you to pick of almost anything (incl. Tie Fighters if there is one around) and throw it at your foe, which is particularly fun when you pick up a small R2 droid and launch them through a Space Station Window to suck all your nearby foes into the cold of space!

As mentioned above the story is fantastic, even leaving the final choice of foe up to you, should you choose redemption or revenge? As you progress you 'level up' which allows you small tokens to spend on new abilities, combos or passive powers (ie. increasing your max health or how fast your Force energy regenerates) which is a nice feature!

One final thing I will say, is that this game completely changed my views on Vader...mainly because I HATED him. in the Original Trilogy he held no 'looming sense of doom' for me, infact he was a laughable character, however after the prologue and Story elements that are shown in Force Unleashed my views were changed...this game makes Vader a very bada$$ character and its a nice thing to finally see in the fella.

If you are a fan of the series you will enjoy this new exploit which plays the way ALL Star Wars games should be played, with full access to all the juicy Jedi and Lightsaber moves that every fan is gagging for! But if you’re new to the series this is still a deep and fun action game with oodles of destructive capabilities - thank you Force Powers!

8.5/10 A fantastic but short lived game, but for an Achievement junkie you will need a few playthroughs under your belt for the more difficult to reach achievements.


That review came about when someone asked me if it was worth buying, I got carried away and in little time I had that before me, I apologise for any spelling errors, although I am competent in spelling and grammar, the lack of an online forum spellchecker does catch me out from time to time ^_^

Re: GameTagg Writers Needed

We still need writers, we have a good team of writers already but, we need regular news stories posted up so we need:

NEWS STAFF

We're also looking for:

EDITOR - to review the news stories/articles etc that others write and check grammar etc.


You don't need any experience in either job, if you love gaming and you can write in English, that's about as much as we ask .
