Tips On How To Get Into The Gaming Industry
Tips on how to get into the gaming industry
1) Learn as much as you can. Go to college and study a degree in gaming. Not only does it give you valuable information about the gaming industry; it also can be a start to building bridges with local developers and publishers. You will find it easier to get your name known and you may find getting your first job is made easier.
2) Get your foot in the door. Start as a games tester for a QA team. This gives you a great opportunity to learn more about the company and get to know the staff. You will be able to identify opportunities to move into other departments as positions become available.
3) It’s not what you know it’s who you know. If there is a certain company that you want to work for, make sure they know about it. Volunteer to work as a moderator on their forums. This will show them that you have commitment and passion to many companies desire. It will also give you a chance to show them your skills and abilities.
4) Get the experience you need. Many companies ask you have experience within the gaming industry; so make sure you have just that. Working in an area that relates to the gaming industry such as working for an online payment provider, may you get a job working on the billing system for an MMO.
5) Never give up. Make sure the company knows you want the job and keep chasing them regularly for any potential vacancies that they might have. In the end they will realize that you are committed and passionate so offer you anything that comes available. 99% of gaming industry employees are gamers and love what they do. So chat to how every you are speaking to because they will be more than happy to talk about gaming and their job.
6) After going direct to local gaming developers and publishers. I suggest using an agency to help get interviews and jobs. There is a growing number of agencies popping up on the internet so my advice would be to get you name down on all the suitable gaming agency lists.

Banned Video Games In South Korea
SOUTH KOREA: South Korea has typically banned any game that mentions a fictional war between North and South Korea in order to avoid tensions between the two countries. However, in December 2006, South Korea announced that these games will no longer be banned in order to comply with the principle of free expression. However, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Manhunt, and Manhunt 2 are still banned because of violence and cruelty." In addition, Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction was also banned, although this was later lifted.
Name Reason
Grand Theft Auto III Banned because of violence and cruelty.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Banned because of violence and cruelty.
Manhunt Banned because of violence and cruelty.
Manhunt 2 Banned because of violence and cruelty.
Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction Banned to avoid increasing diplomatic tensions.
