Honest Gamers
« on: March 02, 2009, 08:15:34 pm »
I just got hired by Examiner.com to write reviews and articles on Indie films and video games. I get paid based on the number of hits (and I'm contractually obligated to write at least four articles a week).

Thanks to Honest Gamers for this, because it was my portfolio here that caused them to hire me.  I've been writing reviews for HG for about six months now, and I wanted to share the link with everyone here, because I know there's some talented writers on this site.

If you're looking to get into the reviewing business, HG is a great place to start.  Anyone can write reviews, and if you write enough good ones, you'll get hired as staff, which means you get free games every once in a while (for instance, I'm in the running to get a free copy of Killzone 2 to review this week).  And everyone who has written a review can sign up for the weekly give-away-prizes, which include things like new graphics cards, new games, and the occasional swag (like the currently offered Prinny water bottle)
