Game On
A fascinating, but poorly attended session at the Celtic Media Festival this morning in which we heard how Dundee has become the real hub of the video games industry in Britain. There was much praise, also, for Abertay University which works closely with the games companies to ensure a steady stream of qualified graduates and courses that keep pace with the changes in software systems and codes.
Despite that we were told that one Dundee company alone has forty vacancies waiting to be filled.
There was a lot of discussion about how games producers can share skills with the traditional entertainment industries; script-writing, story-boarding and animation, for example.
Oh and there were two experts on hand to answer the age old question that divides so many games enthusiasts: is Fifa 09 a better football game than Pro Evolution Soccer?
Apparently not, say the men in the know.
I thought you ought to know.
