"How to get in" by Paul Barnett
 

IGN has started a video series which, while it may be too optimistic at times, is a great resource and a very fun watch on how to get into the game industry.

If you have never seen/met Paul, you are in for a treat. Very funny guy and he really is the Creative Director for EA Mythic. Enjoy.

Wow and here I thought I needed to know something. Nope "just be passionate". At least this gave me a good laugh.

Im akbar from India.im very serious about entering the gaming industry but due to the limited exposure here in India I have some doubts.i did some research and i came across only a couple of colleges that offer game designing degree and diploma.since i am in my final year of bcom,i wanna pursue the 1yr diploma in game designing.im very committed about workin in the game industry,as i play games as a passion and i analyse them too at the same time.please teel me if it will be helpful if i do this 1yr diploma instead of the 3yr degree.sorry 4 bein lazy!!!!

As i cant afford to study abroad right now i 'll have to take up that course,i.e. in india...please im more than just serious about entering game industry....and please tell if this diploma will be helpful if i wanna apply directly 4 a job in the usa..im very talented when it comes to perceiving ideas..i do some documentation too..please respond...
