I WAS a journalist until the newspaper I was working for closed (abqtrib.com is the site). I am doing PR now but still have tons of contacts in the biz. I still gets games sometimes. I landed some sweet games (Rockband with a free guitar, GHIII, Halo 3 the weekend before it was released - Mass Effect a week before release - Bioshock a week before release) but honestly, after reviewing games, I didn't have fun with them. As a journalist, I could contact PR firms and devs and publishers directly and request a grip of stuff. I e-mailed the contacts for this PSN game about parachuting. It's a cool game. Two contacts hit me up and sent me the code. With COD4, I contacted Activision directly and they let me in on the private beta. Oh, it was sweet.
With Atari, I was invited to the PS2 TDU beta test and was digitally recreated as an NPC in the game. Club D - I am the president.
I miss that, but hay, I have tons of reviews, clips and newspaper pages on my wall. I have no regrets.
It was one heck of a ride. I may go back into it soon if I get sick of Public Relations.
