Nigel, now that sounds like an interesting job - do you enjoy it? Is it more programming, or more playing? Are you on the graphics department? Video? Sound?

Yes I do enjoy it but it can be very demanding when schedules are tight. There is not much playing other than what is needed to test out features being programmed. So programming is pretty much all I do. The company I work for does quite a few conversions for different publishers from other platforms to the Sony PS2 so we are not so much creating anything new as much as getting existing code to work on a lesser games console. We are sort of a games software chop shop I guess. The last game I worked on was
Metal Arms and I am now working on
Full Spectrum Warrior both for the PS2 and originally created for the Xbox.
