My Apologies
I believed I had posted this already. But I AM putting the Growing N Gaming blog on Hiatus. I am not working full time and was accepted to a Software Engineering Major so my time will be completely drained by both work and school work. To anyone that has been be waiting for a new [...]
Starcraft II
I’m going to be attempting to work full time and then pursue a degree in Software Engineering So I’m contemplating cutting back on my posting. Possibly even putting the blog on hiatus. If you want to weigh in on the subject post a comment please. Concept: 3/5 There was no real amazing concept behind Starcraft [...]
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin for the Nintendo DS
Now that I’m also posting these game reviews for examiner.com I have to try and keep the word count a little limited. So sorry for the length. If my readers ask for more details I can start doing a more detailed version here and a simpler version for examiner.com if people want. Concept: 4/5 Take [...]
Back to the Job Hunt AND "The Simple Truth of the ‘Are Video Games Art?’ Debate"
So I’m giving up on the QA Job in Montreal. Trying to figure out visas just proved to be to much of a hassle for me. I was feeling the urge to hit my head on the desk every time I attempted to work on it so I gave up. I’m now back to the [...]

Last month I posted talking about the difficulties of getting a job. But now from my job hunt I have a job in the industry. It’s working for Babel Media in Montreal. It’s an outsourcing QA company that other companies said their games to, to be tested. Since QA has been one of my passions [...]
Backbreaker for the PS3
This month I am reviewing the new American Football game out on the market. Concept: 3/5 Unfortunately I can not rate the concept of this game particularly high. It was a simple concept. The people making the game wanted to make a football videogame. Unfortunately, the Madden Franchise owns exclusive rights to the NFL teams, [...]
The Job Hunt
Well, it’s begun. I’ve graduated from college and now the job hunt begins. I find myself oddly prepared and seemingly under-prepared for my future career. I and some of my friends find ourselves in a predicament. Some companies feel we’re over qualified for QA work and other places feel we’re under-qualified for Design work. Leaving [...]
Heavy Rain for the PS3
Sorry for the tardiness everyone. Graduating has a tendency to distract a person I suppose. Concept: 5/5 The concept of Heavy Rain is a genius one. I do not wish to toot the game’s horn too much but they really tried to push the idea of an Interactive Drama. You play through the game as [...]
