A Rare glimpse

It's not unusual to hear rumours within the games industry about what goes on behind the closed doors at super-secretive Midlands-based developer Rare. remember once hearing that all employees had CCTV cameras trained on them to record every movement of every day.

But let's cast that uncorroborated (but intriguing) nonsense aside.If you'd like to get a real glimpse into what it's like to work at Rare, the company which produced GoldenEye, Banjo Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Blast Corps, Perfect Dark and DK Country (all magnificent games in my eyes), then check out this iCast, recorded on-site by Warwick University last November, but finally released to the public.

You'll get to hear it straight from programmer Nicola Bhalerao. She also happens to be one of the organisers of the Women in Games Conference 2008, so expect to learn what it's like to be a woman in the games industry as well.
