Get Blitzed

Leamington-based developer Blitz Games is holding two open days for students hoping to get into the games industry. 25 a day will be allowed in to see how games like Reservoir Dogs and Spongebob Squarepants are shaping up. "Each day will feature of a full tour of the company's new facilities and a series of informative presentations about the fast-moving games industry and the methods required to meet the challenges of producing high quality and commercially successful games," says the press release. As Spongebob is being developed for Wii, they may also get a go on Nintendo's new console too.

"It's like 'Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory' for students that want to enter the games industry!" said CEO Philip Oliver, possibly dressed in top hat and tails, while twirling a cane mischievously. Does this mean the students will disappear one-by-one as they stray off the official tour route?

The events will take place on June 16 and July 6 and students at UK universities can apply here.
