Brutal Gamer – Mount & Blade: Warband Review
The scariest thing about this (having written this update on the 29 December 2011) is the fact I don’t remember writing for Brutal Gamer. It’d must have been before I stopped writing for free (something that occurred at the start of 2011).

Mount & Blade’s a pretty self explanatory title. You gallivant around the medieval game world partaking in noble quests, assisting hopeless villages and slaying all that oppose you. It fuses a variety of play styles into a meld of uniqueness. You’ve got your RPG character development, complete with skill roster and levelling system. There’s optional first person shooting (in the form of arrows, stones, knives, etc). Strategic components come via hotkey orders allowing you to control your army of minions with stratagems ranging from charging face first into enemy lines, cowering in fear as you go on an a Rambo-spree or a combination of the both. As you trot about, relinquishing your opponents of their limbs with devastating effect, it becomes apparent that there’s nothing quite like this.
Promotion: Account Exec
Yes, a proud day in fact. Hopefully another post like this comes soon. I’ve been working hard to get to Account Management, but we’ll see. We’re no longer doing the PR for Oncore IT or Me Learning, but the other three are still going strong. Onwards and upwards as they say.
After 8 months at Bamboo PR, I shed my Junior status with a promotion to Account Executive. I’m continuing to work across the MASERGY, Musion, Oncore IT, Me Learning and Intego accounts writing copy, press materials and maintaining media relations with the core trade, consumer and channel press. Simultaneously, I’m searching for new business opportunities, attending sector events and conducting marketing campaigns. The use of social media to increase brand awareness is a particular interest, while the production of traditional PR content like press releases, case studies and bylined articles is equally enjoyable.
