About The No Sleep Gamer, Brendan Griffiths
I’ve set up this Video Games website to display articles that I’ve written for other gaming sites, University assignments and a student newspaper/magazine. At University I studied Film & Media with Journalism and was awarded a 2.1.
I write about anything games related, including: reviews, previews, features, news and interviews. My aim is to get work for a magazine or website, so don’t be shy you hiring types. If you’d like to offer any feedback, good or bad, feel free to message me or add a comment to the article.
I’ve been gaming since the Commodore 64 in the 80s, but I really fell in love with it with the Sega Mega-Drive and Sonic. Nowadays, I’m all over anything PlayStation old or new. I arrived late to the Xbox 360 party but am enjoying catching up with some exclusive classics. Once in a blue moon I drag out the PSP or Wii under the agreement it won’t be rubbish or cause me physical injury. I also currently work as a cinema projectionist.
I write regularly for multiple sites and I back-up the articles on this site too, or at least post a link to them at the original site. In 2009 I attended press launch parties in London on the behalf of Game Hub for EA’s Battlefield 1943 and Sony’s Video Store. I also attended the Eurogamer Leeds 2009 Expo. For Dealspwn I have attended preview events for Homefront, Red Faction: Armageddon, Xperia Play, PlayStation Beta Rooms, The Gadget Show Live 2011, Gamescom 2011 and Eurogamer 2011.

I wrote for UCLan’s (University of Central Lancashire) magazine PR1/Pluto, for three years (2006-2009), with my final year as the Deputy Editor of the Entertainment section.
I have completed a week of self-initiated work experience at PlayStation World (PSW) magazine in April 2008 which resulted in an article and screen-grabs of mine getting published in Issue 107 May 2008.
I also had this article picked up and published in Issue 01 of Pakistan’s first ever gaming magazine, Game Mode in October 2009.
