Reckon you're a Games Guru?
Know your Daikatana from your Half-Life 2s? Did you 'get' Katamari Damacy? Think that Trap Gunner is an over-looked gem?
Well here's the chance to prove your superior gaming knowledge, and bring it to the masses!
I’m looking for a contributor who wants to bring their talents to HEXUS.gaming in the form of news, previews, reviews and more.
We need a writer with a broad gaming knowledge and the ability to clearly communicate their authoritative thoughts on the rapidly expanding HEXUS.gaming channel.
You’ll be able to work to my deadlines to produce readable and factually accurate gaming related content which truthfully informs, expertly helps and consistently entertains.
I’m looking for a full-timer, but might consider a part-time position for the right candidate. Presently HEXUS is not looking for freelancers or failed print-journalists.

Good Luck! ...but we'd sooner you knew how to make your own...
