The UK games industry scene is a highly skilled growing industry that boasts a projected 7.5% growth between 2009-2012, this is down to the highly talented employees, with 80% of UK based videogames workers educated to degree level, when compared to the 24% of the UK working age population it seems the most skilled go into video game development.
With the ever increasing growth of gamers and the constant changing marketplace, it gives me more than enough hope that I could do something in the games industry, especially with all the successful games companies in the UK alone, it gives my once unrealistic ambitions some flesh.

"With one in three people now describing themselves as gamers interactive entertainment is more popular than ever before, with games being played by people of all ages at home, online, and on mobile phones. Games cover a range of genres and styles, including hardcore games, casual games, social games and MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Games). Games are also increasingly used in the classroom as educational aids, and as part of an active and healthy lifestyle, endorsed by the Department of Health’s Change4Life campaign."
