Greetings game design rangers!

This is the web site of Oli Clarke Smith, a dashingly handsome videogame designer. I make games, play games and think about games. I also write about games and that's why this site exists.

On this site you'll find my blog as well as my portfolio. You will also find links to the reviews I used to write and maybe other random musings.

I have many years of games industry experience and have worked on high profile titles on several different platforms.

Hit me up over Twitter @chopemon or drop me an email at oli.clarkesmith at hotmail.co.uk!
