Paul Glancey is a video game producer and former journalist in the United Kingdom. He made his first steps into the videogame industry as a writer with Zzap!64 and CVG before contributing a few reviews to Mean Machines[1] (Wrestle War in issue 9 was the first). Like Julian Rignall and Richard Leadbetter, he tended to appear in both EMAP magazines at the same time.[2]
He went on to launch MegaTech — the first UK Mega Drive only magazine.[2] This was an impressive publication, which, at its peak, had a monthly sale of over 40,000 copies.[3] Ultimately, its publisher, EMAP Images, sold the magazine to Maverick Magazines, the publisher of a competing magazine called Mega Drive Advanced Gaming. Shortly after MegaTech was bought, Maverick closed it down.
He has worked as a Senior Producer at Electronic Arts' Criterion studio in Guildford, UK. Criterion has developed the best-selling Burnout series and 'gun porn' shooter Black. After that, Paul worked at BlackRock Studio[6] followed by a period as Game Design Manager at Ubisoft Reflections. He was a Senior Designer/Producer at Criterion.[7] In September 2021 Glancey became a Design Manager at Double Eleven Limited.[5]
