Game People is a UK based website that offers multiple opinions from everyday people on the latest videogames. Each writer has their niche perspective and comes from all walks and ages of life. Rather than mass media, Game People states its aims to be social, mini, friendly and failing.

Their artisan reviewers aim to provide an individual perspective on videogames, but have in common a desire to fit some games in amongst busy lives -- parents, young adults, mid-lifers, teenagers, retirees and artists.

As well as writing, they also provide more unusual ways of reviewing games. This has involved the use of songs, origami, photography, animation and even teletext to communicate an opinion about a particular game. Most famously Rebecca Mayes started her sung video game reviews before finding her home on The Escapist.

Game People writers have featured on BBC TV and BBC Radio, Arts Festivals , mainstream print like Official Playstation Magazine. Their writers also contribute to Wired, IGN and Game Pro. They provide a weekly Game People Calling column for The Escapist.
