How long is that intro bit? It seems like it should be the main focus of your PS. Have you read anything about it?

You can talk about what you found interesting and why, what was challenging, what did you have to think about while designing the games, did you think or read about any theories or work of people in the field whom you admire, what are you looking forward to learning more about at uni?

What is the bit about looking forward to studying at uni about? I'm not sure you need that bit, as it will be implied that what you are interested in is what you want to study. If it's new it's a bit different, but you need to be careful that all your unis do it and not mention module names
