Bio:
I was born. I played my first game (Tau Ceti on the Amstrad) when I was 6. I got my first games console (a shiny second-hand SNES) when I was 8. That was when I truly found the joy of games, and I’ve never looked back. I progressed to a PS1, PS2 and almost bought a PS3, but decided instead to break the cycle and buy the far superior Xbox 360. Games have somehow managed to infiltrate my conciousness like mini Solid Snakes. When I bleed, I bleed pixels. When I speak, little RPG bubbles float over my head. When I sleep, my subconscious transfers to my Xbox and I carry on playing… Ok, maybe not all that, but it feels like that sometimes…

I have been an avid writer since I learnt the alphabet. More recently, due to taking media courses at college, I’ve become interested in journalism. I’ve been reviewing games just for the joy of it for years, and I have an uncontrollable urge to tell the world what I think of something. I write short stories, long stories, scripts, rants, a blog, articles on a plethora of subjects and reviews. Also I enjoy partaking in the usage of my extensive vocabulary in order to stipulate a point or express various meanings or emotions through my literature. In other words, I like being wordy.

My hobbies include playing in a band, doing media stuff, sitting on my arse watching films, talking at people, hanging out with my girlfriend and having the odd tipple with my chums now and then. Oh, and playing games obviously.

Favourite Genre:
RPG’s for the win. Action ones like Fallout and Mass Effect. Also pretty much anything except racing or sports, they bore the faecal matter from my bowels.

Gaming Style:
Hit and run. You might get me, but by jove I’ll get you first.

Special Move:
Big words…
