Gaming editorials, reviews, and features

Posts by James Sheppard

James joined This Is My Joystick as Staff Writer back in May 2010, and has since risen up the ranks to become the Reviews Editor due to his mad English skills (he did a degree in English lit, ya’know?). His occupation involves helping to sift through the fine content of TIMJ, giving it a little polish here and there when needed. He loves buying bargain games - usually more than he actually has time to play. Since TIMJ has shuttered, James can now be found at The Indie Game Website and The Inexperience Points Gaming Podcast.
