Staff BioThis is the bit where I get to bore everyone about my exciting life. Don’t you feel privileged? No, really, you should.
My very first adventure game was Secret of Monkey Island and having been captured by its charm and hilarious insult fighting, I went on to purchase and play adventure games of all formats ever since. Particularly obscure ones that no-one has ever heard of for my PC. When not adventuring, I’ll play anything decent (bar horror games anyway) and owns numerous handheld consoles, the latest being the Nintendo DS. As well as a Nintendo GameCube, Sega Dreamcast and Sony PlayStation 2 but that’s another story.
During the day, I freelance for various gaming publications in the UK and my work has appeared in OPSM, PSM2, Retro Gamer, GamesTM, Micro Mart and a few others that no longer exist. Plans to actually write novels or something credible are still under way.
You can wake up now.
