Previously he created VideoGamer.com, was EiC on VG247, and managing editor on USgamer. He likes to reminisce about the good old days (retro games), but still thinks video games now are better than they've ever been. Formerly a Football Manager addict, he now spends his free time tweeting about the classic PGR series and telling everyone how good Xbox Game Pass is.
