One of my clients has cut some budget this month, so I’m available for news shifts, guides, and just about anything else for Gamescom and beyond.

Looking for an experienced freelancer with great knowledge of gaming across genres and platforms? Let me know!

RTs appreciated!

🚨Some news 🚨

I'm moving into full-time freelance, but I'm happy to say that I'll be writing full-time for IGN (and its wider network of sites) as part of that.

Expect to see a lot more of me at IGN, Eurogamer, VG247 and RPS every day.

Excited to talk about my next freelance gig 🙏

Visited Frankfurt recently to experience a chunk of DOOM: The Dark Ages, and the game was so ridiculous in its brutality that it made this one of the easiest, most enjoyable previews I’ve ever written.
