Chris Pickering

I’ve been a journalist for five years and gaming just happens to be my speciality!

Ask a question

I believe in...
Pure facts, with no token PR bullshit. Giving you the knowledge you need to get the games you need.
 

I'm against...
Tedious gaming experiences. Poorly created cash in sequels. Oh, and the vast majority of licensed tiles.
 

More about me
Although the writing game is how I make a living, I possess the beating heart of a pure gamer.

I was brought up on a purely video gaming diet – from the Commodore 64 and Sega’s sublime Mega Drive to the Sony Playstation and even the sadly missed Dreamcast.

All in all, I’ve got a hefty chunk of knowledge which I'll be using to help my fellow gamers make informed purchases.
