Bio:
I was brought up around gaming. Some of my earliest memories revolve around The Blues Brothers and Moonwalker on Atari ST. For many years, gaming took a backseat in my life and I just mainly observed as friends and family went mental for the PS2′s release and other such events. Except for Pokémon. Holy crap, I was a Pokémon fanboy of scary proportions. In the past couple of years, however, gaming has become an increasingly bigger part of my life. I’m pretty much hooked now!

Console of Choice:
X-Box 360

Favourite Retro Console:
Has to be SNES. I shudder to think how many hours I spent on Mario Kart as a kid.

Favourite Game Series:
I’m a massive wrestling nerd so I’ll go with the SmackDown! vs. RAW series. If only for letting me put The Brian Kendrick over John Cena. Oh man…

Favourite Game:
If we’re going on nostalgia, it has to be WWF No Mercy on the Nintendo 64. That’s still probably my favourite wrestling game of all time. But if we’re talking overall gaming experience, I’ve gotta go with Dragon Age: Origins. Probably quite an unconventional pick, but I don’t think any game has ever caught my imagination quite like DA:O.

Least Favourite Game Series:
I’m pretty easy-going with games, but I’ve really never ‘gotten’ the Halo series.

Least Favourite Game:
Crackdown. That game infuriates me. Mainly because I suck at it.

Gamer Style:
Casual, with sporadic bursts of hardcore geekery.
