First time I’ve been super missing the journo side since I was down to review it 😭

To everyone playing Saros…

Ramattra in Stadium AND a Diablo-themed skin? We eating GOOD.

Cyberpunk 2077’s PS5 Pro patch is so, so good.
Still, a cracking read over my morning coffee!
I love Apple products and services, but there's no denying there have been some missteps. As part of the company's 50th anniversary, I took a look at some of them for TechRadar.
How many do you remember?

Screamer is out today, and it's the first game I've had the pleasure of working on - check out the launch trailer!

'I'm playing Marathon in ultrawide. You get a death recap screen up on that baby and you are seriously looking at that death recap screen'
Very pleased to announce I've joined PREMIER as a freelance Senior Account Executive - although you may have guessed from my first press release yesterday!
Very excited to start my PR journey with such a wonderful team and have the opportunity to stay in the games industry.
In possibly my last gaming commission, I wrote about Marathon and what it does well, what needs work ahead of launch, and why I think it’ll find a place alongside others in the genre.

Is Pokopia and Marathon the closest we’ll get to the double whammy of Animal Crossing and Doom Eternal happening again?
Had a very successful #marathonthegame session with @jameswright-uk.bsky.social and @robertesom.bsky.social this evening - roll on launch!
Despite being a big ol' fraidy cat, I'm getting caught up in the Resi hype.
There is no way I'd make it through the opening hour, and yet...
I'll still be freelancing in tech and fitness content (and finishing off some final commissions), because I simply love to write, but I'm also so, so excited to move onto the next step of my journey.
From Gamescom, to my first bylines on sites like IGN and Eurogamer, to esports tournaments and world-exclusives, to literally losing my hair over stats in the darker times, it's never been boring - and I'm so grateful to everyone I've met along the way.
I've been to Canada, Romania, Germany, the USA, and even Singapore - all places I simply wouldn't have had the chance to go without the support of an industry that took me in when I felt I offered so little, and showed me I could do so much.
I moved into the industry at 29, had to learn fast, and think I made a pretty good go of it - all while raising a family.
I've worked as a news writer, guides writer, editor, and all the way up to EIC, and I'm so grateful for the opportunities I've had to do a job that my younger self would have given anything for.
Feeling quite reflective today. I'm so excited to be able to announce my next move soon, but I'm leaving games media after seven years.
Finally splashed out on some stash tabs for Path of Exile 2 and they've changed my life. Genuinely spending so much less time messing around with my currencies now, and I have a Unique collection to flick through! What a world.
Can’t remember the last time I was this nervous for a NLD. That Arsenal squad, on paper, should win, but new manager bounce and this being a derby means it’s hard to call. COYG.
Appreciate you, DB!
Catching up on the love folks have shown me the last few days.
So grateful - I’m lucky enough to work with some amazing teams for freelance, and I hope to have some news about next steps soon.

Been working on something near and dear to my heart for IGN, but for now, here’s the latest Magic Market Watch.

Thank you bud, have dropped Miranda a reintroduction after my guides there last year 🙂
