Josh West
I made my start in this business like any good video games journalist should: By starting a fansite with some friends I met in a Halo 2 matchmaking lobby. In the years since, I have served as the Features Editor of GamesRadar+, Deputy Editor of games™ magazine, and have worked the freelance circuit covering everything from 3D art and comic books to technology and psychedelic rock. I have a degree in Magazine Journalism and Feature Writing, and in my youth I appeared in a couple of films and TV shows – but my career as a child actor was cut short because I wouldn't cut off my long hair (true story). I am now the UK Managing Editor of GamesRadar+, with a primary focus on Reviews, SEO, and keeping the gears turning during UK hours.
