Hello! I'm the former Deputy Editor of Official Xbox Magazine, and worked on mags such as NGamer, Xbox World and PC Zone, so I definitely have some idea of what is and what isn't a video game. Outside of gaming, my hobbies include birdwatching, canoeing, tennis, ice hockey and travel - particularly to far-flung parts of the world where nature still rules supreme.
