About the author...
Been gaming since 1980 although I would never have given myself the label of 'gamer' had I not been told that someone who has consistently played games for thirty-four years IS actually a gamer. For me, it's just one facet of who I am rather than something which defines me.
Overall, gaming is leaving me pretty cold these days. After eventually giving in to consoles and jumping from PC to Xbox, then to Xbox 360, there is nothing that I find remotely enticing about the Xbox One and so I've recently found myself wandering around the Sony camp. Console of choice these days is the PS4, with the odd outing on PS3 while the PC sits waiting for some love. It'll happen some day, I'm sure.
