About the author...
Editor In Chief of GamingLives
May have started gaming back in 1980, but it's taken me until 2009 to accept the label of "gamer". My love for gaming never really kicked in until playing UFO: Enemy Unknown for the first time and realising that so many hours and months could be devoted to playing a single game without ever once losing interest. My playlist has mainly been sim and strategy games, with the Command And Conquer series holding on in the top three for as long as I can remember, however, in recent years, I immersed myself in Oblivion and Fallout 3 and find it difficult to pit other games against them.
Recently completed Two Worlds II and spending too much time working on GamingLives to have moved on to the next game, although I suspect that'll happen sometime shortly. If there's one thing that our trip to PAX East has taught me, it's that there's never enough time in the day to cover everything that's out there.
Created this site due to boredom and frustration and quickly realised that it swallows more time than a time swallowing dwarf in a red latex catsuit. Really can't be bothered with multiplayer gaming and yet, for some strange reason, I tend to be spending every evening on XBL pilfering red crates in Borderlands with an unnecessary amount of swearing to accompany each opening. I need to get out more... maybe not.
