Position: Co-Founder, Executive Editor
About Me: "I have been gaming since early 90s, starting with the N64 and then PC a few years later. Much time has passed since those days, but the passion for gaming still burns brightly inside. And what better way to channel that feeling than with an outlet. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you enjoy our website!"

Position: Co-Founder, Web Architect
About Me: "I've been playing PC games intently since the 90s, including greats like Diablo, Red Alert, Duke 3D . I'm a strong PC game supporter and try to help the platform as much as I can. I prefer First person shooters, but also play many other genres of gaming. My game collection is getting larger each year and I'm a big user of Steam. I play both single player and multiplayer games. I have done some modding work before on various game engines but I'm more a dabbler because I find it fun to learn how to mod games then move on. I visit many game related sites for news and discussions because I like being involved in the game community. I construct my own PCs using the base components because I also enjoy that and it's fun to troubleshoot. Thanks for visiting us!"

Name: Tim Reid
Position: Senior Reviews Editor
About Me: "Having been an avid PC gamer from a young age, I enjoy playing games from virtually every genre apart from hard-core racing Sims and MMO’s. I believe that for a game to be good, it must have well designed and well implemented core-mechanics before flashy visuals and gimmicks. I also enjoy working on and with computers; I am the go-to guy for friends and family when it comes to computer troubles."

Name: Peter Ingham
Position: Senior Editorial Contributor
About Me: "After a love affair with Mario World when I was about five, I became hooked on gaming and still am to this day. I studied multimedia at college and then went to university and obtained a 1st in Computer Games Design: Story Development (quite a mouthful) in 2009. At the moment I work for a creative content company, work on my own writing and of course contribute to NGN. Next year I plan to get some of my writing published and buy a pair of solid gold sneakers."

Name: Evan Witt
Position: Senior Reviews Editor
About Me: "As a child I struggled against mad jealousy of those playmates who had an SNES or a Sega Genesis. In my teen years I learned to vent my frustration by building starship fleets and arming myself with rocket launchers. My only remaining task before I reach absolute transcendence is to discover the greatest video game in existence. In order to chronicle my quest, I've decided to write reviews. My favorite genres are puzzle and RTS, and my biggest pet peeves are trial-and-error gameplay, jump scares, and gold coins (the absolute lowest form of motivation in a game). I'm especially interested in the Indie gaming market, and I sincerely believe that video games can (and should) reach a level of high artistic value."

About Me: "I’ve been gaming since the Commodore 64 in the 80s, but I really fell in love with it with the Sega Mega-Drive and Sonic. Nowadays, I’m all over anything PlayStation old or new. I arrived late to the 360 party but I enjoyed catching up with some exclusive classics. My favourite genre tends to be the FPS, although my favourite game is Uncharted 2. Or is it Streets of Rage 2?"

Name: Nick Capozzoli
Position: Reviewer
About Me: "I'm a gamer and writer who's committed to the idea of video games as an art in the most open sense of the word. I'm not interested in limiting games; I want to see them push boundaries and challenge the most deeply held conventions. I don't think there's a magic formula to making them, nor a prioritized list of things they necessarily need do in order to succeed (or fail). I believe games are able serve myriad goals, and as such, I play a wide variety of them to get my various kicks. Even that really, really obscure one that you think you're the only one who appreciates. And that super-popular one that everyone likes to complain about. No, not that one...the other game. Yeah, that's the one."

About Me: "Games come and go too quickly for me to really sit down and think about a favourite one. If it was measured by time, it would probably be World of Warcraft after the years I spent playing it, but that was merely an accident, honest! I'll play pretty much any genre of game going as long as it's a quality product. Except for maybe fighting games, the community for that genre is far too hostile - I much prefer playing League of Legends and Dota 2 where there's a much friendlier environment. Joking aside, if I wasn't reviewing games I'd be making them. So, long live video games!"

Position: Reviewer
About Me: "I was introduced to video games at the tender age of 5, when I performed a hostile take over of Duck Hunt and Super Marion on the original NES. This blossomed into a full on love which drove me to play the latest demo at department store electronic section, invite myself over to a friends house to play the latest game, and eventually turning my mom's PC into my first gaming console. I have journeyed with video games from Sonic the Hedgehog to Resident Evil to Oblivion. I love how games not only show you worlds, you may never see, but they also extend the invitation to come and play in these worlds. Making them different than anything other art form to date."

Position: Reviewer
About Me: "I’ve been wildly passionate about video games ever since successfully jumping over my first Goomba in Super Mario Brothers on the NES, at about the age of 4. I’m predominantly a Sony fan, owning all their consoles and handhelds, although I also enjoy Xbox. Tomb Raider, Devil May Cry and Final Fantasy are my top three franchises, but my enthusiasm extends to a wide variety of genres. I love giving my opinions on the latest video games and hope to make a career out of it someday. My other interests include collecting Tomb Raider memorabilia and cosplay."
