These days, I'm the Senior Editor for UploadVR, but I started covering video games in 2010 with Nintendo Life before returning to media in 2019. While virtual reality has become my specialist field, my role also allows me to freelance for other outlets, so you'll also find me published at Eurogamer, IGN, Push Square, startmenu and more. I'm also open to working on mock reviews.

It harks back to 3D platformers of yore, but Demon Turf is so much more than a Banjo Kazooie-like. With its inventive platforming, packed to do list and great sense of humour, the latest game from the creators of Slime-San is devilishly good fun.

There’s a refreshing freedom to Paradise Killer we’ve not previously seen.
