Jamie writes about indie games and chats to developers about their upcoming titles. He'd love to buy all the retro consoles he had growing up; Amiga, SNES, N64, PS1, Dreamcast; but his wife would kill him, plus she needs the money to fill the house with more plants - you can never have enough plants, apparently. He games on his PS5, Switch and laptop, loving a good story above everything else. Indulges in shooters when he wants a quick gaming fix. Also loves sushi, star wars, and sci-fi/fantasy books.
