A freelance journo with aspirations of becoming a games journalist, I've been gaming since the age of 7 when I first picked up a copy of Wave Race for my brand new Gameboy. A firm believer that Vice City is the best GTA, I'm less decisive about the favourite original starter Pokémon. Charsquirtasaur?
