Alex has been a professional games critic since 2005, and in that time he has written for every major games magazine in the United Kingdom, including NGamer, PC Zone, Edge and Games TM. He has a particular interest in the Amiga/Atari ST era, and lists his greatest gaming achievement as "completing Ikaruga on a single credit. That, or smashing GamesMaster's Matthew Pellett 7-0 at NHL '13".
