Author: Nathan Franklin

I am an English BA Hons graduate who is an avid games player. I first got hooked on games as a child, playing on my brother's MegaDrive; Sonic was pretty much my idol during that time! Since then, I've owned a variety of gaming consoles including the PS1, Dreamcast (such an underrated console!), GameBoy Advance, GameCube, PS2 and Xbox 360 (Which has recently died out on me. RIP). Outside of gaming, I enjoy Athletics, literature, music and potatoes.
