    Do you like single player or multi player content better?

    I play mostly single player but it depends on the game. I used to play Fifa online a lot and I enjoyed it probably more so then if I was paying the AI. I like both but I think I prefer playing by myself because then I only have to rely on myself to have fun.

    Your top PC games of all time?

    There are a few games that stand out for me. I think System Shock two was a great game and then we saw the Half Life series. Football manager is always good for a play when in the mood. I think System Shock two my favourite game. I played it a lot as a kid and I know I'll play it down the line too.

    What makes a video game great and why?

    Re-playability for me because that factors in all the good and the bad elements of the game. It's not a great feeling buying a £30+ game and getting bored. Sure you can sell it, but I think it's better to not want to sell whatever game you buy because you know you will play it again.

    Grand Theft Auto V

    I've played the series since the early top down games. The fifth one is quite stunning though I've not played the PS4 version. I'm waiting for the PC version. I do have it on the PS3 though and my only gripe with the series is a gripe I've always had. I would like them to develop buildings! You...

    Still Playing PS2?

    There were so many great games on the PS2. I still play some for sure. I'm playing Final Fantasy eight currently. Have never got round to completing it so maybe this time I'll get round to it. There are too many great games to play. It would be a shame to forget about it!

    Why Chose the Vita over 3DS?

    I would go with the one that is closer to your needs now. Both with go down in price at some point and they're both quite affordable to have both now if you needed too. For me it would always come down to the games. If the games excite you than it could very well be worth it. You will need to...

    What made you get a Wii U?

    I purchased it because I respect Nintendo as a brand. I wasn't a fan so much of the WII, but I love the concept of motion gaming. I think it will be the best family console of its generation in terms of getting people together and playing games. That is waiting to be seen of course, but I'm...

    Is it worth it?

    I've three of them and they're great value now. I think they're worth it, but it's always best to have an idea what you want to do with it. The prices these days are great and you can get a pretty good bargain looking round. You have to have realistic expectations, but there are many good...

    What was the first game you ever played?

    For me it's hard thinking back but I always remembered Fire Ant on the Commodore 64. I played that on my cousins system a lot and looking back now I can only think it was the only game he had :) Those were the days when Graphics and Story didn't really come into anything. I stand to be corrected...

    What makes a video game great and why?

    I think if it can capture your imagination it's a great game. I played Vector racer on Android Tablet and it's a basic premise, but it's just an addictive pick up and play game. A good story is important and of course how the controls respond. It's also important for games to feel like they have...

    Do you think games are worth their current retail price?

    I think if it's a genuinely quality game then 35-40 should be the limit. Once you go above that, it's absurd. Console games are just over priced in my opinion. The Handhelds should be 15-20 Pounds because they're Novelty systems that won't be used all the time. If you're playing at home it will...

    Is it worth it?

    It depends on whether there are games on the PS4 you want to play? It's a nice system and I really like the controller, but if the games you want to play are months and months away, it's worth holding off for now. Who knows? By the time the game or games you want are out the package deals may be...

    What Genre of Game Do You Like Better?

    I like First Person Shooters too. The last one I player was 'The Last I saw you yesterday (unless, of course, it is part of a title)." class="ver">of Us' on PS3 and that's a really good game. I mainly games growing up on PC's and it's hard to beat the Mouse and Keyboard combination for ease and...

    The worst steam winter sale ever? Or am I just jaded

    Well I think if you've bought a lot in the past or have games still the play then you're probably just jaded. I've not given much attention to it this year though. Just think by the time get round to playing the games we've bought and not played yet, the ones we might consider buying might be...

    Do you use emulators?

    Yes I've used emulators for various things. I've owned a lot of consoles and it's nice that a lot of them work well on the PC. I like reliving my youth so I'm fond of the Spectrum and Amiga Emulator. It's a great feeling to know that when the technology has come and gone, we can still have...

    Metal Gear Acid

    Thinking back to the PSP, I think Metal Gear Acid was the best game I played on the device. The only ever Metal Gear game I played was second one on Playstation 2. I really like the turn based strategy in Acid though and I think they work great on devices where you can just pick up and play. In...

    Do you think there should be more crackdowns on 'Unfinished Games?'

    When you buy a game it should be close to the finished project as possible. There's nothing to stop someone creating something that's broken, selling it for cheap and never bothering to fix it. It makes sense for people looking to break into the business, in terms of much needed revenue and word...
