Hmmm…what to say…well let’s start off with the basics. I’ve been gaming since the age that the ZX Spectrum 2+ was a standard console although you’ll have to judge for yourself whether that makes me old or simply an early starter An avid Sega fan in the early years I found my interest in gaming waning as a teenager, only to be brought back to the fold by Final Fantasy X. Since then my relationship with games has become a tad obsessive and I don’t see that changing anytime…well, ever!

Some of you may already know me as I also write for a few other sites, along with being a member of GamerchiX and appearing in a few UK gaming magazines over the last few years. Since starting to write about gaming, I’ve met the real life Lara Croft, appeared on OXM’s cover disc and kicked some butt at CoD: World at War’s preview event (to name a few experiences).

I think it’s safe to say that gaming is a lot more than a hobby to me. My time is generally spent gaming, reading about games news or writing about games. I like my pretty packaging and extras so my collection contains many limited editions items that I’m very proud of. This generation of consoles leaves me mainly playing on the 360, although I do own all three, and my favourite genre is definitely RPGs (however, I can definitely still hold my own in shooters!).

I could never pick a favourite game as my back catalogue is rather ridiculous in size, and I will generally play every major release along with finding plenty of hidden gems. The only genre I have never touched is sports games. I like sports in real life but the games just leave me cold. I do however, stress that extreme sports are a completely different category.

Let’s see, non-gaming stuff…I live off Red Bull, love anything Joss Whedon (including the graphic novels) and have a penchant for everything red (my handbag, ds, laptop and 360 are all matching!). I hate people labelling me as something I’m not just because I’m a female who enjoys games. I don’t dabble, it’s a hardcore thing, and therefore I expect the same courtesy that other people get. However, on the flip side, I’m more than happy to flaunt my assets. Just remember that breasts do not decrease my skill level!
