Gavin has had a passion for writing almost as long as his passion for video games. Which came first, the controller or the pen?
His earliest memories include stapling A4 papers together to make books to write on and playing Super Mario on the NES with his brother. Now he plays a huge variety of game genres, platforms and styles, from indie to AAA, from 2-hour experiences to 50-hour marathons, from RTS to FPS to RPG and every three-letter acronym in-between.
