Phil's lifelong gaming obsession began when he played Spellbound on a friend's ZX Spectrum. Thus began a love of games, particularly character-driven games and those with a strong narrative. In 2015, he wrote, designed, and programmed the comedy superhero adventure, Supreme League of Patriots. When he's not playing games, writing about games, or making games, he can usually be found ranting that John Noble should have won an Emmy for Fringe. His all-time favourite games include Star Ocean 2, Persona 4: Golden, Fallout 3 and Life is Strange. He is a self-confessed PS Vita evangelist and recovering JRPG addict.
