Welcome to the blog of Ben Borthwick, a Freelance Games Writer based in the UK.

I've written for various places including PC Gamer magazine and the Official XBox Magazine amongst many others. You can find plenty of examples of my work on the What Have I Done page
This is my blog in which I commit to the internet a range of thoughts and ramblings on various subjects, although the majority of them are going to be gaming related ones. These views are inevitably and assuredly my own and not those of any employer or otherwise past or present.
You can find out more about me on the Who Am I page including details on how to hire me, if you like what you see here.
