Welcome to the blog of Ben Borthwick a Gaming Writer based in the UK.

I'm the former News Editor of VideoGamer.com, and have also written for various other outlets including the Official Xbox and PlayStation Magazines and their respective websites, Edge, PC Gamer Magazine, GamesRadar and 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.
