About Aidan Williams

A journalist who has spent years in B2B and sports but now turning their attention towards their main love: gaming. With 22 years of gaming on a variety of consoles, they're still in front of their sofa happily gaming away. 

Favorite Console

Recency bias perhaps, but the PS5. It's been the most complete gaming experience: from online to having the back catalogue to go and explore old favourites. The haptics make shooting games vastly more immersive and old PS4 favourites (like Tales Of Berseria) play a lot better than on the original. 

It'll be one that lasts long in the memory.

Favorite Games

I'm a huge fan JRPGs, with my first major memories of the PS1 being of Final Fantasy IX and I'll always have one on the go. Age has seen me find Call Of Duty relaxing, alongside platformers, metroidvanias and other varying shooting games.

The best game of all time? Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth. I'll die on that hill... until the third entry comes out.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Okay, so I enjoy being the 'blue shell' in party games. In Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War I became good at Sticks 'N' Stones, by using tomahawks against people you reset their score score. With about 30 seconds remaining I was losing, I went on a run of about five kills in a row using tomahawks and I ended up winning.

It took me a while to stop laughing.
