About Alex Alcock
Alex Alcock is a passionate writer from England, fusing a love of storytelling and gaming to create informative content. He's been involved in game media for less than a year, but has prior experience with three other publications that covered a wide array of topics, including video games, film and literature.
When not working towards his degree, he can most likely be found playing Mass Effect 2, or trying out the Nintendo Switch, six years late.
Industry Focus
I'm currently a freelance writer for lists on The Best War Games. You'll see me covering everything from the latest games to retrospective top tens, as well as the opinions and rankings that fall in between.
Favorite Games
My top three games of all time have to be Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Mass Effect 2. Aside from these, I'm an instant buyer for anything Miyazaki or Kojima release, as well as games in the Final Fantasy or Risk of Rain series.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
Every time I buy a Soulsborne game, I'm immediately required to get every Steam achievement. So far, I've 100% completed seven of these games (Dark Souls 1,2,3, Elden Ring, Sekiro, Code Vein and Jedi Fallen Order).
