About Cameron Swan

From his earliest gaming memories playing Spyro 2 on the PlayStation, to being obsessed with the swing-out animations in Marvel's Spider-Man, Cameron has always been, and continues to be, in love with video games. What started as frenzied childhood discussions on Star Wars Battlefront 2 has transitioned into somewhat less frenzied breakdowns on...Star Wars Battlefront 2. It's fair to say that video games are an integral part of Cameron's life, and hopefully they'll continue to be.

Favorite Games

Cameron has a deep love for more video games than he can shake a stick at, but some of his all-time favorites continue to be Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Halo 3, The Last of Us, Marvel's Spider-Man, and Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.

Favorite Console

Cameron's owned an array of different consoles over the years, being obsessed with each and every one in turn. Cam's PS2 was his first true experience of gaming, right alongside his GBA, but his most cherished childhood console was the Xbox 360.

Industry Focus

As a Senior Features Writer for The Best War Games, Cameron has spent the last few years discussing practically every facet of the gaming landscape, from industry events like the Game Awards, to the latest releases, and everything in between.
